[Historical romance + true and fake heiresses + the whole family’s redemption after death + death-themed fiction + countdown]
Shen Zhaoning was the true heiress found by the Marquis of Zhenbei’s household, yet she spent four years testing medicines for the fake heiress, Shen Rourou.
Her internal organs were ruined, and the entire household treated her cruelly.
She kept her head down and endured it, only to be kicked out of a carriage by her second brother and die alone in the wilderness.
After her death, Buddhist chants guided her, granting her a thirty-day countdown as a ghost so she could return and settle her lingering regrets.
As livid marks spread across her body and she gradually rotted, she watched coldly as her father rejected her, her mother forced medicine on her, her brothers despised her, and her fiancé took her enemy’s side.
She gradually lost the ability to speak and move. Her family thought she had finally become obedient, never realizing that she had been dead all along.
When the month was over, her coffin was brought home and her remains revealed.
Only then did everyone in the marquis’s household collapse into madness. They gave away their wealth, knelt in remorse, and begged her to come back.
But she had already been reborn. Now she was a peerless physician who could bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones, as well as the exalted Third Prince’s Consort.
On the day of her investiture, the entire marquis’s household was convicted and exiled, while her second brother, who had abused her the most, was struck by a deadly poison.
The people of the marquis’s household went mad and knelt at her door, begging for help.
“Zhaoning, Mother’s begging you. Please save your second brother!”
“Zhaoning, your big brother was wrong. Please ask the Third Prince to show us mercy!”
“Zhaoning…”
With a chilly look in her eyes, she asked the Buddhist priest beside her, “What is the penalty for falsely accusing a member of the imperial family?”
The priest smiled faintly. “High treason. The whole family can be sentenced to execution by beheading.”
