After Prison, I Reached Life’s Peak

Just after Gu Wan married, her husband’s family was dragged into the struggle for the throne. Her father-in-law was executed, and the entire household was exiled. Her newlywed husband died in prison, and in the desolate frontier she was forced to remarry her husband’s younger brother. When the family finally managed to claw its way back to power, she was cruelly “declared dead of illness” to cover up the shame. Such was the tragic life of the original heroine. When Gu Wan first transmigrated, she discovered she was already caught up in the case, awaiting exile. Gu Wan: “…” With prospects this bleak, could she still try to change her fate? She plucked the ruby earring hidden in her messy hair and thought: perhaps she could start by saving that so‑called “first among the Five Ridges, proud in fine clothes and spirited steeds” husband—who in reality was about to drop dead. In the end, Gu Wan concluded she had basically rescued a walking cheat code. And as she slowly learned to work with this “plug‑in,” she found herself carried along to the peak of life. And somehow, without even realizing it, she also won over the original novel’s heroine’s unattainable, untouchable “white moonlight.” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: After Prison, I Reached Life’s Peak — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
