Good Ending: She Swears She Will Not Let Him Die!

The Du family’s daughter had only been married for three months when her husband was ordered by the emperor to go to war. From then on, they spent more time apart than together.

Five years later, news arrived from the battlefield—her husband had died, his body returned wrapped in horsehide.

Heartbroken, she spent the rest of her life mourning him. She adopted a child from the clan, lived quietly with prayers and incense, and was honored with a memorial arch for her loyalty and chastity. To others, it was a symbol of glory.

To her, it was a cage.

Only in her old age did she discover the truth—her husband's death had never been an accident. It had been a conspiracy. But by then, the people responsible were gone, and there was no one left to take revenge on.

Standing beneath the memorial arch, her hand resting on the cold stone pillar, she looks back on her life with regret. She doesn't want the title of a virtuous widow. She only wishes she could have grown old with the man she loved.

She doesn't want to raise someone else's child.

She wants a son born from their love.

And if heaven gives her another chance, she swears she will never let her husband die in vain—and those who destroyed their happiness will pay the price.
