My Soul Transmigrated into My Husband's Stepmother

[Super Over-the-Top Angst] A kind, long-suffering heroine x a devoted, unhinged hero

Sheng Ru married her childhood sweetheart, Liu Zihan, but less than a year later, she was tortured to death by the new matriarch, who had only recently joined the family.

To her surprise, when Sheng Ru opened her eyes again, she had become the very woman who had tortured her to death: her father-in-law's second wife!

And her husband, the love of her life, her childhood sweetheart, was looking at her with hatred in his eyes.

Sheng Ru was beside herself with anguish. What was she supposed to do? One step forward was forbidden, and one step back was an abyss.

After enduring Liu Zihan's humiliating revenge, Sheng Ru finally accepted reality.

If they couldn't be husband and wife, then they could be family.

She became gentle and virtuous, treating her husband with mutual respect, doting on the younger generation, and even making arrangements for Xie Zihan to marry a second wife.

She introduced Xie Zihan to eligible young women and gave them some time alone. Then she went off to a corner, where she could no longer hold back and burst into tears. Unexpectedly, Liu Zihan's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Why are you crying?"

Sheng Ru jumped in surprise.

A wild answer was forming in Liu Zihan's mind. His heart surged, yet he could hardly believe it. He swallowed repeatedly, his voice still hoarse.

"Why is my stepmother crying?"

He advanced on her, one step at a time.

"Tell me, you're Sheng Ru."

Sheng Ru was struck as if by lightning.

Why would Heaven play such a cruel joke on her?

Just as she had begun to accept this bizarre turn of events, her husband from her previous life had discovered who she was.

Xie Zihan was struggling too, in agony, but he simply couldn't give her up. At last, his eyes bloodshot, he gripped her wrist tightly. "I don't care what your identity is now. You're my wife. We have to be together."
