Help! The Chief Minister’s Sweetheart Is a Black Widow

[Original title: The Female Litigator from a Humble Family] A top lawyer of the 21st century, Hua Rujin, suddenly dies and transmigrates to ancient times.

After spending her whole life being pushed to the limit, she had hoped to live quietly as a carefree slacker this time. Reality, however, gave her a harsh slap in the face.

She has barely transmigrated when she is framed for supposedly causing her new husband’s death, turning her into a young widow. And now they are forcing her to die for him.

Her elders want money, while the county magistrate wants a political achievement. They all tell her, “Go on and die. Once you’re dead, we’ll build you a grand chastity archway.”

A crooked lawyer says, “A woman is just like a dog. She should be good to whoever feeds her. At home she obeys her father, and after marriage she obeys her husband. If her husband wants her dead, then dead she must be.”

Hua Rujin is utterly baffled. “I don’t even know how tall that so-called husband of mine was, or what he looked like, and now I’m supposed to be a devoted pair of lovers with him in the afterlife? Why should I?”

She has always believed one thing: Equality isn’t granted by heaven. Fairness is something you have to fight for.

If this world is unjust, then she’ll tear it down.

With her silver tongue, she travels far and wide, braving mountains and rivers, defying heaven and earth. She’ll even skin a ghost alive.
