Lin Le'an transmigrates into the Ming dynasty as a young widow?
That doesn't sound so bad!
After all, the benefits are amazing! Her husband's family are all officials. Her father-in-law holds a first-rank post, and several of her uncles have positions in government offices. Her mother-in-law and sisters-in-law are easy to get along with, too. They say she's supposed to spend her days mourning her husband at home, but you have no idea how big this house is! Let's put it this way: after taking a stroll around the place, your legs might hurt!
In her free time, she can feed the fish in the little pond, enjoy roasted delicacies, listen to opera, and play mahjong. She gets eight new outfits for every season, a monthly allowance, and extra bonuses for holidays. Life couldn't be more comfortable!
Then one day, she accidentally learns that her father-in-law is named Zhang Juzheng!
Lin Le'an is instantly thrown into turmoil.
Could it be that Zhang Juzheng, the one whose family was confiscated and whose corpse was whipped after his death?!!
Suddenly, even her sunflower seeds lose their flavor, and the opera isn't as entertaining. She looks at the closets full of fine silk and satin, and the boxes of jewelry. Does that mean none of it will belong to her anymore?
No! Lin Le'an swears to protect her jewelry to the death. No, to protect the good name of the Zhang family!
