Yan Hesui, the head of a reclusive ancient clan, transmigrates into the body of the fifth daughter-in-law, sold by her husband’s family to be wed to a dead man in a ghost marriage.
The original owner was hardworking and gentle as water, yet treated poorly.
Her new husband was sent to the battlefield by his parents, never to be heard from again. Her posthumous child was born prematurely and starved to death. She was worked like an ox, beaten, and punished in the Zhu household, treated worse than a dog.
Yan Hesui has never suffered the slightest indignity in her life. Even passing dogs wouldn’t dare bark at her. How could she put up with such humiliation?
She beats the entire Zhu family, sells off all her in-laws’ property, registers as a household of her own, and heads for the border to find her husband, all so she can divorce him.
But the Prince of War tricks her, trapping her into staying bound to her husband.
Yan Hesui: “You promised we’d get divorced!”
Zhu Yuanzhou: “Just wait a little longer.”
The Prince of War, delighted matchmaker: “Heh heh heh…”
The mighty general, feared by all, kneels outside the tent. “Huisui, let your husband in!”
Yan Hesui: “Get lost!”
Her back aches. She doesn’t want another night of this.
Not too long-winded, worth a look
