Chapter

It was late autumn, and the sky was blue. The yellowish petals under a sweet osmanthus danced in the breeze, which became beautiful scenery. 

A pretty girl in blue sat under the sweet osmanthus quietly. She looked up at the sky with her hands on the wooden round table. Her gaze landed somewhere far away in the sky, and the falling petals failed to distract her at all. 

"Duchess ... Duchess ... Duke Rong..." Gasping, a maid, who was about 18 years old with delicate features, ran over and stopped in front of the girl. 

Frowning, the girl shot a displeased glance at the maid and asked, "What's the matter?"

The maid calmed down and replied, "Duke Rong ... He, he is dying ... Duchess, you ... you had better..."

She wanted her mistress to visit Duke Rong but didn't dare say so. She began to serve her mistress before this marriage and knew how much her mistress had suffered for this marriage. However, that dying man was the husband of her mistress!

The girl knitted her brows deeply. Five days ago, she woke up in the body of Duchess Rong, the wife of Duke Rong in the Beichen Empire. Before this, she had been a girl in the 21st century. 

She, to be specific, her soul came from the 21st century. She had been the youngest professor in a famous medical research center. An experimental accident led to an explosion in her laboratory, and then her soul woke up here. Meanwhile, she got all memories belonging to Duchess Rong, the previous owner of this body. 

Duchess Rong was called Chu Xin, a daughter of a minister, who was in charge of personnel management for this empire, and a niece of Imperial Concubine. More than that, she was a talented girl. Given such noble and influential background, she had been supposed to marry the royal family, but...

An imperial edict ruined her life, and Duchess Rong became a sacrifice for politics. 

She married the feeble Duke Rong, whose name was Yu Wenmo, at her fifteen years old. Wenmo, who was handsome, learned, and refined, inherited the title of nobility at his twenty. 

His little brother, Yu Wenyi, was the valiant and powerful General Zhenbei. In short, the Yu family was influential in the empire.

However, a horse was startled in a horse racing and unseated Wenmo. After that, Wenmo lost his legs and funked his heart.

Gradually, this once vigorous young man became feeble and sick. His mother worried about him and pleaded with the emperor to arrange a marriage, wishing that Wenmo would have his offspring before he died. 

It was known to all that Duke Rong would die soon, so no one wanted to marry him. Unexpectedly, Imperial Concubine designated Chu Xin to marry Duke Rong.

Chu Xin was heartbroken by this arrangement. After the wedding, she was bad to her new family and didn't assume her role as a mistress. She, still a virgin, could remarry after Duke Rong died. Therefore, she prayed for the death of her husband days and nights.

Hatred and despair accumulated in the past three years killed Duchess Rong, and she got this body. 

Thanks to those rare medical herbs, Duke Rong didn't die yet but was getting worse. The maid, Zilan, just came to report the new update. 

"Alas! I need this body, and he is my husband nominally. I had better check him." She thought.

Pondering, Chu Xin got up and followed Zilan to where Duke Rong was. 

Chu Xin and Wenmo lived in different compounds. Duchess Rong had chosen to live in South Court, furthest away from where Wenmo lived, for her resentment to the Yu family. Wenmo lived in East Court. On the way, Xin reflected on the past of Duchess Rong.

Duchess Rong had lived in the Yu family for three years but didn't know much about this architectural complex. After the resurrection, Xin took a stroll around this complex. This was her first time, possibly the last time, to see Duke Rong.
