Spring Begonia Brocade

After seven years of marriage without offspring, everyone advised him to divorce her and marry someone else, but he steadfastly refused, declaring that a wife who shared his hardships should never be cast aside, earning him great praise from scholars and literati alike. Little did they know, Qin Mingsong had long since kept a mistress and had even fathered children with her. Later, when Qin Mingsong entered the imperial court to serve as an official, he took only the mistress's family with him, while leaving his original wife in their hometown under the pretext that she was staying behind to serve his parents on his behalf, once again earning him a sterling reputation. It made Song Jin feel as nauseated as if she had swallowed a fly. Upon her rebirth, Song Jin's concubine-born younger sister refused to accept a life as a widow and plotted to swap marriages with Song Jin. Song Jin sneered inwardly; that Qin Mingsong was no good match at all. What is honey to you is arsenic to others. After decisively marrying the sickly Qin Chi, Song Jin delved into her ancestral medicinal texts, growing medicinal herbs and fighting off enemies, amassing a vast fortune. The only strange thing was that the sickly man was not short-lived as he had been in her past life; instead, he passed the imperial examinations with flying colors and rose to the highest ranks of officialdom. The person who deserved to die didn't die—it was simply absurd!
