The Herb-Scented Young Widow: Her Husband, Killed in Battle, Has Returned

In a single twist of fate, Liu Susu, the only daughter of a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, transmigrated and became a young widow in Ning Tong Village. At home, her mother-in-law bullied her; outside, thugs coveted her. Just as she found herself beset on all sides, the husband she’d been told died in battle returned. With a cold, steely gaze and a sword in hand, the man’s voice rang out like jade: “So this is how you’ve been treating my wife while I was away?”

*The General Shen family’s poor wife has come to the city. They say she’s plain-looking and easy to bully, and everyone is waiting to see her make a fool of herself. But who could have guessed that, after Mrs. Shen arrived, nobles and royals would flock to the gates of the Shen residence, all hoping to catch a glimpse of her?

The proud and aloof Minister Yu bowed his head and pleaded, “Mrs. Shen, please save us. My mother will only eat food you’ve made.”

The dignified and taciturn Prince Mu looked distraught. “If you can save my beloved consort, I’m willing to give you my entire fortune.”

Rumor had it that the emperor had once offered her half his empire, only for Mrs. Shen to politely decline: “My husband gets jealous easily, so I must hurry home.”
