The Spineless Supporting Actress's Last Life: Marrying a Stand-In Husband

Liu Chi has had terrible luck. She's lived three lifetimes, and in every one she suffered terribly and died a miserable death. Her last life was the worst of all: she took over the body of Liu Chi, the young county lady of the Xinping Prince's Mansion.

At ten years old, her entire family was condemned to death after an argument.

Her fiance, Situ Wujie, fled for his life with her, hiding and scraping by for over a year, until he died taking a blade for her.

The age of chaos had arrived.

With his dying breath, Situ Wujie told her to find some remote place, marry a man, and somehow survive the rest of her life.

After many twists and turns, Liu Chi became the young widow of Zhu Yu, a sickly scholar. To hold on to her mud-brick house and two acres of mountain land, she had no choice but to find a matchmaker and 'buy' a man to become her replacement husband.

A replacement husband ranked even lower than a proper live-in son-in-law.

A down-and-out young general, on the brink of death, hid his identity to survive and became the impoverished Chen Xun. Swallowing his humiliation, he went to the home of the widow Zhu Li Shi (Liu Chi) to serve as her miserable replacement husband.

The story begins here.

Liu Chi hid her appearance. She meant to take in a replacement husband, have a son, and live out the rest of her life in peace.

Who could have guessed... that she wouldn't get to decide how miserable her life would be?

She learns by chance that her sister, who had been scraping by, has been disgraced. Before she can do anything, her replacement husband sleeps with her, then runs off! The Xu army comes after her, accusing her of hiding rebels. There's no room for her in Qingshui Town anymore.

Enough. I'm done being a pushover. To the capital!

Cui Chuan, you were destined to be my replacement husband. You escaped once, but do you think you'll get away a second time?

Hah!
