CompletedIn her previous life, Wen Yan married into the Marquis's estate for over a decade. Upwards, she helped her mother-in-law defeat concubines and regain control of the household. Downwards, she helped her husband pass the imperial examination, enter officialdom, and gain merits, yet she was rewarded with a cup of poisonous wine.
Before dying, her legitimate sister said: "Good sister, thank you for building such a large family fortune for my son and me!" In this life, she and her legitimate sister are reborn simultaneously.
Her legitimate sister clamors for a marriage switch, wanting to be with the world's son "from beginning to end, flying together, sharing glory." Of course, Wen Yan fulfills her wish!
She turns around and marries a sickly, poor scholar, befriends a great Confucian, is admired by painting masters, and her business flourishes. Moreover, the highly respected old Princess provides protection and guidance.
Is her legitimate sister jealous? Is her ex-husband regretful? They've all been reborn, who still wants to engage in poverty alleviation?
It's just that... her supposed short-lived husband, who should have died early, is not only alive and kicking but also made her a zhuangyuan's (top scholar's) wife!
Wen Yan asks: "You said my short-lived husband dying would mean I'd be a widow, free to travel, sightsee, eat, drink, and play?" Her short-lived husband takes her hand with his distinctly muscular arm: "My wife, how can mountains and rivers be as fun as your husband?"
