[Satisfying Read + Vengeful Heroine + Face-Slapping the Scum + Devoted Male Lead + Political Schemes + The Fate of the Nation]
Gu Nanzhi, the spirited and outstanding legitimate daughter of a general’s household, has always been every bit as capable as any man. She and her childhood sweetheart, Shen Shibai, were betrothed from a young age.
One day, she fell unconscious, and a woman from another world took over her body. She watched as the transmigrator became obsessed with the top scholar Jiang Jinchuan, throwing tantrums and stirring up trouble. In the end, the woman turned everyone against herself and broke off her engagement to her childhood sweetheart, Shen Shibai, just to marry Jiang Jinchuan.
Jiang Jinchuan and Jiang Jinmo are twin brothers. Born into poverty, they both became top scholars in the civil and military examinations. On their wedding day, Jiang Jinmo died saving Jiang Jinchuan. The Jiang family didn’t want to give up their connection to the powerful marquis’s household, nor did they want to lose Gu Nanzhi, their money-making asset. So the whole family conspired to conceal the truth and have her serve both branches of the family: enjoy a passionate relationship with her elder sister-in-law, while keeping her around to work like an ox and a horse for them…
They wanted it all. It was utterly disgusting.
…
The moment Gu Nanzhi regained control of her body, the scoundrel dragged her in front of a blade to take the hit for him.
Gu Nanzhi exploded on the spot, snatched the knife, and stabbed the shameless bastard straight through. Then she plastered a divorce letter across his face.
To restore her family’s honor, she took her dowry and turned around to marry her childhood sweetheart, Shen Shibai, who had died young.
So what if it was a ghost marriage? So what if she became a widow? So what if she became someone’s stepmother?
In a turbulent age of chaos, with treacherous ministers in power, she took up her red-tasseled spear and went to war. She made a name for herself, cut down old enemies, and destroyed corrupt officials, proving to the world that this was not a world belonging only to men. Women, too, could stand tall and carve out their own place beneath the heavens.
Later, the scoundrel’s entire family regretted what they’d done and begged for forgiveness, while everyone in the prince’s household protected the heroine like a precious treasure.
That night, someone pinned her firmly against the bed, his eyes bloodshot. “A Nan, don’t leave me again…”
