Shen Xiaozhong, the top scholar in Jinyun Prefecture, is said to have good character, a fine family background, and extraordinary talent. Who could have guessed that he was destined to outlive his wives? He has already seen eleven wives die, and at the grand old age of twenty-two, he remains unmarried.
She is Lan Ziyue, a wandering soul trapped in the original owner's body. She is ugly and fat, her father doesn't care for her, her mother doesn't love her, and at over eighteen, no one wants to marry her. A marriage decree forces her to wed Shen Xiaozhong.
Just as everyone expects her to become his twelfth deceased wife, a miracle happens.
Not only does she survive, she becomes famous far and wide for bringing good fortune to her husband. Every time she helps him solve a major case, he gets promoted...
But how did all those promotions end with her becoming empress?!
