After being flogged to death for a crime she didn’t commit, Calista received a second chance when a system contracted her. It was simple: complete tasks and she could earn a second chance in life. After completing several of them, the chance to reincarnate in her original world and body was finally granted to her. However, unlike others, she didn’t want revenge against the people who killed her or wanted to unmask what truly transpired back then. All she wanted was to live peacefully and enjoy the bounty benefits which came with the reincarnation. And that was something she found when she met a man she fell in love with in some backward village. Unfortunately, all that was broken when her husband of five years perished at the hands of bandits. Things went downhill when Calista married her second husband, Orson, an amnesiac man whom she scammed into marrying her. But things weren't as simple as they seemed— Orson might be hiding some secrets of his own. Led on a path of revenge that Calista never thought she would be on, she soon realized that Orson might have more to do with her first life and death than he led on. If he knew she was still alive, he might kill her again. That meant that this time, Calista might have to strike first.
Cropville Village
"Lord husband, you have a visitor!" the cheerful voice belonging to Ma Susan rang in Ba Susan's ears as he was just finishing changing his clothes.
"Who is it?" he asked out loud as he started walking towards the door.
"It's the Councilor!" the response came.
When he heard that, a strange expression appeared on his face as he increased his pace.
'Why is he here?' he couldn't help but wonder.
Ba Susan opened the door and exited the room. His wife was no longer by the door, but already in the main hall. He followed her, and when he got there, he saw the fancy carriage which was coming to a halt in his yard.
"Husband, what do you think he is here for again?" Ma Susan curiously wondered.
It's been a while since the man came to their village and with Calista not around, something that only a few of them knew. What more could he want?
