Xie Lingyue has a secret: the military honors her husband earned were really hers!
For twenty years, she poured her heart and soul into planning every move for him, helping him rise to the rank of general and earn a noble title, and winning glory for his entire family.
But when she was worn out and near death, he cast her aside like a worn-out shoe because she had borne him no children, then took a concubine with every justification.
Her mother urged her, “A woman belongs to her husband after marriage. Just endure it, and it will pass.”
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day her fate changed.
This time, she would give up her reputation as a virtuous wife and marry the “short-lived” heir, waiting to become a widow.
But no matter how long she waited, why wouldn’t the heir die?
On their wedding night, Xiao Yunmo decided to teach his frail bride, who had begged the emperor to marry him and declared she would wed no one else, a lesson.
He would leave her alone in the bridal chamber until she learned her place and gave up.
Who knew his bride wouldn’t cry or make a fuss? In one swift move, she tossed all his bedding outside and locked the door.
He was stunned. This woman was nothing like he’d imagined.
Later, every night the heir carried his bedding and knocked pitifully on her door. “My lady, I was wrong!”
The short-lived heir is still alive, and keeps trying to climb into her bed. What should she do?
