The original owner was a woman born and raised in a matriarchal society.

She was a compulsive gambler, her family was destitute, yet she had seven husbands.

These seven husbands were either blind, mute, lame, or unattractive, and no one wanted them.

According to the original owner's idea, being unattractive would make it safer to go out and earn money, and would not attract gossip.

In matriarchal societies, there is a rule that men who are not married by the age of twenty will face punishment.

The penalties are divided into two types: one is a fine, and if enough fines are paid, the penalty can be delayed for another three years.

If you have no money, you will be taken to a military camp at the border and randomly assigned to a woman there.

The original owner of this body was a deputy general stationed at the border. These seven husbands were obtained by her directly by taking advantage of her status.

She didn't favor these husbands she had acquired. Instead, she arranged for them to work in various places to earn money for her, such as washing dishes, doing laundry, or doing odd jobs.

In short, as long as they could make money openly and honestly, the original owner would let them do it.

With these seven husbands earning money, the original owner gambled every single day.

Later, the original owner met the Seventh Prince from Huadu. He was like someone who was etched into her heart, and she fell in love with him at first sight.

However, the Seventh Prince disliked the original owner because she not only had seven husbands, but also had a bad reputation.

The original owner quit gambling for the sake of the seventh prince, and even divorced all seven of her husbands.

The Seventh Prince also said that since the original owner's status was not high, he should work hard and become a great general before asking the Empress to marry him.

Without hesitation, the original owner agreed, and she continued to fight bravely on the battlefield.

Ten years later, the original owner of the body rose from a deputy general to a great general.

As a result, while she was left with a host of injuries and illnesses, the Seventh Prince got married in Huadu.

After the Seventh Prince got married, he sent assassins to kill the original owner of the body. The original owner was unable to escape and was successfully ambushed.

When the original owner was critically injured, she was saved by her seven former husbands.

However, the calamity brought by the original owner also caused the deaths of her seven husbands.

The assassins sent by the Seventh Prince piled up firewood and poured strong liquor outside the house when the original owner and her seven husbands were inside.

The fire that took the original owner's life burned for a long time.

Ahri opened her eyes and saw a charred corpse.

The charred corpse moved its mouth, saying, "If you can, please help me protect these seven people."

After saying this, the original owner turned to ashes.

Ah Li looked at the background of this world. The Seventh Prince was the male protagonist of this world, and the female protagonist was the person the Seventh Prince married. The original owner of this body was just a supporting female character.

The Seventh Prince was just teasing the original owner of this body. He despised women who didn't treat men like human beings, and everything the original owner did touched the Seventh Prince's sore spots.

From the beginning, the Seventh Prince wanted this person dead, but later he found that his seven husbands were still foolishly attached to this person's affection, so he directly ordered the assassins to kill them all.

Those seven husbands weren't without their resentment towards the original owner; it was only because of the original owner that they were able to live freely here.

Because the original owner was a deputy general, others didn't dare to bully them and were quite polite to them. Also, because the original owner was addicted to gambling, some people pitied them.

Sometimes they even helped them by hiding their wages from the original owner.

The original owner never beat or scolded them, except for making them give her money to gamble.

Ahri silently counted on her fingers. There are seven husbands in this world. Should she protect them all and keep them all by her side?

Just then, Ahri heard a shout in her ear, "Lieutenant, are you still playing or not?"

"The lieutenant has probably lost all his money and is too scared to gamble anymore!"

"What are you saying? Even if you lose everything, the lieutenant can still go back and get his seven husbands to collect the money!"

Ahri, recalling the original owner's appearance, leaned on the table with one hand and said nonchalantly, "I still have money. I've lost too much, haven't I? I'll take a break."

"Lieutenant, shall we still come?"

Someone looked in front of Ahri.

Ahri had only three copper coins left.

Ah Li didn't care at all. Instead, she threw all three coins onto the small bet side, saying, "I only have three coins left, so I'll bet on small."

The people who set up the gambling table looked at each other and then started shaking the dice.

It didn't require much skill; I just shook the dice cup a couple of times, put it on the table, and started playing.

"It really is small!"

Someone shouted this, and the others echoed, "Lieutenant, you can win with just three coins, amazing!"

"It's all thanks to the care of my sisters, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to win. I lost terribly just now."

Ah Li put the money he won into his purse, then took another ten coins and continued to bet on small.

Sometimes, Ahri will even bet big.

However, instead of putting the money he won on the table, Ahri put it into his own money bag.

Every time they played the game of Big or Small, Ah Li would take out ten coins and place them on either the Big or Small side.

Therefore, nobody knows exactly how much Ahri won.

After some time, Ah Li felt that her money bag was almost full, so she stood up and said, "I'm not coming anymore, it's too late, I'm going home now."

"Oh, Lieutenant, let's go again. Anyway, your husbands won't care about you."

"Go away, it's getting dark, and I'm hungry. I want to go back and drink and eat meat!"

Ahri straightened her clothes and left.

This casino isn't big; it's just inside a small courtyard.

Stepping out of the courtyard, there are stalls selling roast chicken, roast duck, and other braised meats not far away.
