After Being Exiled, the Cannon Fodder Widow Rose to Power in a Chaotic Era

Ling Zhao transmigrates from the apocalypse into an old-fashioned tragic romance novel, where she becomes the cannon-fodder widowed sister-in-law of a deranged villain.

From the start, she's on the road to exile, and her original self is plotting to steal money and elope with her lover.

According to the story, after the original self runs off with all the gold, silver, and valuables, her lover turns on her and robs her.

With no money to bribe their way along the road, the villain's family suffers all kinds of torment. Before they can even reach the place of exile, they all die one after another, leaving only the villain alive.

To avenge them, the villain bides his time, stirs up chaos, and eventually overthrows the dynasty, wiping out his enemies and their entire families.

Ling Zhao: ...There's no way I'm running.

She has a wood-element ability that lets her protect herself and treat illnesses.

With her medical skills, she thrives in the far northwest.

Even the villain, who will one day become a bloodthirsty killer, has to behave himself and call her Sister-in-Law.

But the emperor is incompetent, foreign enemies invade, and rebellion brews within.

Ling Zhao, who only wants a peaceful retirement, angrily flips the table. "Nobody is going to ruin my quiet life!"

Ling Zhao cultivates high-yield crops, develops medicine, gathers troops and stores provisions…

Before long, the bitterly cold borderlands become the only paradise in a chaotic world.

The villainous younger brother-in-law, who was supposed to stir things up, no longer leaves. Instead, he guards the city for her, though he looks at her in increasingly strange ways.

In the darkness, someone takes his hand.

And so the vicious wolf willingly puts on shackles and bows to her.
