Reborn + satisfying revenge + sweet romance + two strong leads + playing the pig to eat the tiger
Huo Sanghua, the adopted daughter of Consort Qi, witnesses her new husband, Xie Shu, heir to the Marquis of Anding, being murdered on their wedding night. The killers then try to silence her.
But when she opens her eyes again, she's back three months earlier, meeting Xie Shu for the first time. Having been reborn, she knows that the man before her isn't Xie Shu, who will be her groom three months from now, but Xie Lin, the second son of the Xie family.
Her childhood friend, the Fourth Prince Li Lang, wants to sever ties with the Huo family, so he pressures her to marry into the Xie family instead. Heartbroken, Huo Sanghua has no choice but to find another way forward. Then she receives the same note as in her previous life: “Whatever you do, don't marry Xie Shu.”
It seems the wheels of fate have never stopped turning...
A marriage hides the secret schemes of many people. Since she has no choice but to marry into the Xie family, she'll marry the second son, notorious throughout Shengjing for doing nothing but eating, drinking, and having fun.
That way, she can investigate who killed her and Xie Shu in her previous life, and why Xie Lin pretended to be Xie Shu when they met!
Through a twist of fate, they become husband and wife.
The “illegitimate son of the marquis's household” and the “adopted daughter of Consort Qi” embark on a journey to rise to the top of the inner household. From a contract marriage where they can't stand each other to a string of ridiculous everyday mishaps, they gradually join forces and, after going through so much together, fall for each other without even realizing it.
But aside from Li Lang's constant attempts to make things difficult, there's an even bigger problem between them. Namely:
Xie Shu, who was supposed to die on his wedding night in her previous life, has returned!
Good writing, good plot
