In his previous life, Shen Zhaoning was a widow for the Zhenbei Hou Mansion for ten years.
She spent all her dowry, fulfilled her filial piety for her late husband, supported her younger brother, and brought glory to her family. But in the end, she was waiting for a big joke——
Her husband was not dead at all.
He faked his death and returned to the capital, holding his sweetheart's hand and stepping on her bones. And she, the "virtuous widow", is just a pawn used by the Hou family to protect their wealth, reputation, and secrets.
When she opened her eyes again, she returned to the mourning hall.
The whole capital was waiting to see her wearing sackcloth and mourning, and remaining a widow for the Xie family for the rest of her life.
However, Shen Zhaoning pulled off the filial piety cloth in public and said coldly: "Whoever wants to keep it will keep it."
The prince scolded her for being unfaithful, the noble lady laughed at her for being crazy, and her old husband hid in the dark waiting for her to bow her head.
But the next moment, Regent Xiao Che came to the Hou Mansion in person and handed over a marriage certificate.
"Shen Zhaoning, marry me."
From then on, she wore a red wedding dress and trampled on the lintel of the Hou Mansion; he was in charge of life and death and supported her to the end.
In this life, she does not remain a widow or accept her fate.
Anyone who bullies her should kneel down.
Anyone who betrays her will die.
And what she wanted was never just to remarry the regent...
