Jun Weixue and her younger sister are both reborn.
In their previous lives, she married the heir to a marquis's estate, while her sister married a wealthy merchant. Their fates could not have been more different.
Sure enough, she rose steadily through the ranks and became the wife of a commander, while her sister's promiscuity ruined her reputation.
In this new life, her sister schemes to ruin her virtue and steal her marriage to the marquis's heir.
As a disgraced young lady whose reputation is in tatters, Jun Weixue cannot find a husband even when she offers a generous dowry.
Her parents blame her for bringing shame on the family, and accusation after accusation comes crashing down on her.
Heartbroken and disillusioned, she makes a bold decision on impulse.
Fine. If she has to marry someone anyway, she'd rather choose for herself than let someone else decide.
She picks a scholar almost at random, like a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse. But after they marry, she discovers there is something strange about him at every turn.
He seems so poor he owns nothing but the clothes on his back, yet the gifts he brings when visiting her family are worth a fortune.
He seems crude and uncultured, yet he speaks with eloquence and is a formidable martial artist.
He is always saying outrageous things like “marriage by choice” and “equality between men and women.”
