Do you know where can I read the novel? any language would be fine
I found the novel online from this tweet (chapter 8 doesn’t appear in the first link listed, so the op also put a link for chapter 8 in the same tweet)
If anyone wants to know why the grave she found to towards end of ep 4 said “Virtuous Woman/Yeolnyeo”, here is some historical information:
A woman's chastity and loyalty to her spouse were considered so important that the [Joseon] government gave awards called yeolnyeo to those who led an exemplary life by remaining loyal to their late husbands. Originally intended to set a good example, the award created a situation which got worse in late Joseon, where widows would kill themselves in order to be acknowledged as 'virtuous women', a title that brought honour to both sides of the family. It reached a point where a betrothed woman would commit suicide if her husband-to-be died before the wedding ceremony.
