We stared at each other. The young Marquis initially wanted to divorce me to save his own life.
Unexpectedly, before he had the chance to finish writing the divorce letter, the Emperor sent an imperial edict ordering him to the border to fight against the enemy.
Jeon Taehyung
As expected, a month later, a servant brought back news of his death.

Chapter 2
I organized a funeral for the young Marquis Jungkook and couldn't help but sigh as I looked at the desolate residence.
Jeon Taehyung
Now, my infamous reputation as the "Cursed Lone Star" had spread once again throughout the streets, causing everyone to avoid me like the plague.
In the vast Marquis's residence, only a few elderly servants and I remained.
Jeon Taehyung
As for the other servants, they were terrified of my reputation and all requested to leave.
Logically speaking, with the current situation in the Marquis's household, where my word was law, I should have been quite pleased.
Jeon Taehyung
Even though I was married to ward off bad luck, as the son of a merchant, being able to marry the young Marquis, who had achieved great military merit, as his legitimate wife, was indeed a stroke of luck for me.
However, I hadn't expected that the Marquis's family had so many enemies; the very next night, I was attacked by assassins.
At that moment, I was sitting at my desk, reviewing the account books, when suddenly several people in black burst through the window.
They held a portrait in their hands, glanced at me a few times, and said,
Assassin
That's him! The man who brought death to the Marquis's entire family!
Jeon Taehyung
Who are you?
One of the people in black drew his sword and sneered,
Assassin 2
There's no need for you to know.
Assassin 2
Anyway, even if you scream your lungs out now, no one will come to save you!
Terrified, I backed away and screamed at the top of my lungs,
Jeon Taehyung
My lungs! My lungs!
Jeon Taehyung
Damn it, is this really the time to be playing with such old jokes?
I kicked over the table to block the people in black, and this brief delay bought enough time for the old servant outside to respond.
The Marquis's household was renowned for its military prowess, and even the servants had some skills.
Uncle Wen shielded me, saying,
Uncle Wen
Madam! Leave this to me, you must flee quickly!
I hurriedly ran outside, but Uncle Wen, despite his skills, couldn't fend off all the attackers. One assassin managed to slip past and chased after me.
Seeing the blade getting closer and closer, I broke into a cold sweat. By the time I came to my senses, I had run all the way to the ancestral hall of the Marquis's family.
The dark ancestral hall was unlit, and the rows of memorial tablets on the walls looked eerie and desolate in the moonlight.
????
Accept your fate. You have nowhere left to run.

chapter 3
The assassin's voice came from behind me. My heart turned cold, and I dared not turn around. Instead, I prayed desperately to the young Marquis's memorial tablet:
Jeon Taehyung
Boo hoo, husband, I’m so scared, save me, save me, save me!
The assassin laughed maniacally,
????
Hahaha! What's the use of praying to a dead man's tablet?
????
You'd be better off kowtowing to me a couple of times; then I will promise to make your death a bit quicker!
The footsteps got closer and closer. Through his shadow, I could see the long knife being raised.
At the critical moment, I grabbed the young Marquis's memorial tablet and spun around.
I was my father's son born in his old age, pampered and spoiled from a young age. Although I was not well-versed in managing household affairs, I never lacked money.
I had never organized a funeral before, but I knew that choosing the most expensive option couldn't be wrong.
I had meticulously selected the young Marquis's memorial tablet. To ensure its grandeur, it was inlaid with gold inside and was incredibly sturdy, weighing dozens of pounds.
Memorial tablet [something like this]
Caught off guard, the assassin was struck by the tablet, sent flying, and rolled three times, crashing into the doorway.
He spat out a mouthful of blood through his mask, his eyes filled with disbelief, and his voice quivered with a hint of weakness as he spoke:
????
Did... Did you make my... Did you make this tablet out of a stone slab?
Meanwhile, I hugged the tablet, crying,
Jeon Taehyung
Husband, I knew you cherished me; even in death, you would protect me!
The assassin's expression was indescribable. Before he could say another word, the young Marquis memorial tablet cracked—
Assassin
No, the young Marquis's memorial tablet cracked, revealing the golden gleam within.
The assassin's eyes widened with shock.
Jeon Taehyung
He probably never expected that I would be so generous, arranging such a modest yet profoundly meaningful tablet for my own husband.
