Su Xiao, a modern office worker, stayed up late finishing a novel about a widow being abused to death—only to wake up as Lin Wanzhao, the docile widow in the story who's forced to stay chaste by her vicious mother-in-law and has her dowry seized by her brother-in-law's family. The original Lin Wanzhao endured until she died of depression, but Su Xiao refuses to submit. She digs out her dowry ledger, slaps evidence of her brother-in-law's embezzlement on the clan elder's table, and uses an ancient law that "widows can inherit half of their husband's property" to shut her mother-in-law up. Just as she thinks she's about to turn her life around, Gu Chen, her late husband's friend and the Northern General who vanished for five years, returns. He blocks a teacup thrown by her brother-in-law, pulls out a jade pendant identical to Su Xiao's modern phone charm, and says, "I knew you weren't the original—because this is our past-life promise."
