General's wife Shen Ruyue returns reborn, right when news of her husband Xie Chen's faked death reaches the capital. Younger sister-in-law Xie Ruyan brings over a spiked ginseng soup to replay the previous life's trap of catching an adulterer and drowning her. Calmly swapping the bowls for counter-killing, she lets Xie Ruyan and down-and-out cousin Gu Zhiping be caught on the spot in her own room. Xie Chen returns from his faked death carrying Yun Niang who is seven months pregnant, attempting to use the old trick to smear her reputation, divorce her, and swallow her dowry. Shen Ruyue exposes the plot on the street, pulls out an account book of thirty thousand taels of dowry to confront them, actively donates all the silver as border military provisions after the divorce, gains the title of Zhaoyang County Princess, and smoothly exposes the evidence of the Xie family's corruption and false merits. Xie Chen is stripped of his official post and exiled, his mother suffers a stroke and dies paralyzed in the ancestral temple, and the younger sister-in-law is reduced to a beggar on the streets.
