[Devoted Couple + Ex-Husband Regrets Too Late + Punishing the Scum]
In her previous life, Jiang Shuyao, the matriarch of a marquis's household, trusted the wrong man, drained her dowry, and ultimately brought about her family's downfall, dying a tragic death in a woodshed.
The night she is reborn, she forms an alliance with the scoundrel's powerful elder brother and vows to bring down the marquis's household.
As she fights on, her enemies from her past life one by one get what they deserve, but Jiang Shuyao discovers she is pregnant.
Just as she begins to fall for him, the child's father dies!
Jiang Shuyao looks at her pregnant belly and frets...
Who could have guessed that the dead man would come back to life, and that the powerful official she loves would turn out to be the crown prince?
After learning the truth, Jiang Shuyao slaps the handsome, dignified man before her.
“You deceived me so cruelly, and you still expect me to be with you?”
Taking advantage of the chaos, she fakes her death in front of him.
Later, she hears that the crown prince has gone mad, scouring the land, praying to gods and seeking the Way, and killing anyone who stands in his way.
At last, he corners the woman he loves, eyes red, and begs humbly: “Yaoyao, for the sake of our child, give me one more chance!”
It looks good. The further back you go, the better it looks.
The characters are great, I like the pull between the male and female protagonists, and some of the plots are quite funny.
