My Husband Faked His Death to Welcome His Mistress, So I Married His Enemy in a Hundred-Mile Bridal Procession

In her previous life, Zhou Shuyi was widowed young. She raised the posthumous son of her husband, who had died on the battlefield, and finally brought the unruly son of his concubine to success and fame. Only then did she discover that she had been poisoned so deeply that she had little time left.

But her husband, supposedly killed in battle, suddenly came back to life.

He led his concubine to her sickbed and told her that what he hated most was women like her, old-fashioned and scheming in the inner household.

The child she had raised with her own hands appeared in the doorway, holding a torch. “Now my father is a god of war, The Outcast and above all others. You’re nothing but a burden while you’re alive. I might as well send you on your way today and return the position of principal wife, which should have belonged to my mother.”

Her mother-in-law, whom she had treated like her own mother, only stroked her adopted grandson’s head and cooed over her darling boy.

In a blaze, Zhou Shuyi was burned to ashes.

When she opened her eyes again, she had been reborn on the day her husband’s concubine’s son entered the household.

If the Duke of Guo’s household had treated her unjustly, she would bring it all crashing down!

She would turn the celebrated, righteous heir into a prisoner despised by everyone!

She would make everyone in the Duke of Guo’s household pay with their lives for what they had done to her in her previous life!

But what was going on with the Fifth Prince, who had agreed to work with her?

Not only had he survived the deadly poison that should have killed him, he had become a ruthless, unpredictable young ruler.

One night, in Zhou Shuyi’s bedchamber, the arrogant young monarch stood before her, his eyes red-rimmed, and offered her the imperial seal with both hands. “How about I marry into your family?”

Zhou Shuyi: “No! Being a caged bird in the imperial harem could never compare to owning a fortune and enjoying life to the fullest.”
