   Reader note

   In my past life, my elder sister, on her deathbed, held my hand and said, "I hate you the most in this life." It was because her husband of five years loved me. I was only thirteen that year, hiding behind a screen to secretly eat pastries, and he drew me on paper, remembering me for the rest of his life. My elder sister died with resentment, and I, burdened with the stigma of having an affair with my brother-in-law, died unjustly. Reborn, I awoke to find my elder sister again, holding that plate of osmanthus cake, smiling and coaxing me to the front hall for a marriage proposal. I pushed her hand away: "No, Wen had an upset stomach yesterday." In this life, whoever wants that sweet cake can eat it, and whoever wants that marriage can marry—I will never again be the person in his painting.

    ❤️The husband, whom she had arranged to marry to ward off bad luck, opened his eyes and immediately threw a letter of divorce in her face, then faked his death for ten years. With the consent of their parents and the witness of their clan, her brother-in-law, who had taken on two wives, and she, along with her, had two children in three years and rose rapidly through the ranks, wielding immense power. Then, her deceased husband returned with his new wife. Upon entering, he immediately tried to sow discord among her: "Sister-in-law, this is your sister-in-law! We absolutely cannot let that shrew, Song Pangya, ride roughshod over her! When your second brother returns, you must persuade him to take charge and drive that shrew out of the house, making way for your sister-in-law!" Song Huaijun sat upright in the hall, straightening her not-so-disheveled clothes. "I am that shrew, Song Pangya." Her husband, who had faked his death, immediately slid to his knees: "Girl, I was wrong, I'm kneeling before you, let's make up, okay?" Pei Yan said, "If you continue like this, I'll really hang you on the wall." He turned to Song Huaijun, "It's late, Ayan will serve Madam to bed."
