The Legitimate Daughter-in-law

In Bianjing, powerful nobles abounded. As the legitimate eldest daughter-in-law of the Valiant Marquis Residence, a family of immense prestige among the powerful, Xie Rongying was a paragon of womanly virtues, excelling in morality, speech, appearance, and work.

One month after her marriage, her husband led an army to battle. Half a year later, he died on the battlefield, his body wrapped in horsehide. From then on, she was confined to a life of solitude, devoted to Buddha, with a chastity archway serving as a lifelong shackles.

Before her death, she seemingly saw her husband, who had died on the battlefield decades ago, living a long life with someone else, surrounded by children and grandchildren. In this life, she looked at her husband kneeling before her. She smiled, "You beg me to spare you?"

A truly cunning strong person kills without drawing blood. From a widow confined to the inner chambers for a lifetime, she rose to become the esteemed and powerful Xie clan head. She relied not only on her schemes but also on her absolute ruthlessness! "I want to see your Valiant Marquis Residence become a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood; only then will my lifelong machinations not be in vain."
