Transmigrated into a book? A vicious female supporting character? A senior sister? Tsk tsk!

Then, the scene shifts again, and the old woman arrives at a brightly lit door. After she enters, the scene behind the screen changes once more.

Next, we will talk about my mother-in-law's life. In this life, my mother-in-law was born into a farming family, and the family's conditions were still not good.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law did not suffer any more torment in her life. Although it was hard, her life was smooth, and she died peacefully in her old age. After that, there were scenes of the underworld.

Then came the second life. The mother-in-law in the second life was born into a small merchant family. Although her parents did not love her as much as they did in the previous life, her life was better than in the previous life.

After reaching marriageable age, she became engaged to the son of her neighbor, who was also a small merchant. They married a year later and had two sons and a daughter.

Although the couple wasn't particularly affectionate, they treated each other with respect and lived a peaceful and uneventful life, passing away peacefully in their old age.

In her third life, the mother-in-law became the illegitimate daughter of a seventh-rank official. Because of her outstanding appearance, she was ostracized by the main wife and the legitimate daughter.

Fortunately, my mother-in-law's aunt was very good at mediating and helped her avoid a lot of trouble and framing. Later, she even managed to find a good family for her.

Although my mother-in-law married into a merchant family, that family was very wealthy. And although she was an illegitimate daughter, she was still an illegitimate daughter of an official.

She married into the family as the legal wife, and her mother-in-law was beautiful. Her husband was gentle and considerate, and he also loved his mother very much. Their life was very sweet.

The year after the marriage, the mother-in-law gave birth to her eldest son, which further solidified her position in the merchant family. After that, she gave birth to three more sons and two daughters.

Although her husband took a concubine when she gave birth in her third year, the concubine was timid and very respectful to her mother-in-law.

With her husband's doting affection, her in-laws' respect, and the concubine's deference, the mother-in-law lived a very comfortable life. However, during her last pregnancy...

She suffered from a difficult childbirth, which left her with chronic illnesses. She passed away from the disease at the age of forty, but compared to her previous two lives, she was truly happy in this one.

In her fourth life, her mother-in-law was the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, a third-rank Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. She enjoyed a privileged upbringing and received an excellent education.

As she grew older, although her mother-in-law's appearance was not outstanding, she was a highly sought-after daughter-in-law in high society because of her family background and good temperament.

After she came of age, her mother-in-law's parents arranged a marriage for her with the son of a third-rank official in the Ministry of War. To outsiders, the two were considered a well-matched couple.

Unfortunately, the wife of the Vice Minister of War was a formidable character. Not only was the Vice Minister of War henpecked, but he was also a quintessential "henpecked husband."

The main problem is that they raised their son to be extremely weak-willed and accustomed to obeying his mother in everything, big or small—a so-called "mama's boy."

Although the wife of the Vice Minister of War was happy about the marriage between the two families, being happy was one thing, but setting rules forcefully was another.

Therefore, after her mother-in-law married into the family two years later, she was subjected to morning and evening greetings and all sorts of rules and regulations. Fortunately, her mother-in-law was already well-versed in these rules.

Although life was tiring, it wasn't too bad. However, her husband always sided with his mother when she was with "Madam," which made her quite upset.

A year and a half later, the mother-in-law gave birth to a son, which pleased the Vice Minister of War and his family. However, the "wife" still bossed her around, and the husband remained weak.

Three years later, because her mother-in-law had not conceived again, the "madam" arranged for her husband to take two concubines. In the following six months, the concubines became pregnant one after another, but they all gave birth to daughters.

Meanwhile, her mother-in-law became pregnant again and gave birth to a boy ten months later. Seeing this, the "wife" stopped causing trouble, and her husband treated her better than before.

However, after some bumps along the way, the mother-in-law had developed a rift in her heart, and with two sons by her side, she no longer cared so much about her husband.

As time went on, the husband noticed his mother's attitude and became quite dissatisfied with it, causing their relationship to gradually drift apart.

Fortunately, the mother-in-law's two sons were both very promising. They both passed the imperial examinations and entered the court one after another. They were also very filial to their mother-in-law.

In this life, the mother-in-law and husband's relationship was less than ideal, but their son made up for it. They lived a peaceful and healthy life, passing away at a ripe old age. Their experiences were quite good.

In her fifth life, her mother-in-law's father was a first-rank general protecting the country, and her mother was a princess of the reigning dynasty. She was their only daughter, and therefore was pampered from a young age.

Moreover, because her mother-in-law's father held military power and her mother was the Empress Dowager's daughter, the Emperor also valued and loved her very much.

When she came of age, she was directly granted the title of princess, given a princess's residence, and granted the most prosperous town as her fiefdom.

Later, during a spring outing, the mother-in-law fell in love at first sight with the youngest son of the prime minister. Logically speaking, a princess marrying the prime minister's son was indeed a good match.

The crucial point is that this princess was not the emperor's biological daughter. If the princess and her husband had no children, it would be fine, but unfortunately, they had two outstanding sons.

Fortunately, the prime minister was fair and incorruptible, and had supported the emperor's ascension to the throne all the way. He was the most loyal royalist in the emperor's eyes, and the emperor also had a good relationship with the eldest princess and her brother.

Therefore, there was not much suspicion about the two families wanting to unite through marriage; instead, they generously granted the marriage to the two.

However, the emperor's lack of suspicion did not mean his sons were free of suspicion. As the princes grew up, their ambitions also increased.

They each began to court powerful ministers, and officials began to take sides, while the families of the Prime Minister and the Eldest Princess remained neutral.

As one can imagine, the princes, having failed to win over the families, harbored deep resentment. The subsequent marriage alliance between the two families not only fueled their resentment but also instilled fear in the princes.

They feared that the two families, one civil and one military, would gradually undermine their emperor father's authority, and eventually push the eldest princess's son to the throne.

Consequently, various framing and rumors followed. Throughout history, even the wisest and most brilliant emperors have been prone to suspicion and distrust.

Even though he initially refused to believe it, as the rumors spread and many people framed him, the emperor gradually became wary of both families.

Both families, especially the prime minister's family, held high positions and were certainly not fools; they had both considered the future. They discussed the matter and initially intended to retreat to preserve their own interests.

Unfortunately, the emperor was not only wary of them, but also even more wary of his own sons. He feared being forced to abdicate by his sons, so he dared not let the two families withdraw.

Although the two families were helpless, they could only try other solutions. Unfortunately, the Empress Dowager passed away suddenly, and the bond between them was gone.

The princes became increasingly unscrupulous, joining forces to frame both families for treason. Perhaps the evidence was too convincing, because this time the emperor did not defend them.

The princes immediately confiscated the property of both families and exiled them. Fearing further complications, they tacitly hired people to murder both families during the exile.

Thus ended the mother-in-law's short life; it could be said that it began perfectly but ended tragically...
