Song Chuyu had always believed she and Kang Rui were a deeply devoted couple and that no one could ever come between them.
As it turned out, that “no one” had been living comfortably by their side all along, under the guise of his “eldest sister-in-law.”
After her rebirth, Song Chuyu didn’t spare a single glance for Kang Rui as he paraded through the streets on horseback, much less would she ever marry him again.

When Kang Rui awoke, he found himself back in the poverty-stricken days of his youth. Having already reached the pinnacle of power, he was momentarily unaccustomed to the drafty windows of his past. However, remembering that the Princess had defied all opposition to marry him at this very time in his previous life, he resolved to treat the delicate her even better.
The matter of his “eldest sister-in-law” had to be completely suppressed, never letting the petty her find out. More importantly, in his official career, those who had placed obstacles in his path would now tremble. In the future, he was destined to rise even higher!

Lin Qingyuan had been plagued by misfortune since childhood. His personality was withdrawn, cynical, and resentful. Every time he put in a hundred times the effort, he would not necessarily reap even a sliver of reward. Then one day, the Anguo County Princess proposed marriage to him.
He hesitated for only a breath before agreeing. A status that brought him silver even while lying down? He’d have to be insane to refuse.

The statuses of Lin Qingyuan and Kang Rui were reversed. Lin Qingyuan, who once had to scheme endlessly just to take a single step forward, became the son-in-law of the Anguo Duke Mansion, with power and position readily within his grasp.
Kang Rui, who had enjoyed a smooth-sailing life, lost his status as the son-in-law of the Anguo Duke Mansion. He now found it immensely difficult to even improve his living conditions, let alone realize his grand ambitions.

Song Chuyu only wished to bring justice to the hero who had saved her from the fate of a stateless citizen. She hoped that he, who had exhausted his mind and body to save the Great Xia from peril in her past life, could live in peace and joy. She hoped that he, who had schemed meticulously to protect the people of a region, would not end up branded as a villain of monstrous crimes and die an early death.
As it turned out, she had forgotten that no matter where he was, his brilliance could never be dimmed.
