[Both female lead and scumbag reborn + Sweet secret crush + Mutual salvation + Punishing scumbags and serving up face-slapping]
Qiao Ruoyao thought that she and Tang Yan had fallen in love at first sight and would love each other until death.
Even after he died, she continued to care for her parents-in-law, support his widowed sister-in-law in comfort, help his younger brother, and use her dowry to support the family. She was devoted to raising the Tang family to the height of wealth and nobility.
But he wasn’t dead. He came home with a lovely wife who could make firearms and draw blueprints, bullied Qiao Ruoyao because her parents were both gone, forced her to divorce him, and kept her imprisoned for the rest of her life!
After being reborn, Qiao Ruoyao no longer wanted to support anyone. She decisively prepared to leave and save her parents.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yan returned four years ahead of schedule.
Fine, then she would show him just how hard life was without money!
*
Tang Yan was reborn too, brimming with ambition and ready to make a big name for himself!
First, he would make his rather disobedient wife cry and beg to become his concubine. Then he would kill He Zhizhao, the rival who had tried to assassinate him time and again in his previous life!
Well, it was a beautiful dream, but reality gave him a vicious slap in the face!
He was forced into a divorce. His home suffered a rat infestation and an assassination attempt. His pants fell down in broad daylight. He was humiliated at every turn… Driven to the brink of suicide by his lack of money, he despaired. What on earth had happened to the world?!
*
Even the cat He Zhizhao raised knew that he had been secretly in love with Qiao Ruoyao for ten years, and that he kept disguising himself as all sorts of people to protect her every day, even after she married someone else.
Heaven had finally taken pity on him: the woman he loved had gotten divorced.
So he spent every day trying to climb over her wall, and even his cat became a messenger!
Yes, he would flirt with her, spoil her rotten, and carry her home!
