My Wife Is So Charming

A Wife of Many Charms

In her previous life, Wei Zhen was a favorite topic of gossip among Kyoto’s nobility. Everyone said she was a vixen reborn, skilled at bewitching men. Even Lu Jius, a man of lofty character and a reputation for virtue, had spoiled his concubine and neglected his wife for her, leaving his first wife in a convent without a care. After his wife died, he immediately made Wei Zhen his legal wife.

But only Wei Zhen knew that Lu Jius did not love her at all. He treated her so well only because she resembled the woman he loved.

Wei Zhen died. A bowl of white rice porridge broke her heart, and she had no idea who had poisoned it. There were too many people who wanted her dead.

Before she died, she saw Lu Jius’s distraught, anguished expression as he called out “Jin’er” over and over.

She felt a little sad. Her name wasn’t Jin’er. She was Wei Zhen.

When Wei Zhen opened her eyes again, she found herself in the body of a young wife who had quarreled with her husband right after their wedding. They had the same name, and her husband was an unloved adopted son of the third branch of the family, with a father who didn’t care for him, a mother who didn’t love him, and a speech impediment...

Wei Zhen refused to accept her fate. After resting for a few days, she carried a bowl of hot soup to the study to find him, hoping to mend their relationship.

As she slowly pushed open the door and coyly raised her head to look at him, she never expected to meet a face she knew all too well.

This... wasn’t this Shen Yi, the man who had openly condemned Lu Jius in court for spoiling his concubine and neglecting his wife, and for being heartless and disloyal?

Whenever he saw her, he looked at her with contempt, his eyes and nose screwed up in disgust.

But she wouldn’t hold it against him, because he had a terrible fate. After serving as a supervisor in the borderlands for two years, he was accused of treason and eventually died there a miserable death. When his coffin was sent back to Kyoto, no one claimed it, and no one spoke up for him. In the end, his body was left exposed in the wilderness.

Meng Fu’s heart sank. She had finally gotten away from Lu Jius, only to end up with Shen Yi.

Her life really was too miserable.
