Reborn on the Day My Fiancé Chose to Save His Concubine-Born Sister

After my family was condemned to exile, my fiancé, Gu Heng, used his military achievements to secure an imperial pardon for one of us. He could choose either me or my half-sister to stay behind.

This time, he took my half-sister.

In my previous life, he honored our betrothal and saved me, thinking he could come back for my half-sister later.

But during the journey into exile, my half-sister could no longer bear the humiliation and smashed her head against the city wall, killing herself.

When Gu Heng found out, he beat me until several of my ribs broke.

Clutching my half-sister’s memorial tablet, he blamed me. “You used our betrothal to force me to save you, and that’s what got Qingqing killed!”

From then on, he beat and humiliated me every day, making me the laughingstock of the entire capital.

With my family gone, I had no way to divorce him. I could only swallow my anger and keep managing his declining marquis’s household.

Later, when the household began to prosper, he made me drink a pot of poisoned wine, then turned around and brought my half-sister’s memorial tablet into the house as his bride.

Everyone praised his devotion, but no one noticed that I struggled in the rear courtyard for three days and nights before I finally died.

When I opened my eyes again, I saw Gu Heng hurrying toward me with an imperial decree in his hand.
