So in this part, ML started having doubts/suspicions about MC's identity, because she was reborn.

She is pregnant with his child at this point, and he starts avoiding her due to said suspicions. It's due to this and certain reasons that the ML then leaves the capital. When MC is giving birth though, he rushes back to accompany her. To be fair, in this section, he is full of worries and genuinely regrets leaving her at such a dangerous time for her.

However, the good impression I have of him is pretty much cracked by what happens next.

Basically, they reunite and she removes all the doubts in his heart by pleading with him. She half-apologizes for being such a stubborn person, states that he's the best ever, and pleads for a new start. ML is touched, accepts, and lets go of the problems in his heart.

I don't get this. MC didn't even choose to be reborn, it just happened that way. While she was never completely honest, it's not like she outright lied about it either. She also keeps her appropriate distance from her previous husband, and does her best to care for her current one, the ML. I really don't see where she did anything wrong.

The only thing I can think of that should reasonably upset the ML is that she didn't really marry him for love. However, she had a valid reason for doing it, and he accepted it already.

So I can't understand why the story needs MC to become like this. If the ML suspected something, why didn't he talk to her? She didn't even really do anything wrong, she didn't interfere with your interests, why do you accept an apology?

If MC hadn't come to the ML, then would he have just gone about his life forever not letting go of this issue?

What I really couldn't stand that after all that the MC went through, in the end, she had to bring down her prideful and (imo) lovely attitude to appease ML.

MC's ex-husband is really inadequate. He can't be an ML in any way. He has no achievements; only banking on his father's achievements and status. Second, he left his first wife in the dark until she died, because he believes she lied to him, but never confronted her about this. She never lied about anything, because they never even talked about it. His two marriages were failures, because he was a bad husband. All these failures before he even turned 20, lol. Then he realized he has feelings for his step mother? Oh god...

Gao Ran is a transmigrator, but is just a green tea b*tch. She was pretty dumb in continuing to scheme instead of fixing her relationship with her husband first. She keeps pushing her luck thinking she has the golden halo. She thought that because she was a transmigrator from the future that she was better than any of them. She was too conceited and overconfident. She really brought everything on herself...

People from the late wife, FL's ex and Gao Ran, really liked to poke on FL's sore spot-- the legendary love story of ML and his late wife. ML was upset when he knew that people used the stories of his 'affection' towards his late wife as a weapon to attack FL.

The truth is, there's no story between ML and his late wife. Remember those 'moving' fairy tales? It's simply just the late wife's delusions. ML did save her, but he also saved dozens others. But his late wife kept chasing him, then spread rumours about her and ML. ML didn't even know her name until the rumours spread like a plague. ML's reputation would be just fine, but he told his mother he had to get married anyway. So they married. That's it. There's no 'legendary' story that moves the heaven or so on. They're just the late wife's delusions, and her servants' nonsense. None of ML's comrades liked his late wife, and even though they had persuaded ML to get married again, he always refused. Which is why they were so ecstatic about FL.

The late wife was a reallllly spoiled one. She was pampered by everyone in her house like a pearl--- but dude, her stepmother isn't the only one who thinks she's overspoiled, even I, a modern girl also feel it too. ML finally understood why her stepmother looked at him with pity.

She was whimsical, and extremely ridiculous, to the point that ML would rather stay in the barracks than returning to his mansion. She always forced her delusions on ML. She made everyone believed that ML's favorite food is fish, which, is not. In fact, he didn't really like fish. And FL's ex who was being considerate towards ML never knew about ML's preferences and blamed FL when she tried to change the menu.

ML found out that FL is his reincarnated daughter-in-law. He was confused, sad, angry. All complex feelings mixed up inside him, but in the end, he chose FL. He was jealous and angry because he feared that FL could not move on from her past, his son. But after he cleared his mind, he found out that FL had completely moved on and made up her mind to stand side by side with him.

In the past (before reborn) FL, Lin Wei Xi was Gao Xi, wife of Yan Wang's heir. Their married life wasn't good. Her husband neglected her. He didn't like her strong character. He thought she had taken her sister's position. After being married for a year she died of illness. Three month later her husband married her sister.

Right after her death, she woke up in body of Lin Wei Xi. She met Yan Wang (her father in law in the past). She asked him to took her away from the village. After that he took her to the capital. She came back to her former residence, Yan Wangfu as Lin Wei Xi. She met her ex husband and sister.

