Why Has My Late Husband Come Back from the Dead?

Lu Wu knew she was beautiful. She'd used her looks to marry the county magistrate, hoping he'd rise in rank and make a fortune so she could live in splendor and never have to put up with anyone's sour looks again.

After they married, all he did was fool around with her. He had no interest in getting ahead.

"If you keep this up all day, how will you support me in the future?"

The man's rough hand gripped her waist. He moved, but didn't answer.

Lu Wu urged him to strive for success every day, waiting for him to come to his senses. Who could have guessed he'd suddenly die, leaving her a young widow?

There was no way she was going to mourn him for the rest of her life. While packing her belongings and looking for a way out, she was mistaken for a princess.

The general in charge pointed to the jade pendant she'd stolen from her late husband, saying it was the one the emperor had bestowed upon the princess when she was born.

From then on, Lu Wu became Princess Ji Wu and enjoyed a life of wealth and luxury, happier than she'd been as the county magistrate's wife.

Later, the emperor planned to arrange a marriage for her. The capital was full of exceptional young men, and Lu Wu was dazzled by the choices. In the end, she selected the talented and handsome heir to the Marquis of Pingnan.

Just after the engagement was settled, the emperor found his crown prince, who had been living among the common folk.

When Lu Wu saw that familiar face, she went deathly pale.

"A Wu, this is your brother."

The man stared at her with an audacious, unreadable gaze and called her his little sister A Wu.

But Lu Wu didn't dare call him Crown Prince Brother.

When he woke her in the middle of the night, she panicked and was about to call for help. He threatened her:

"Go ahead and shout. Let them find out that Princess Ji Wu is having an affair with the crown prince, and that she's a fake princess, too."

Lu Wu was so frightened she burst into tears.

After days of fear and anxiety, her wedding day finally arrived.

The door creaked open. Someone entered and lifted her veil.

Lu Wu raised her face with a smile, which instantly turned to terror.

From then on, the palace lost Princess Ji Wu, and the Eastern Palace gained a crown princess.

A palace maid once saw the crown princess nestled in the crown prince's arms, lips slightly parted and cheeks flushed, looking utterly bewitching.

The palace maids who served her all knew that the crown princess cried during the day and at night, too.

Lu Wu cried because she was worn out by his insatiable demands.

"Are you satisfied with your position as crown princess, A Wu?" He held down the foot she'd kicked at him. His calloused hand gripped her pale ankle, rubbing it until it reddened.

"Or is there something else you want, A Wu? I'll find it for you."

Lu Wu bit her lip, angry and annoyed. "I want you to stay away from me!"
