Wen Qing died.
She died on the delivery bed.
To her dying day, she never imagined that when she was having a difficult labor, her husband would choose to save the baby and abandon her!
She asked herself: apart from using some unsavory methods to marry him, which had happened through a twist of fate, she had never done anything else to wrong him.
She showed respect to her unreliable in-laws, took care of her difficult sister-in-law, managed the household, and carefully ran the businesses outside the home. She went to great lengths to socialize with the ladies of various households and gather information.
She worked diligently, wore herself out, and stayed on tenterhooks, making sure to handle every detail as a high-ranking household's matriarch should.
Even when she was pregnant and couldn't look after her husband, she had proactively arranged for him to take two beautiful concubines.
Who in the outside world wouldn't praise her as the exemplary wife of the Heir of Marquis Ping'an?
Wen Qing died with bitterness in her heart, her eyes still open.
When she woke, she had returned to four years earlier.
At that moment, she was lying beside Xie Peizong. Outside the door, her concubine mother was on her way with a group of people.
Wen Qing swung her hand back and gave Xie Peizong a resounding slap.
From then on, their debts were settled. They would have nothing more to do with each other!
Before long, she discovered something incredible: she could briefly "steal" Xie Peizong's abilities.
Strength: Wow! How about Lin Daiyu uprooting a willow tree?
Martial arts: Let's try running along rooftops and scaling walls.
Calligraphy: What? Xie Peizong's paintings and calligraphy sell for a fortune. I'll make dozens, even hundreds of them! I need money!
Recently, the Heir of Marquis Ping'an has been plagued by strange dreams. In them, he meets, understands, and falls in love with a woman. She becomes his wife, and the two are deeply devoted to each other, utterly inseparable. She is so gentle and tender, and he cherishes her dearly.
In reality, she has already become the second wife of that sixty-something-year-old, decrepit Earl of Yongyi!
