[The Next World: The First Wife in a Second Wife Story]

The world Jiang Tian traveled to this time was an ancient world.

In many sweet romance novels about family feuds, there are always some female protagonists who are second wives.

Generally speaking, their elder sister, as the legitimate daughter, would marry the male protagonist of a prominent position first. Unfortunately, she was short-lived and would usually die of serious illness after leaving behind her child.

In order to raise his children well and prevent them from being harmed by outsiders, the male protagonist chooses to marry his first wife's illegitimate younger sister as his second wife, who will then become the mistress of the house and raise the children.

These second wives are generally not interested in the male lead and prefer to be lazy and do nothing, but they also demonstrate extraordinary abilities in various affairs, helping the male lead manage the household affairs in an orderly manner.

The male protagonist usually has no feelings for his second wife, only regarding her as a wife who can take care of the children.

But later, he becomes attracted to the female lead's quirky and intelligent nature, gradually takes her to heart, and eventually falls in love with her.

These kinds of stories usually end happily—the male and female protagonists have a new son, and the male protagonist discovers that the child born to the female protagonist is very intelligent, while the child from the first wife, due to the lack of love from his biological mother, is either dull or twisted, and in short, unworthy to take the male protagonist's place.

However, even if the female lead cannot inherit the male lead's position, her children from the first wife will generally have a good future, which is used to show the female lead's kindness and benevolence.

In conclusion, the male and female protagonists and their children lived happily together, sharing their joy.

As for the original wife, the male protagonist would only mention her briefly with a few words of lament.

The male protagonist generally only feels responsibility and respect for his previous wives, not love or not.

The male lead is the one who truly falls in love with the female lead and wants to stay with her forever.

The original wife was merely a catalyst for the female lead to marry the male lead; if the original wife hadn't died, how could the male and female leads have had any chance to meet?

In every story like this, the original wife is said to have died at the beginning, giving space for the male and female protagonists to get to know each other.

Jiang Tian has transmigrated into the body of the original wife, a background character in a novel about a second wife.

Unfortunately, she did not die of natural causes, but was murdered.

In this world, Jiang Tian is the daughter of a prominent family who is a third-rank civil official.

For the purpose of a political marriage, she married the heir of the Duke's mansion.

Because Jiang Tian's father held considerable prestige in the imperial court, the two families could be considered a good match.

From a young age, Jiang Tian was taught to be incredibly gentle, virtuous, and kind-hearted.

She was literate and skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, making her a qualified noblewoman.

After marrying the heir of the Duke's mansion, just as described in those novels, Jiang Tian and her husband treated each other with respect and worked hard every day for hundreds of people.

She was the proper wife of the Crown Prince, and the rightful mistress of the house.

However, the couple's relationship was just so-so.
