The Yongning Marquisate, once a prestigious noble house, now has nothing left but a faded plaque hanging over its gate.
Shen Yuchan married into the Shen family twenty years ago. She endured until she became a mother of three, until the household called her a “submissive matriarch,” and until her mother-in-law saw her as the easiest daughter-in-law to manipulate.
All her life, she believed in just one principle: a harmonious family brings prosperity.
Until the age of seventy-seven, when she died alone in a side room, unable to see any of her three children through to the end. Her eldest daughter was beaten to death by her gambling husband. Her second daughter died young, consumed by grief after Shen Yuchan herself ruined her future. Her youngest son was pushed into the river and drowned.
The “respectability” she had spent her life preserving earned her only four words in the end: her family destroyed, her loved ones dead.
When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the age of forty-one.
It was the very first day her husband brought home Concubine Liu, a former courtesan.
She neither cried nor made a scene. She simply looked at her still-youthful face in the bronze mirror and said softly:
“This time, I will never make the same mistakes again.”
Not one person who killed her children would escape this time.
It feels very AI
The relationship is not right, the name changes quickly, is it real or Ai?
What kind of logic is this? Why does a concubine always let her manage the marriage of her legitimate daughter? The mistress is here to watch?
Super exciting, touching and inspiring, daughters should be self-reliant
