Madwoman

He Jin's mother was poisoned by her younger sister's mother;

He Jin lost her position as the legitimate daughter to her younger sister;

He Jin's betrothed eventually became her younger sister's beloved husband;

And after He Jin married, her husband's family was wiped out by her brother-in-law;

While her younger sister and brother-in-law rose to power and won everyone's praise, He Jin died in a thatched hut with a leaky roof, battered by the wind and rain.

The worst part was that after He Jin was reborn, she discovered that her brother-in-law had been reborn too.

Synopsis from the brother-in-law's perspective:

Ji Xihe's adoptive father killed his mother;

Ji Xihe lost his position as Crown Prince to his younger brother;

Ji Xihe's betrothed was ultimately taken as a wife by someone else through an imperial decree;

After Ji Xihe married, his wife joined forces with his younger brother;

Finally, just when he seemed to have risen to power and earned everyone's praise, Ji Xihe's wife conspired with his younger brother to take his life.

Fortunately, after Ji Xihe was reborn, he discovered that his former betrothed had been reborn too.

[The synopsis from the brother-in-law's perspective contains major spoilers. If it doesn't make sense, please ignore it~]

In a nutshell: Bring your former husband to take on your brother-in-law? Or bring your former fiancee to take on his ex-wife?

This is a one-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, and the setting is fictional. There are plenty of made-up details, so please go easy on the historical accuracy~

The customs here are invented and contradict those of ancient times. To keep readers from getting confused, here are a few notes:

1. A legitimate son can be disinherited for poor conduct. (But being disinherited here doesn't make him a son of a concubine. He is simply no longer acknowledged as a child, though he continues to live in the household. There's no need to change the family register.)

2. A legitimate son can be disinherited for disloyalty or disrespect toward his parents.

3. A concubine can be elevated to the position of principal wife.

4. A man who remarries after his wife's death does not need his father-in-law's permission.

Several readers have pointed out that a legitimate daughter cannot be disinherited. Here is my reply to one of them. If you have the same question, please refer to this answer: [The first step to finding a mistake is to admit it, then correct it. If it can't be corrected, then it should be made up for. As you said, this story is built on a foundation of tofu. I can't correct it, but at least I can make up for it by turning that tofu into frozen tofu. A reader pointed this out to me yesterday, and I admitted the mistake and made amends by adding this note to the synopsis. A legitimate son's status cannot be changed, but he can be disinherited. In other words, he is no longer acknowledged as a child, though there's no need to change the family register.]

A friendly reminder: Unless something unexpected happens, I'll post a locked chapter around 12:30 p.m. and replace it before 9 p.m. Thank you all for your support

JJ often glitches. If the site says there's been an update but refreshing the page doesn't show anything, change "WWW" to "ffyy" to see the updated chapter.

The garbled text in Chapter 66 has been fixed~ If you still can't see it, change WWW to LJJ or XXOO.
