One-line summary: The female lead sets her sights on the wrong man.
In her previous life, Wen Ning, the Grand Tutor's only daughter, was married to the heir of the Marquis of Jingyuan for three years. They were deeply in love, and their marriage was the talk of the capital.
Reborn three years earlier, when she was still unmarried, she does everything she can to engineer chance encounters so she can rekindle her relationship with her husband. But the heir of the Marquis of Jingyuan falls for someone else and comes to despise her.
Fate refuses to cooperate. Every time Wen Ning makes a fool of herself, she runs into the infuriating Crown Prince, Shen Che.
Although he is her father's student, everyone finds him disagreeable. In her previous life, Wen Ning couldn't stand him, and he felt the same about her.
But in this life, for some reason, the way he looks at her grows stranger by the day. The day they were supposed to amicably break off their engagement, as they had in her previous life, comes and goes while he puts it off at every turn. In the end, he even insists that she honor their betrothal!

Crown Prince Shen Che is as striking as a celestial being, but cold by nature. His only connection to the Wen family girl is the marriage contract between them.
The young woman is a little too carefree, but it is nothing serious, he thinks. Affection can be cultivated. Once she enters his household, she will learn to rein in her temperament.
One day at a palace banquet, she shamelessly calls out another man's name in front of everyone.
Afterward, she even asks to break off their engagement.
Shen Che had no feelings for Wen Ning to begin with. Out of respect for the Grand Tutor, he thinks he might as well grant her wish.
But the moment she draws near, a faint, fragrant scent envelops him, instantly easing the headaches that have plagued him for years.
Shen Che hesitates and says he will think it over.
After that, he keeps running into her as she chases after another man.
Watching her tears for that man, his dormant heart is stirred into a storm. He can no longer remain as aloof and self-possessed as before.
