Description
Song Yuanzhi is reborn as the heroine of an old, bloody, and abusive novel. According to the plot, she will be taken away by Xuanyuan Yu, the son of Nan’an Marquis, as a substitute for Bai Yueguang, and then repeatedly tortured her, due which she finally committed su*cide. After her death, Xuanyuan Yu was in great pain, and then he found out that he had already fallen in love with her, so he went crazy and killed all his concubines and Bai Yueguang, and spent his whole life looking for a substitute, suffering for his whole life. This plot is speechless! Song Yuanzhi ran away from him at night, and before Xuanyuan Yu could do anything to her, she quickly accepted the marriage proposal from the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Zhenbei Marquis Lu Shaoyou was the emperor’s favorite, and he was successful at a young age. He had made great military achievements at the age of twenty and was the god of war in the hearts of the people of the Rong Dynasty. Even the arrogant Xuanyuan Yu had to kneel down and show respect in front of Lu Shaoyou. The only negative point is that in the recent border war, Lu Shaoyou was unfortunately killed in battle and his body was not found. This also means that Song Yuanzhi will be a widow as soon as she enters his house. In this regard, Song Yuanzhi expressed her satisfaction: her husband is gone, so she doesn’t have to worry about him cheating; she can adopt a child from the other subclans to raise them, so she doesn’t even have to go through the gates of hell for giving birth; under the filial piety, she doesn’t have to worry about raising an ungrateful person. A leisurely retirement life is waiting for her, which is great! However, what Song Yuanzhi didn’t expect was that her fiancé, who was said to have died in battle, actually came back alive!

My Thoughts on After Becoming the Heroine, I Just Want to Be a Widow
"After Becoming the Heroine, I Just Want to Be a Widow" is a completed web novel that I recently finished reading, and it's definitely left me with mixed feelings. While it's an enjoyable enough read, I wouldn't necessarily place it among my all-time favorites. It's a lighthearted take on transmigration and revenge, but some elements felt a bit too simplistic for my taste.
First Impressions
The premise immediately hooked me. A female protagonist transmigrating into a novel written by her enemy, determined to rewrite her tragic ending? Sign me up! I was eager to see how she'd navigate the familiar tropes of ancient China settings, especially with the added layer of knowing the "plot" beforehand. It felt like a fun twist on the usual transmigration story.
What Works Well
The protagonist is a definite highlight. She's described as seemingly delicate, but with a surprisingly strong and vengeful side, which I found incredibly appealing. I also appreciated the "green flag" male lead who dotes on her. Their relationship was sweet and provided a nice contrast to the more dramatic elements of the plot. The revenge plot itself, while not overly complex, was satisfying. Seeing the FL actively taking charge and dishing out some well-deserved retribution was definitely a plus. Also, the novel does well by wrapping up the story in a short time, so it doesn't drag on and become tiring.
Areas of Concern
The biggest drawback for me was the simplicity of the plot and villains. While I appreciate a lighthearted read, the antagonists often felt too brainless, and the solutions to problems seemed to conveniently fall into place. This lack of complexity made the story feel somewhat predictable, and I longed for a bit more depth and intrigue, and if you are used to reading more realistic novels, this may be a bit too fantastical for you. While the story is enjoyable, the plot may feel rushed at times.
Final Verdict
"After Becoming the Heroine, I Just Want to Be a Widow" is a decent read if you're looking for a light, trope-filled story with a satisfying revenge plot and a sweet romance. Just don't expect intricate political schemes or morally grey characters. It's a good way to pass the time, especially if you enjoy transmigration stories with a strong female lead. Overall, I'd recommend it for a quick, easy read when you're in the mood for something not too demanding.
