The Villainous Widow Sister-in-Law in an Imperial Exam Novel

Sang Wan transmigrated into an imperial-examination novel, where her original self was the male lead's wicked widowed sister-in-law.

On their wedding day, her husband was forced to labor on the Great Wall, where he fell ill and died.

Unable to bear the loneliness, the original owner seduced a poor scholar from her village, dreaming of becoming an official's wife one day.

She gave him all the household's food, clothing, and money meant to support the male lead's studies. She caused the male lead's younger brother to lose a leg and sold his little sister to human traffickers.

The male lead hated her to the core and divorced her on behalf of his deceased elder brother.

From then on, he rose rapidly through the ranks, becoming a treacherous minister by any means necessary.

The original owner, meanwhile, died silently on a rainy night.

On the night Sang Wan arrived, she was by the river, tugging at the scholar and trying to press money into his hands. The male lead, her younger brother-in-law, caught them in the act.

She immediately slapped the scholar and burst into tears. “Give up! I'd rather jump into the river than give you the money. Don't think you can threaten me again.”

The scholar was utterly confused.

The male lead sneered, clearly thinking she was putting on an act.

.

Song Huaizhi despised his widowed sister-in-law. But ever since he caught her meeting the scholar in secret, she seemed like a different person.

She not only began looking after the three siblings, but also came up with new delicacies every day to feed the family and support his studies.

Song Huaizhi at first: What is this woman plotting now?

Song Huaizhi later, kneeling before his deceased elder brother's grave, eyes red: “Brother, don't worry. I'll take good care of Sister-in-law.”

After achieving fame and success, he presented his sister-in-law with the title of First-Rank Honored Lady, only to hear her say, “Huh? Shouldn't I be a Grand Madam?”

Song Huaizhi's face darkened. He cornered her against the wall and said hoarsely, “Don't even think about being my sister-in-law for the rest of your life!”
