In her previous life, everyone mocked Ruan Fu for marrying into the Pei family and remaining childless for years.
Her mother-in-law mistreated and tormented her, while rumors spread through the city. She bore every disgrace alone.
Only after she died, full of resentment, did she learn the truth.
Her husband, Pei Jian, had an old internal injury and was unable to father children for life.
After being reborn
On the day the Pei clan gathered at their ancestral shrine, she suddenly began retching violently in front of everyone.
The hall erupted in an uproar. Caught between a rock and a hard place, Pei Jian was forced to acknowledge the first child as his.
She deliberately befriended the wife of Pei Jian's mentor, then cheerfully announced that she was expecting a second child.
Out of respect for his mentor, Pei Jian could only swallow his anger and accept the child as his again.
When she was carrying her third child, she calmly stood in the main hall of the Pei residence.
She flung a divorce agreement to the floor with a resounding thud. "The father of my children is a powerful man. He doesn't like you. Sign it."
Then Ruan Fu went to the capital.
At a palace banquet, the new emperor saw her, dropped his cup and cut his palm. Blood streamed down his hand, but he didn't even notice.
The battle-hardened general lost his composure on the spot, and years of suppressed feelings surged forth.
The young duke vowed before everyone that he would have no one but her for the rest of his life, and would devote his remaining years to her alone.
Ruan Fu only wanted to find a few handsome fathers for her children, but she never expected…
Why do those powerful men at the palace banquet look so much like the children's fathers?
Wait, what sort of people has she gotten involved with?
