Reborn, I Faked My Death and Married Another Man, Driving the General Mad

[Rebirth + feel-good revenge + the scumbag gets what he deserves]

Cen Jiao was praised by everyone as the perfect lady of the house. The year the general faked his death, she single-handedly kept the General's Estate from falling apart.

When the general returned, she thought the hard times were finally over. But he turned around and married the maid who had served his mother-in-law, then told her, “Xinyue and I were childhood sweethearts. You took her place.”

The general traded his military achievements for an imperial title for Lin Xinyue, raised her to the rank of concubine, and instead had Cen Jiao confined in the temple.

Only as she lay dying did Cen Jiao realize that after devoting her entire life to the General's Estate, all she had received was betrayal, twice over.

All because of a rumor that she resembled the woman in the portrait kept in the heir's chambers.

That earned her a bowl of abortifacient from the general.

All because her child stood in the way of Lin Xinyue giving birth to the eldest son.

None of it had been worth the cost!

Cen Jiao flung herself against the candlestick, ending her life as she tried to burn the General's Estate to the ground.

When she opened her eyes again,

she was reborn.

-

Lin Xinyue and Liang Zhixu had pledged themselves to each other in their youth, until Cen Jiao came between them.

Feeling threatened, Lin Xinyue goaded Cen Jiao into taking her own life.

Cen Jiao did just as she wished.

But before Lin Xinyue could even celebrate, Liang Zhixu's sword pierced her chest.

When she opened her eyes again, she was back in the year Liang Zhixu had faked his death.

This time, she would walk the path Cen Jiao had taken and leave Cen Jiao with nowhere to turn. She would never let her take Liang Zhixu or anything that should have been hers.

-

For a long time, Liang Zhixu disliked the wife his maternal grandfather had chosen for him.

It was only when the temple where Cen Jiao was confined went up in flames that he realized she had somehow found her way into his heart.

When he opened his eyes again, he was back in the year he had faked his death...

The thing Shen Jin regretted most in his life was lying when Cen Jiao asked him, “Is the woman in the portrait in the heir's chambers me?”
