Thrice Married to a Salted Fish (Novel) Vol. 4

THE THIRD MARRIAGE…AND THE FINAL TWIST OF FATE

Lin Qingyu’s late husband Jiang Xing has returned: this time, in the body of the new emperor himself. But that powerful role could impede them when it comes to resuming their romance. People throughout the palace—from servants to the empress dowager herself—have a close eye on the emperor, and strong convictions about how his reign should unfold. If Jiang Xing insists on remarrying his widow, will he overplay his hand?

But the two of them are not destined to stay confined to the world of the court. After all they've gone through with the cycles of Jiang Xing's death and rebirth, the final challenge may be the most difficult yet. Will their love survive if they're forced to leave the palace behind?
