Chu Ruoyan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chu's household, saw her betrothed's family perish in battle—all except her fiancé, who survived but was left crippled.

Everyone assumed the engagement would be called off, yet the Chu family's heiress proceeded with the wedding as scheduled, uttering just two words: "I consent."

No one knew Chu Ruoyan had suffered a nightmare.

In the dream, she broke off her engagement with Yan Zheng. Three years later, while being courted by the heir of Pingjing Marquisate, rebel forces stormed the capital.

The city became a blood-soaked hellscape. Atop the walls stood the rebel leader—none other than Yan Zheng, who had just been appointed Chief Grand Councilor!

He beheaded her prospective groom, slaughtered the entire Pingjing Marquisate household, then subjected her pleading father to relentless humiliation until the old man leaped to his death from the city walls.

Upon waking, Chu Ruoyan made two immediate decisions:

Marry him. Then kill him.

Fate proved unpredictable. While the second resolution remained unfulfilled, she somehow became the most revered woman in the realm.

Xu Qiu traveled to the body of a tragic son-in-law.

His wife was missing, his aunt despised him, his mother-in-law spitted on him, and even dogs shook their heads when they saw him.

But from now on, they could all hear Xu Qiu's inner voice.

[Qin Jianjia, a nominal wife, a female general of the dynasty, but unfortunately she was dismissed soon and ended up being beheaded]

Qin Jianjia, upon hearing this, stared at her husband Xu Qiu.

[Qin Yumo, my wife's younger sister, was cheated of money and sex soon, and finally committed suicide because of humiliation due to her family's involvement.]

After hearing this, Qin Yumo dropped the osmanthus cake in his hand, his face full of astonishment.

[My mother-in-law was framed and slandered, her reputation was greatly damaged, and she died by hitting the wall to prove her innocence. She was really a family of loyal heroes, and the whole family was well-organized]

My mother-in-law froze in place.

...

Many years later.

The Sixth Princess An Lan, "Even if he is a son-in-law, the one I choose is mine!"

Crescent Pavilion Master You Qin Hyun-ya: "I have planned to give up my throne to him. I am willing to assist him. He is my hope."

Qin Jianjia: "Ah... then who am I?"

Soon, Xu Qiu suddenly realized that he, who was originally despised by dogs, suddenly became so popular. This plot seems to be wrong?
