Back to Spring: This Wretched Code of Womanly Virtue Won't Hold Me Back

[Reborn & Not a Female-Centered Story] Zhou Yunruo's husband often pointed at her and said, "You're past your prime and don't even know it. You should be grateful I haven't cast you aside."

He seemed to have forgotten that, back then, he had nearly risked his life to marry her.

Later, he became a great general and met the love of his life. He took his sweetheart as a secondary wife, and the two of them flaunted their love in front of Zhou Yunruo for thirty years.

When Zhou Yunruo was seventy, he finally died. From her prime as a young woman to her years as a white-haired old lady, she suffered every hardship a woman in the inner household could face. When she was frail and withered, even her own son drove her out. As if her heart were being carved out, she died with no one by her side.

When she opened her eyes again, the withered tree had bloomed anew: Zhou Yunruo had returned to her youthful years.

Her parents-in-law disliked her, so she stopped serving them.

Her son was unfilial, a bitter debt from her previous life, so she let him be.

First he plotted to win her, then he plotted to win her heart.

Later still, her faithless former husband, having recovered the memories of his previous life, came looking for her with a knife in hand. Eyes bloodshot, he roared at the top scholar, "Give her back to me!"
