In my previous life, my husband's beloved concubine, Shen Suyuan, left my thousand-year-old turtle to die in the sun. Without a word, I blew up her pond full of koi.
Later, her father returned to the capital without permission, getting the whole family executed. I was accused of having an affair with another man, and my husband, Gu An, personally drowned me in a pig cage.
After my death, he immediately elevated his concubine and cousin to the position of principal wife, petitioned to have her child named heir, and showered them with wealth and glory.
Only then did I realize that someone else was the one Gu An truly cared about. We were nothing but stepping stones on his path to promotion.
Shen Suyuan and I had fought in the inner household, only to end up paving the way for someone else.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day Shen Suyuan threw a tantrum and left my turtle to die in the sun.
