My Doomed Husband Finally Made It to the Table in His Fifth Life

[Volume One] Ji Yuesheng's perspective:

She felt like a joke. After she was thrown in prison, her white moonlight dropped the act, confessed to all his misdeeds, and granted her a complete corpse.

She closed her eyes, then opened them again. She was dead.

Her soul left her body, and memories from three lifetimes flooded her mind. Only then did she realize this was her fourth life.

In every life, her memories vanished with Yun Lin's death, and she fell into the cycle of reincarnation once more, trapped in a twenty-year tragedy.

This time, on a whim, she went to read Yun Lin's final letter, the token of rebirth she'd missed in all three previous lives. So when she awoke in her fifth life, she had the memories of all four.

She returned to the day she failed the spring examinations at eighteen. The tragedy had yet to begin. Knowing the neighboring kingdom's delegation, which would frame her father for treason, was about to arrive in the capital, she immediately took action...

Yun Lin's perspective:

A year after being reborn, every time he returned to his previous life in memory, his chest felt unbearably heavy.

He approached Ji Yuesheng to exact revenge, but fell hopelessly in love with her. By the time he wanted to pull away, it was already too late.

He knew she married him to help Gongsun Sheng rise to power, yet he willingly let her use him.

Whenever she sleepwalked back to the Yun residence, calling out Gongsun Sheng's name as she kissed him and tugged at his clothes, he could never bring himself to push her away.

In this life, he wanted to stop the tragedy that would befall both families and prevent her from falling for Gongsun Sheng again. Yet fate played its cruel trick, and she still climbed into Gongsun Sheng's carriage...

[Volume Two]

Gongsun Sheng didn't disappoint Ji Yuesheng. After the selection examinations, he had Yuan Min, the Minister of Personnel, appoint her magistrate of Penglai County in Dengzhou.

Though Penglai was a high-ranking county and its magistrate held the rank of sixth grade, it was far from the capital. Besides, this was where the doctrine of female virtue that shackled women had originated. The difficulties she would face as a woman taking office there were obvious.

Ji Yuesheng knew full well that Gongsun Sheng wanted to break her spirit.

[Volumes Three and Four]

On the way back to the capital, Ji Yuesheng took a detour to Gongsun Ye's fief and uncovered his misdeeds. She was furious, but it also gave her a reason to bring Gongsun Ye down.

As they moved to bring Gongsun Ye down, Yun Lin uncovered a secret shared by Gongsun Ye and Gongsun Sheng.

He thought the secret could help them weaken Gongsun Sheng's power. But before he could tell Ji Yuesheng what he had in mind, he was imprisoned and ultimately killed by Gongsun Sheng.

When Ji Yuesheng saw Yun Lin's body, she broke down several times, but in her despair, she also found a way forward.

She decided to enter the cycle of reincarnation once more.

Ji Yuesheng wasted no time. She ground ink and wrote her final letter, then found poison and lay down in Yun Lin's coffin. Looking at his pale profile, she drove a needle into his throat and ended her own life.

In the sixth life, Yun Lin awoke to discover that Gongsun Sheng and Ye An had also been reborn...