She did not intend for revenge. She wants to start a new life as Lin Wei Xi and doesn't care about ex husband and sister's marriage. But still, she couldn't completely escape the past. Gao ran, her sister thought she's very pleased to see and she intended to marry her off to son of Qian family. Lin Wei Xi was very upset and finally asked Yan Wang to marry her.

Their married life is very enjoyable. At first they married without "love". However, they actually have special feelings to each other. Lin Wei Xi admires Yan Wang, and he also doesn't want to lose Lin Wei Xi. Yan Wang treats Lin Wei Xi well, he accepts her strong character and love it. Lin Wei Xi tries to be a good wife to her husband and he spoils her.

There is no major conflict or bloody revenge in this story. Some conflicts are between FL and sister, servants or conflict between FL and ML because of ex-wife, former Yan Wangfei, Shen shi (I feel sorry for him for marrying a "sick" woman like her).

In the end, her ex husband regretted neglecting her. He had lost her, and his father got her. Of course his father deserves to be her husband because from the beginning he accepted her as she is.

What will happen if you resurrected in another's body and finally know what happened after you died? What if, by a series of coincidences, you met your ex-husband and your ex-sister and live with them in the same mansion? What if, just to prove yourself, you offered marriage to your ex-husband's father, who is also 15 years older than you? Will you let yourself go and finally live free to yourself?

she even "invented" a Go game from the modern days and claimed it as her own creation lol, talk about being shameless

If one day I discovered that my husband was actually my deceased previous son-in-law, like damn if I won't freak out the way he did! It's understandable that he wanted to get some space away from her and organize his thoughts coz that's a hard pill to swallow. Although the timing wasn't the best because he did leave (though he still has his trusted people stay by her side and report her every action to him) while she was pregnant with his child but at least he came back regretting his cowardly actions just at the right time. After that, he learned to accept it and move on with his life together with his beloved wife and children and tbh I couldn't think of a better ending than that!

One of my favorites is: We know a transmigrated person is a 20-30+ year old adult in a child's body, and generally accept that she needs to be amazing in school, relationships, and take down her enemies in the new family.

But if we flip that and are forced to face that the "enemy" is a literal 6 year old who had no say in being born to the main wife, we have to wonder--wtf kind of adult goes full out against a kindergartner?

We have to think about the effects of a literal child being compared to an actual adult's capabilities and being found wanting.

There's also the debate between experience, hard work, and genius. What happens when an average adult masquerading as a genius child suddenly finds themselves among newly adult peers who are actual geniuses who worked hard for the past 10 years, unlike the transmigrator, who coasted on borrowed knowledge, fading recollections, and cheap tricks? They're shocked it's time to pay the piper: they aren't so smart anymore and the tactics that worked so well when everyone thought they were 5 don't work so well at 20.

Also, what sort of ~40 year old would be attracted to and marry a 16 year old? That's super gross, and the answer is: a pretty childish one.

Since the kid's head has been stuffed with nonsensical stuff from a young age about his parents' "great love", his biggest wish was to emulate it. The wish seemed to come true when MC was identified through the jade accessory and he married her, but when the real savior -- the half-sister -- came along everything fell apart, and MC as the "wicked woman" had to be punished for ruining his "fated marriage", the neglect leading to MC's death.

The son is a real case of not knowing something's worth until losing it as it's later revealed that he started falling in love with her before the half-sister's intrusion and now is regretting very much that he let her die. And he didn't marry the half-sister so soon out of love, but instead of some misguided sense of wanting to make it up to his deceased wife. Like seriously, it would be so comforting for anyone to know that the person who caused their death is being carried of the palm of their former spouse's hand, rofl.

However, he couldn't treat his new wife right either. The half-sister was nothing like her sister, and in contrast with his original dream of a two person world, he started picking up mistresses left and right while chasing after his deceased wife's ghost. Whenever his newest squeeze didn't live up to his expectations he went looking for the next one, letting the women deal with each other which caused the inner courtyard of the estate to become a mess. The MC also got caught in the crossfire, both due to being the true lady of the house and his budding affections.

You've read that right, in his quest for a substitue he wouldn't let go of even his father's new wife! As her mannerisms were the same, MC greatly reminded him of her original self and he fell for her again. And after he figured out her true identity, he would have fought his father for her if not for the main couple retreating to the countryside in the end.

