Being a second wife is rather like learning to perfect a set of aerial maneuvers. There are seriously complicated stunts involved: trapezing around the first wife, learning when to appear and disappear at exactly the right moments, tolerating your mother in law, enduring the concubines, and getting the husband in your bed. No one expects to be a second wife. No one does.

Synopsis: In her past life, Yun Chu assisted her husband, raised the illegitimate children, and helped the Xie family rise to prominence. In the end, it led to the entire Yun family being executed, and the child she raised with her own hands poisoned her with toxic wine! Once the poison entered her system, she opened her eyes again, returning to when she was twenty years old. In front of her stood a row of children from the Xie family, each calling her mother with affection. These were the culprits who had destroyed the Yun family, and she would not spare a single one! Her eldest son excelled in academics? Then she would cut off his path to an official career! Her second son loved martial arts? Then she would ensure he could never enter the army! Her eldest daughter sought power and influence? Then she would make sure she married a noble, only to live a life of widowhood! Her youngest son was a good-for-nothing? Then she would let him perish on his own! On the path of revenge, Yun Chu would show no mercy! But then- "Mother!" "You are our mother!" Two little glutinous rice dumplings surrounded her, snuggling into her arms. A man stood before her: "I've raised them for four years, now it's your turn."
