Shen Yuetang returns reborn, just as her mother-in-law is pressuring her to marry her lover, so the two can keep their affair under wraps.
In her previous life, Shen Yuetang was forced into another marriage and died horribly. Her two children were also killed young. Her first husband faked his death and secretly lived the high life by marrying into a powerful family, while her wicked mother-in-law enjoyed a peaceful old age.
Why should they get away with it!
In this life, she decisively refuses the marriage and exposes their affair. Not only does she take satisfying revenge using the very methods they used to kill her in her previous life, she also remarries in a grand ceremony with her children in tow, to the person her first husband admires most: the famous God of War, a great general!
He's not only her first husband's older brother, he's also his direct superior!
Her first husband regrets it and comes crawling back, begging to get back together?
Too late!
Her mother-in-law teams up with the clan to come make trouble?
They're asking for it!
They used to take advantage of her as a helpless widow with young children. Now her husband is the blade, and she is its edge. She will take revenge for the blood feud from her previous life and protect her children as they grow!
She strikes, and the God of War hands her the blade.
She kills, and the God of War finishes them off.
Her hands are stained with blood, and the God of War wipes them clean himself.
She asks nervously, "Will you think I'm cruel too, husband?"
The God of War is about to answer when a dagger presses against his upper thigh. "Mo Xuanling, you bastard! Weren't you going to bundle me off to Prince Zheng's bed? Didn't you say I was like a real man to you, and that you treated me like a brother? Come on, let's settle the score!"
