[System + strong female lead + exile + raising kids + emptying a pocket dimension + lighthearted, satisfying read]
Jiang Mingyue transmigrates into the body of a frail widow and opens her eyes to find a confession letter in front of her. The Marquis’s household wants her to take the blame for the entire family, and they’re even planning to secretly sell her three children. Everyone expects her to bow her head and accept her fate, but Jiang Mingyue tears up the confession letter on the spot. She won’t admit to any crime, and no one is laying a hand on her children. The third branch swallowed her dowry, silver, food, and medicine. They’ll have to return it all with interest. The Marquis’s household wants to search her home? The first place to be emptied will be their private treasury. The broker dares to sell her children? They won’t keep a single coin, contract, or carriage meant to collect them. The powerful cut off her food and medicine, the prince’s household kidnaps her children, and the emperor orders the family’s goods seized and sends them into exile. However much silver, food, weapons, and military supplies they bring in to harm her, Jiang Mingyue will take away just as much. Her body may be weak, but she never goes easy on anyone. When the exiles leave Shengjing in shackles, everyone thinks a penniless widow with three children won’t survive more than a few days. No one knows that her forgotten pocket dimension is already stocked with half of Shengjing’s money, food, medicine, carriages, and military supplies. Along the way, anyone who tries to trade her children for a brighter future will see their own household stripped bare first.
Not bad, very nice. I like.
