In her previous life, Shui Yiren was made to accompany the brutal crown prince in death. He slit her throat, leaving her corpse in a foreign land with no one to claim it. In the end, the chief minister bought her a coffin and had her buried back in Shui Family Village.
When she opens her eyes again, she is back in Shui Family Village. At eight years old, she has just been sold by her grandparents. And her gloomy little husband is the very man who will one day arrange her burial.
Shui Yiren also knows that her gloomy little husband is planning to run away…
A duckweed in a troubled world, she might as well cling to someone powerful and enjoy the shade. From then on, she gives him whatever food she has, the best of everything, and buys him books, helping him rise to success. As for herself, she takes a completely different path from the one she followed in her previous life and settles into a comfortable existence.
The richest man arrives with betrothal gifts. “Yiren, we're the ones who are truly well matched! Come manage my money!” The general of the dynasty says, “I will protect you and keep you safe for the rest of your life.”
Just then, the chief minister kicks both men aside and holds out his hand. “Come home with me, little girl.”
It doesn't look good. It uses ancient Chinese language in the style of a modern drama. It sounds very awkward, especially like a foreigner expressing in blunt Mandarin and decisively abandoning the text.
