I pretended to be ill for three years and married the man who sentenced my mother to death unjustly.
On the wedding night, Shen Su pinched my chin and sneered: "I married you to make your life worse than death."
I coughed up blood and it turned red. I looked up softly and said, "Husband... It hurts..."
Later——
He investigated the case, but my "sickness" overturned the court;
He was interrogating prisoners, and I "fainted" and smashed the torture chamber;
He stayed up late, and I fed him soup with "added ingredients."
The whole capital laughs at me for being stupid for marrying the living king of hell and still seeking death every day.
Until he pushed me against the wall, his eyes scarlet:
"Lin Wan, how long will you keep pretending?"
I burst into tears: "Husband... I'm cold... Hug me..."
He didn't know that when he started to feel distressed, he had lost the overall situation.
Later, when I was "critically ill", he knelt down to all the famous doctors;
I was "in coma" and he cut my blood to use as medicine;
I "came back to my senses" and said softly: "Husband... I want to see the files on my mother's case..."
The once selfless Shen Shaoqing pried open the royal archives for me and blocked thirteen assassinations for me.
Late at night he knelt in front of my bed, his voice trembling:
"I'll give you whatever you want... I just ask you to stop coughing up blood... I feel pain..."
I leaned on the bed and chuckled.
Stupid dog.
If you don't cough up blood, how can you let this coldest knife——
Are you willing to massacre the city for me?

The first part is about avenging one's mother and marrying a judge, and the second part is about the long and steady life story. It's a whole life story. It's very complete and very interesting.
I think the setting is very well written, but the pace feels a bit fast. If the details can be polished, it will feel explosive.
