After She Strangled Me to Death, Mother Regretted It

The year my father died on the battlefield, I donned armor and fought my way through the enemy lines. My mother was weak, and my little brother was still a child. I won countless military honors to earn the respect of outsiders, so no one would dare look down on the Shen family or bully the two of them. People said the Shen family owed everything to me. But on the day Shen Jue Ming married a noblewoman, my mother gave me a bowl of poisoned wine that tore through my insides, and I died in agony. Only after my death did I learn that his bride disliked having a woman as rough and bloodstained as me in the household. For the sake of her son’s happiness, my mother had taken my life. How foolish of her. Without me, the Shen family would have no future to speak of.
