Also known as The Reborn Mistress of the Marquis's Household Divorces Her Husband with Style and Joins the Rebel Army
In her previous life, Lin Wanxin was the legitimate daughter of the prestigious Lin family. She married Jiang Ren, the legitimate son of the Marquis of Zhongwu, and began managing the entire household at just seventeen.
At eighteen, giving birth to a daughter damaged her health, yet she was still blamed for not bearing a legitimate son.
She toiled tirelessly despite her illness, managing the family affairs and maintaining the household's extravagant lifestyle. They even forced her to adopt her husband's concubine's son.
Her kind grandmother-in-law held her hand and called her a good granddaughter-in-law, then turned around and stuffed another woman into her husband's bedchamber.
Her mother-in-law ate vegetarian meals and prayed to Buddha, but had a heart as venomous as a snake's. She treated Lin Wanxin as nothing more than a useful housekeeper.
Her husband seemed noble and upright, always preaching loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness, yet when rebels abducted her, he cowered and did nothing.
After three years of laboring for the marquis's household, all she received was a yard of white silk.
“You were abducted by rebels, bringing shame upon the marquis's family. A yard of white silk is enough to let you die with dignity.”
Through tearful eyes, she realized that the man who shared her bed was so heartless. In the end, the adopted son she had lovingly raised poured poison down her throat.
“Just die. Once you're gone, my mother will be the lady of the house.”
How absurd. Her short life had been crushed by the etiquette that bound women. What would become of her poor little daughter?
Reborn into a new life, she would not repeat her past mistakes. She would settle every score, one by one.
When the rebel army arrived, she divorced her husband with decisive flair.
But she never expected to marry the rebel army's great general.
The legendary living King of Hell, said to frighten children into tears, loved her deeply and cherished her with all his heart.
