I have been a widow for three years, but I did not wait for the chastity memorial memorial, but instead waited for the white silk ribbon handed to me by the elders of the clan - forcing me to "sacrifice my husband for the entire festival" was actually taking away my family property!
At the ancestral hall, I burned incense and swore an oath: "My head may be cut off, but my integrity must not be insulted! The Shen family's property will not be given away even an inch of land!" The elders of the clan laughed ferociously, the county magistrate was partial, and the people ridiculed me as the "disaster of evil".
Then the table was turned over! After checking the account books, suing corrupt officials and fighting clan elders, my widow exposed them in court for embezzling military supplies and colluding with salt lords, shocking the government and the public!
Just as she took a breath, Xiao Jingheng, the powerful Prince Jing in the capital with sharp eyes like a knife, sent a cold edict: "Shen's daughter can be of great use, come to the capital as soon as possible."
I thought it was a reward for meritorious service, but I didn't expect that when I stepped into the palace, I would find myself in the prison of a female clerk, a trap of poisonous tea, a murderous plot in a secret room, and a cold-faced prince, all of which were shocking at every step.
What was even more shocking was that my ex-husband who had been "dead in battle" for many years turned out to be the leader of the Black Flag Alliance. He was vicious and came back with poison.
