At the Qionglin Banquet, the newly crowned top scholar rescued the only daughter of the Duke’s household from drowning. They married happily, and their story became a celebrated tale.
Only on the brink of death did Fu Yunshu learn that her parents’ romance was actually a carefully laid scheme. Her father already had a first wife, who had lived with the Fu family for years under the guise of a cousin’s wife.
The son her mother bore was secretly switched with their illegitimate child, left to live a miserable life in lowly circumstances. And Fu Yunshu herself had her husband stolen by the so-called cousin and died with her heart ripped out.
Reborn on the day her engagement was to be discussed, she caught her cousin and the scoundrel carrying on right before her eyes. Fu Yunshu brought people to catch them in the act and decisively called off the engagement.
What? An imperial decree had already arranged the marriage, so breaking it would be a crime against the emperor?
Just then, news arrived that Fourth Uncle Gu had died after defeating the enemy. Fu Yunshu promptly married him instead, transforming herself into a widow with glory and honor to her name.
As she sought revenge, one mystery after another came to light, and a horrifying conspiracy to steal another’s life and place gradually emerged. Her top-scholar father’s true face was enough to make anyone’s blood run cold!
Even more shocking was Prince Yi, the hostage who had returned from the enemy kingdom. His features, temperament, and secret habits all matched those of the supposedly dead Fourth Uncle Gu.
He kept drawing near, urging her again and again not to remain a widow but to find a new love, tempting her to stray every day. So it had all been his own doing from beginning to end, as he gleefully cuckolded himself?
After listening to it, it disappears? Update soon! Not bad, a very good book, worth reading!
At the beginning, the wife and her husband's family were too annoying.
