[Fan fiction + HE + nontraditional wish fulfillment] I wrote this simply to make up for the regrets I had when I watched the show back then.
After falling off a cliff, Gu Zhixia is reborn at the moment she first met Xiang Tian. With all her memories intact, she realizes that Xiang Tian is not the right man for her.
This time around,
she'll reclaim her identity as the daughter of a warlord and change the course of her life. Things start unfolding in unexpected ways, beginning with the mysterious Long Tianyi...
By a twist of fate, Wu Cuicui falls for Xiang Tian, while Long Tianze lays claim to her.
Gu Zhixia sets a trap for Chi Rui, never expecting him to fall in love with her at first sight.
She thinks they can finally be together, but then a marriage contract suddenly comes between them.
Gu Qingfeng: "Miss, I'll take care of the marriage contract."
After Chi Rui and Gu Zhixia marry, life in the household leads Zhixia to start scheming against others as well.
A failed military mission leaves Chi Rui presumed dead, making Zhixia a "widow." Everyone considers her ill-omened.
With Old Madam Chi and the other elders driving her out, she has no choice but to turn to Gu Qingfeng. "Can you help me?"
Gu Qingfeng revives their marriage contract and marries her, heedless of what others think.
At first, he says, "How could I refuse to help a comrade? Let's agree on three conditions. If he comes back, I'll return you to him, just as you are."
But in the end, Gu Qingfeng says:
"My lady, why can't the one you love be me?"
Zhixia's daughter, Youyou, says, "Uncle, you like Mother. I'll help you."
Xiang Qiqi: "What?"
