Three Years Without a Child? She Remarries a Barren General and Has Three Babies

Qing He is known throughout the village as a good girl. Hardworking and capable, warmhearted and kind, she is also an excellent embroiderer. When she came of age to marry, matchmakers practically wore down her doorstep! In the end, she chose Tao Zicheng, a promising young scholar.

After they married, her husband was gentle and considerate. She thought their happy life would go on forever, but after three years, she still hadn't conceived. A doctor even declared that she could never have children.

From then on, her mother-in-law despised her, while the villagers pitied and mocked her. Her life hit rock bottom, and the once cheerful, outgoing girl became timid and withdrawn.

Then, on the Ghost Festival, she injured her head and unexpectedly gained the ability to see words above people's heads, revealing each person's secrets.

Only then did she realize that she wasn't unlucky. She had simply fallen in with a pack of beasts.

Qing He was consumed by hatred, but kept it hidden. She secretly exposed her father-in-law's affair, ruined her mother-in-law's years-long scheme to switch babies, and revealed the secret her husband had gone to such lengths to conceal, leaving him disgraced.

Only after she had brought the Tao family to a miserable end did she choose to divorce.

Qing He had no desire to marry again, but after the war, the court needed to increase the population. For the sake of his own record, the county magistrate intended to force divorced women and widows in the county into arranged marriages.

To escape this fate, she approached Lu Zheng, a tall man who had returned from the border at the end of the previous year.

When Lu Zheng was young, he secretly liked a girl.

After gritting his teeth and climbing siege ladders again and again, earning the title of general, he returned home with a heart full of trepidation, only to find that the girl had married someone else.

...Perhaps it was for the best. How could a muddy mess like him be worthy of the moon?

Later, the girl got divorced.

She pressed a box of silver into his hands. "Could I ask you for a favor? Would you pretend to marry me...?"
