She died under the white banners of Wuwei Hou Mansion - her husband died in battle, her youngest son died in infancy, her dowry was eaten away, and there was no one around her when she died.
But she saw her sister-in-law Shen Lingyi.
The sister who stole her engagement and married into the Dingbei Hou Mansion and enjoyed all the glory was also dead. He will never die with his eyes in peace, just like her.
Two women who had hated each other all their lives found out before they died that it was the same person who really plotted against them.
When he opened his eyes again, Shen Lingrong returned to the month before the marriage proposal.
In her previous life, she was pushed into a fire pit by her aunt to protect her sister from disaster; in this life, she believed in no one but herself.
Instigating rebel spies, exposing poisoners, taking charge of middle-level feeders, and supporting hidden undercovers... Step by step, she went from being the most inconspicuous daughter-in-law in the Hou family to being in the imperial court.
But this road is more difficult than she thought -
The husband's life experience is a mystery, the queen is pressing closer, the new emperor is suspicious of the hero, and the sister-in-law who has also been reborn, is she an enemy or a friend?
From the deep house to the court, from the chess pieces to the chess players.
In this life, she will not be anyone's substitute.