Although ML could have avoided disaster if he wasn't such a goody two-shoes toward his previous wife, he was practically forced to marry her. I think everyone met at least once the type of bimbo who wants to repay a lifesaving grace with her body already in their webnovel reading career, now, the ML's former wife was exactly this type of bimbo. With the help of her family she started weaving fanciful rumours about them being lovers and put ML on the spot. As I said, if he wasn't so concerned about her reputation he wouldn't have been so miserable, but in the end he agreed to marry her because he needed an heir and he thought he could grow to care for her even if he didn't love her. Unfortunately for him, the woman also had a few screws loose that didn't become apparent until he started living with her as even after getting the real deal, she still preferred the Yan Wang in her daydreams.

The woman must have been a real piece of work if he ran away to war instead of dealing her -- yup, that's the sad truth. His chosen method of dealing with his problem was avoidance and to avoid his wife he decided to distance everything related to his trauma. His brainwashed household, and this will sound cruel but his son as well -- he still gave his son everything to thrive, but I don't think he ever would have gotten involved with his affairs if he didn't make a mess.

As for him finally dealing with the people of his deceased wife, I didn't read it as him doing it for the MC, but for himself, so he could have a fresh start without being plagued by them.

He is also a victim of a loveless marriage. A MAJOR SPOILER---------He didnt even know his 1st wife till he got home. she was just a random person whom he saved and she got obsessed over our ML. He didnt have time to fall in love. His wife was delusional and didnt even care about him. he was 15-16ish when he married and he tried to keep the marriage going... alright. then a son was born while he was constantly fighting in war. He wasnt ready to accept a child that early BUT he did his best as a father and he regrets that he was not there when his son grew up. That regret was clearly there. so no one can say he was heartless towards his son. "someone commented that how our ML was disappointed in his son and it was wrong of him to think like that." try to imagine the scenario in our MLs point of view. he tried his best to educate his son. gave him his freedom. was always in look-out for him till our FL happened. even so he acted like a mature person. I love that quality about him. he met our FL 10 years after his wife died. So does he not deserve a chance to fall in love for the first time? All in all the son is such an unreasonable person. He didnt thrive to go forward like his father did when he was in his age. he was hung up in a delusional dream which his mom created where his parents were so in love and regarded FL as a third person. like bruh come on drop it and move on? this was just one aspect. there are many more layers to this!

AND ALSOOOO... hahha there is no stopping to my thoughts that shows how much I like the story XD...i saw some comments below saying that our ML didnt manage his household well...I think that was because he didnt have the experience with a proper wangfei to help him manage his house. at a young age he got married and few years after he lost both his mom and wife leaving a 7 yr old child. He was in the care of his moms servants. So our ML didnt interfere but cared for him from a distance... he didnt mind as long as the servants didnt make a threat to him and his son. He is very much of a go with the flow person. I REPEAT this is all before FL came into the picture.

She took the initiative to ask our ML to marry her. LIKE WOW THAT SCENE...I WILL FOREVER REMEMBER THAT XD I love when our FLs are proactive. AND also she didnt deliberately make it hard for the supposed OML and OFL... there were reason to what she did. it was nice to see some good face slapping going around

and the age gap...i really didnt mind it because first, it was ancient times... modern rules dont apply there, as readers we have to know that, secondly our ML was a mature and a magnanimous person who treated out FL really well, thirdly, I love age gaps because it is refreshing to see how two people from different personalities fall in love. It is a break from everyday romance.

Even though it is a rebirth, she is reborn in someone else's body a month or two after her own death so physically and mentally there's not much of an age gap.. She really is a teenager and a smart one for that matter

The ML is very observant and keen and arrives to the conclusion himself that the FL is actually his previous Daughter in law (whom he never met) and he gathered that from his own observations and when he finally accepted it, he wasn't repulsed by it or suspicious but rather confused, he wanted to take some time to calm himself down and sort his thoughts not to mention he was somewhat aware that his son had feelings for her :v, although he did leave her when she was pregnant, I think he might had to eventually leave for a while anyways due to the the problems in the royal court as well as the disasters, but he always updated himself about her wellbeing and when he realised that she was skipping food and all.. He decided to come back early (worked out well for him as she went into early labour) and he regrets leaving her. As for when the FL confirms his thoughts, I didn't think it was an apology of sort but rather soothing his thoughts. By this time, she knew that he had known about her but both never said anything, and just as FL was upset due to the previous wife, the ML too was upset due to his son and wondered whether she married him so that she can come back here, so instead of apologises, it was more of a confirmation of their feelings towards each other. (Also, please keep in mind that FL is not a transmigrater but she is an ancient woman brought up with ancient values and same for the ML and for an ancient man, he is very accepting and open-minded.
