In her previous life, Xie Shu believed her mother-in-law and husband.
She thought Princess Jinghe had turned to hatred out of love and slaughtered the entire marquis household,
and that only by asking to be divorced could she save her husband's family.
She never knew it had all been the marquis household's scheme.
They had simply had no more use for her, while coveting imperial power.
And the life-saving favor that had bound Xie Shu for her entire life
was in truth the grudge of her family's extermination.
All of it
was because she had been too foolish!
Reborn,
Xie Shu swears to trample the marquis household underfoot.
They want to force her to ask for a divorce? She refuses.
They pretend to be kind and offer her a separation? She won't accept.
How ridiculous. Is there anything in this world more blissful than widowhood?
In this life,
she will avenge the Xie family!
She will claim the marquis title, too!
Her husband?
Heh. She'll send him to his grave with her own hands!
Wait, what happened to the laws of Great Yan?
Are widows required to remarry, too?
Xie Shu stares in a daze at the suitors' procession outside, on the verge of breaking into a fight.
Fine, then she'll take a live-in husband!
