In her previous life, Su Yuezhi lost both her parents. Her uncle and aunt took over the family estate and took her in.
For the sake of appearances, they treated Su Yuezhi as if they cherished her, but behind closed doors they despised her. They wanted to find an ambitious scholar to be their son-in-law, hoping to hitch themselves to the coattails of an official. There were few scholars in their remote backwater, and when they finally found one suitable for the role, his family was unfortunately dirt poor. So they married Su Yuezhi off to him. To avoid being thrown out, she agreed.
After the wedding, she was tormented to death by a wicked mother-in-law, a useless husband, and a pack of freeloading younger siblings.
Reborn, Su Yuezhi decided she would not marry, not ever. Men were all worthless. Better to be cast out and make her own way. But a household still needed a man to protect it, so she took in a boy as her “bodyguard.”
While keeping busy taking revenge on those who had wronged her in her previous life, Su Yuezhi also worked hard to build a business and make a fortune. She even sent her “little bodyguard” off to study.
Later, when the “little bodyguard” found his family, she waved goodbye and focused on her business.
But then, before she knew it...
A Cheng: “Zhiniang, marry me! I’m not like other men. I’m your child bridegroom.”
Su Yuezhi: “???”
