[Reborn and married off in her sister's place + a brother-in-law who despises her and punishes scoundrels + her ex-husband's desperate pursuit]
Jiang Yunshu and Jiang Yunzhao were twin sisters.
The elder sister, Jiang Yunshu, was gentle and virtuous. After marrying into the marquis's household, she was tormented to death and couldn't even protect her two children.
Reborn, she tried to refuse the marriage but failed, and resolutely chose death. Before she died, she made her younger sister promise her two things:
First, do not marry in her place. The heir is no good, and the marquis's household is a sea of flames. Enter it, and you'll be burned.
Second, cherish the person by your side. Lu Yanzhi may be cold, but he cares for you. One day, he will distinguish himself in the imperial examinations and become a powerful minister.
Jiang Yunzhao tearfully agreed, but didn't tell her sister that she, too, had just been reborn.
In her previous life, Lu Yanzhi did become a powerful minister, but their loving marriage was a sham. She wanted no part of it.
In this life, she would marry into the marquis's household in her sister's place and make the entire family pay for their blood debts.
Lu Yanzhi had been waiting for Jiang Yunzhao to come and admit her mistake these past few days. He waited and waited, but all he got was news of her death.
He refused to believe it and went mad, stopping the funeral procession in the street and insisting that the coffin be opened for inspection.
Later, he stopped the bridal sedan on its way to the marquis's household, insisting on checking whether the bride had a tiny mole behind her ear.
From then on, everyone in the capital knew that the aloof, desireless Lord Lu was trying to steal another man's wife.
He fought and fought, finally hoping to see her divorce, only for her to say she already had someone in her heart?
