(A second betrayal + both leads reborn + the male lead's long road to winning back his wife.)
On her wedding day, Tang Shu was “caught in bed” with another man by her scumbag groom. He turned around and married his childhood sweetheart, while Tang Shu was driven out of the heir's residence and condemned by everyone.
When she had lost all hope, the Jade-Faced Buddha, the Third Prince, draped his kasaya over her disheveled body. He broke his vows, returned to secular life, and knelt in the rain for three days until he won an imperial marriage decree. He then came with an eight-person bridal sedan to marry Tang Shu, giving her all the respect she deserved.
Just when Tang Shu was filled with gratitude, Huo Lingchen, who had returned to secular life and married her less than six months earlier, donned his armor and went off to war. On the day he returned victorious, Tang Shu was seized by an enemy general, and only then did she learn that the man she had been so grateful to, Huo Lingchen, was the true culprit behind all her suffering.
Utterly despairing, Tang Shu jumped off a cliff with the enemy general, taking him with her. But she was reborn, back on her wedding night with the scumbag heir.
They want to set her up to be “caught in bed”? First, she'll arrange for the scumbag and his lover to put on a sex show in front of everyone, then scatter her ex-husband's entire family's ashes to the wind!
And Huo Lingchen, who married her for that shameless woman? Ha! She'll find a few beautiful women to sneak into the ascetic monk's room and make him break his vows!
In this new life, she slaughters her enemies outside and plays the obedient daughter at home. When her parents arrange a new match for her, she gladly agrees. She'll marry anyone, as long as it's not Huo Lingchen!
One day,
Huo Lingchen held her close, fighting back tears as he asked cautiously, “Shushu, you said you'd marry anyone. Why can't it still be me?”
