    Wei Zhiyun was born into a prestigious family. On the eve of her wedding, her fiancé was swept away by a flood, his body never found. She married into the Meng family, carrying only his memorial tablet. For ten years, she remained a widow, caring for her bedridden mother-in-law and supporting the more than twenty members of the Meng household. Wei Zhiyun toiled her entire life, revitalizing the once-declining Meng family, hoping only that her husband in the afterlife could rest in peace. Later, she fell ill. Her mother-in-law brought her a bowl of poison; her husband, dead for ten years, suddenly returned, plunging a sword into her heart. She then realized that ten years of her life and love had been wasted; he had already fathered children with another. Now that the Meng family was prosperous, he had returned with his new wife, demanding that she, his former lover, relinquish her position as his legal wife. She died with her eyes wide open in anger. Reborn, Wei Zhiyun's sole purpose was revenge. ... The once-declining Meng family gradually rose again under Wei Zhiyun's leadership, attracting much attention. Meng Heng, who had been missing for many years, suddenly returned, wanting to rekindle his romance with Wei Zhiyun. However, a sudden announcement followed: "Second Master Heng, this is a divorce decree personally bestowed by His Majesty. We are no longer husband and wife. Everything in the Meng family is under my name, including this residence where your family lives. The new mansion plaque will be delivered shortly; please move out as soon as possible."

The world couldn't understand: "What does it feel like for a prince to marry a widow?" Prince Ning smiled without anger: "The four most beautiful words in the world are 'unrequited love turned into reality.'"
