After my husband and his mistress died together for love, he left me with their illegitimate son. My mother-in-law and the clan pressured me to take the child in, so I raised him with all my heart. Years later, the boy passed the imperial exams at the top of his class and rode through the streets in triumph, basking in glory. Then my husband and his mistress suddenly returned!
“Son, I’m your real father, and this is your real mother. This woman kept our family apart for so many years!”
My husband smugly tossed me a divorce letter. “Wretched woman, you sure got a good deal. You raised my genius son for years!”
I smiled coldly. Fool. We’ll see who really got played.
