The Living Widow

Synopsis

“...Yes, I understand. I will warm my brother-in-law’s bed.”

“……!”

“I don’t care if I become a concubine or a nightly service maid.”

On her wedding night, her husband collapsed onto her stomach with a thud. He had been thrusting madly, but before even half an hour had passed in the bridal chamber, he stopped breathing — dying just like the rumors said, from overexertion in bed.

After that night, her mother-in-law coerced her daily to take her own life, and she endured endless torment. Then one day, her late husband’s older brother, Jaegyeom, appeared before her like a ray of light. If only she could escape this suffocating life in Joseon — she would do anything to break free from this wretched world.
