So I Was the Dead Wife of the Villainous Chief Minister

When Shen Zhitang woke up with a fever, she discovered she had traveled to ancient times and taken the place of the previous Host.

From the System, she learned that the original owner had a terrible relationship with her villainous husband. This future villain, feared by all, had lived alone in his study for years.

Shen Zhitang quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Their relationship was already in shambles. If they kept drifting apart, it was only a matter of time before they divorced, right? Then she'd be free to roam wherever she pleased!

So, with an attitude of slacking off and coasting, she started pretending to complete her missions.

Who could have guessed...

She merely stopped by the study, and that infamous cold-hearted villain moved back into the bedroom that very night.

Huh?

What happened to their terrible relationship? What happened to living apart for years? How did one meeting send him straight to sharing a bed with her? Wait...

Before she could react, he had already pulled her into his arms.

Early the next morning, before Shen Zhitang had recovered from the shock of the previous night, there was a thunderous bang and someone kicked open the bedroom door.

A furious young man stormed in. "You slept together?!"

Shen Zhitang jumped. Before she could say a word, a cool voice came from above her head. "What's all the noise? Call her Mother."

Shen Zhitang: "..."

How had she suddenly ended up with a grown son at such a young age?

Remembering that the System had said the father and son had a terrible relationship, she worried they might start fighting right there. Instead, the young man froze for a moment, then obediently called, "Mother."

His eyes turned red as he started to throw himself into her arms.

Huh? This grown son seemed pretty sweet!

Shen Zhitang's heart nearly melted. She was just reaching out to pat his head when the villain, his face dark, grabbed the child in her arms and tossed him right out the door.

"You're old enough to know better. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"

The young man's indignant voice immediately came from outside. "I'm not ashamed? You held Mother while you slept all night! Why can't I hug her?"

Shen Zhitang was so embarrassed she could have dug a hole in the floor with her toes.

But at least they hadn't realized she was an impostor.

And so the days went by.

Shen Zhitang counted on her fingers and waited...

Why hadn't they divorced yet?

Seven years ago, during the autumn hunt, Pei Yanshu learned that his wife had fallen off a cliff after encountering a wild bear, leaving no body behind. He felt as if his own life had ended with hers.

If he hadn't had a young child to care for and a blood debt to avenge, he would have wanted to follow her then and there.

Four years ago, his wife came back.

But with just one glance, he knew that the person inside that body wasn't his Tangtang.

He wanted to kill them and reclaim that body, but he was afraid of hurting her in the slightest. If he hurt her, would his Tangtang really never come back?

So all he could do was wait, endure, and keep watch over that empty shell as if it were an empty grave.

Until that day.

He sensed it almost instantly.

It was her.

His Tangtang had finally come home.

But the way she looked at him was clear and unfamiliar, tinged with cautious curiosity and scrutiny.

She remembered nothing.

Not him, nor their child.
