Synopsis: Right after she married, her husband's family became embroiled in a succession struggle. Her father-in-law was beheaded, and the entire family was exiled. Her newlywed husband died in prison, yet she was forced to remarry her younger brother-in-law in a desolate land. When her husband's family finally managed to turn their fortunes around, she was mercilessly "killed by illness" to cover up past disgraces. The above describes the tragic life of the original host.
Gu Wan, who had just transmigrated, found herself in prison, implicated and awaiting exile. Gu Wan: "..." The outlook was so bleak... Could she still try to save something?
Gu Wan pried off the ruby earring hidden in her messy bun and thought, perhaps she could start by saving that husband, who was supposedly the most dashing and spirited youth in Wuling, but was actually on the verge of dying.
...In the end, Gu Wan summarized that she had probably saved a human-shaped cheat. Then, during the continuous period of adapting to this cheat, she was unknowingly led by him to reach the pinnacle of life. Also, without realizing it, she took down the original female lead's unattainable and painful white moonlight.
① The forced "death by illness" was due to the new emperor's hint, and the entire family was wiped out together; it wasn't the husband's family targeting the original host. (Xie Ci, in his previous life, was unaware of this.)
