A Widow’s Hard Lot: The Chaste Young Officer Begs Me to Remarry Him

In Shen Wang's eyes, his sister-in-law was a gold-digger. His older brother was in poor health, so she had married into the family to bring him good fortune, and she had demanded a hefty bride price.

Shen Wang was a soldier and didn't know the whole story. All he knew was that his brother had paid a fortune to bring home a wife, only to die before they could even register their marriage. And yet somehow, this sister-in-law had charmed his parents so thoroughly that she'd naturally stayed on with the family.

“A gold-digger like you brings nothing but bad luck to whoever marries you!”

She moved out and threw herself into building a career. But she never expected her brother-in-law to have one luxurious piece of furniture after another carried into her little courtyard. Stunned, she watched until her brother-in-law, dressed in his military uniform, walked in and handed her a bankbook.
