You Don't Understand the Joy of a Dead Husband (Reborn)

The new emperor of Great Jin is hopelessly lovesick, and every day he finds new ways to get himself killed for the sake of a woman.

"I sacrificed too much for the throne."

"I could have spent my whole life with the woman I love!"

"I don't want to! I won't listen! I want Liniang!"

At last, one day, the new emperor eloped with Liniang.

In her previous life, Yan Lingyi had exhausted herself trying to bring the new emperor back. But he hated her to the bone and still refused to govern diligently. He continued to indulge in wine and women, and treated human lives as worthless, until the dynasty fell and his family was destroyed.

In this life, when Yan Lingyi opened her eyes again, she was back on the night the new emperor eloped.

This time, however, she did not go to save him. She watched as he escaped his cage.

He wanted freedom, so she gave it to him. As for the emperor and the imperial heir, she had her own way of dealing with them.

The day the Regent realized something was wrong with the new emperor, he discovered that the empress, renowned for her dignified bearing, had drugged him.

He thought she meant to kill him to secure the throne, but he never expected Yan Lingyi to gently brush his lower body through a layer of silk.

The Regent went rigid.

"The fate of Great Jin rests on you." Her tone was earnest. "Make sure it works on the first try."

The Regent: ?

A righteous-to-the-point-of-evil empress, who will take on anyone and has boundless energy and drive × a regent who coughs blood at the slightest breeze but just won't die

A proud, beauty-loving, universally adored little princess (with a radish version) × an energetic puppy-like young scholar × a ruthless rebel leader × the princess of the Southern Snow Kingdom

Coming next: My Hated Sister-in-Law Is Reborn

Wen Yu's husband left on business in a fit of anger after an argument with her, only to die on the way.

Everyone in the household blamed Wen Yu, and she knew she was at fault. Whether it was her mother-in-law making things difficult or her sister-in-law picking fights, she endured it all. She even kept using her maternal family's influence to help her husband's family.

Two years later, after her maternal family fell into ruin, her husband showed up with a concubine who had already borne him two sons. Only then did Wen Yu learn that her husband hadn't died at all. Afraid of being held responsible for botching his official duties, he had faked his death and escaped, all so he could live happily with his concubine.

His mother and younger siblings all knew, but pretended not to.

When the truth came out, her mother-in-law said impatiently, "Why are you making such a fuss? We kept it from you because we were afraid you'd let it slip."

Her sister-in-law said, "You should be happy my brother came back. Why are you putting on a sour face?"

Her brother-in-law said, "What man doesn't take concubines?"

Wen Yu had been a fool her entire life, and they'd devoured every last bit of her!

Consumed by grief and resentment, Wen Yu died of illness. When she opened her eyes again, she was back on the day the news of her husband's death arrived.

She sat bolt upright in her sickbed and hired an assassin that very night to kill her husband!

You piece of trash, stay dead out there!

#Get promoted, get rich, husband dies, and all the estate is mine#

#Every cause has its effect, and I am your comeuppance#

#Now that's vicious#

Lord Qi, on his way to Jiangnan to provide disaster relief, vanished mysteriously along with a huge sum of money. The Crown Prince, who was overseeing the relief effort, began investigating. As he painstakingly pieced together the clues, they all pointed to one person.

With tears in her eyes, that person bowed gracefully to him. "I beg Your Highness to uncover the truth about my husband."

The Crown Prince regarded her with a cold expression.

Some people wear a pitiful, innocent face, but underneath hide a black heart oozing pus.

Sooner or later, he would drag her out and expose her to the blazing sun.
