Brooding Wet Ghost X Slow-Witted Widow
Blurb:
Lin Wan had beautiful eyes, but truly terrible judgment. Of the three hundred talented young men on the spring examination list, she had somehow chosen the worst one.
The History of Zhou, Biographies of Treacherous Ministers, records: “Vice Minister Song Yi was poor and without status in his youth. Under the pretext of managing the rivers, he extorted money without restraint and acted unlawfully at will. In the twelfth year of Yuanqi, he was escorted back to the capital, died violently on the road, and the common people celebrated.”
It was bad enough that Song Yi had died disgracefully. He also caused her to become a young widow with a ruined reputation.
Before long, she set her sights on Xie Chao'an, the eldest son of the Xie family, who had once been known alongside Song Yi as one of the Twin Geniuses.
A truly flawless gentleman of jade.
The Xie clan of Chenyang was a wealthy family with generations of noble officeholders. Xie Chao'an, who would one day inherit the family headship, was more than a hundred times better than Song Yi.
Yet she had once been the wife of a convicted minister. Even after shedding that burden, she could not reach the position of the Xie family's principal daughter-in-law, no matter how far she stretched her neck or rose onto her toes.
Fortunately, the Second Young Master of the Xie family eagerly helped her, and she finally achieved her wish and married into the family.
A large hand with prominent knuckles gently lifted the wedding veil. The red candles before her must have dazzled her eyes.
Otherwise, how could the person holding the wedding silk before her be the Second Young Master of the Xie family?!
Forced beneath the ornate bed curtains, she watched every light go out at once. In the darkness, the voice of her deceased husband, Song Yi, drawled leisurely:
“This time, I have everything you want: endless wealth, a noble birth, and the good name of a gentleman. Wanwan, you should be smiling happily... Why are you trembling?”
“Because you also know that the trap deliberately arranged to send me to my death was carefully planned and could not fail, don't you?”
#A love-struck fool's revenge
#When I say I hate you, I mean I hate that you don't love me

Notes:
1. The dynasty is fictional.
2. The male lead's perspective in the blurb contains a misunderstanding. The main story uses dual perspectives.
3. The male lead's original body dies, and his soul is reborn in the body of the second male lead's younger brother. The historical timeline remains unchanged.
Theme: Leave one's innocence behind in this world
