[Reborn in a bygone era + never lets a grudge go + older woman/younger man romance + real and fake heiresses + both romantically inexperienced + sweet romance]
In her previous life, Xie Yuxin was emotionally manipulated by a scumbag. After she died, he and her third older sister drained every last bit of value from her. The two of them profited from her misery, then laughed and called her a complete idiot.
Meanwhile, the person she had never appreciated held her emaciated, skeletal body and went gray overnight.
Given another chance at life, she holds a grudge over every slight and never forgives or forgets.
She makes it her mission to deal with white lotuses and takes pleasure in leading scumbags around by the nose.
This time, she'll take revenge the moment she's wronged. And that soldier boy? She's keeping him firmly in the palm of her hand.
But the scumbag has gone mad. In her previous life, he treated her like trash; now he pursues her relentlessly. He's already with her third older sister, yet he keeps throwing suggestive lines at her. “Yuxin, you said you'd only love me in this life. You're with him just to make me jealous, aren't you?”
Xie Yuxin retched. “You're ugly and full of yourself. Don't tell me you really think you're a big deal. Go take a good look at yourself in a puddle.”
The soldier boy pouted. “Don't you hate him? Why did you smile at him?”
Xie Yuxin gently reassured him. “That smile was crocodile tears. Didn't you see the murderous look in it?”
“Why tire yourself out with the killing?” The soldier boy lovingly massaged her. “Just tell me who to beat up. You're the wind and I'm the sand; wherever you point, I won't strike anywhere else. Tell me to chase dogs, and I won't catch chickens.”
“Sounds good. Men and women working together make light work.”
They put their strength to work together.
He served his country, while she took care of their home so he had nothing to worry about. She worked hard to make money, while he handled the household so she could focus on her goals.
Who says marrying a soldier boy is a bad idea?
They're all talking nonsense.
Xie Yuxin knows this better than anyone.
This book is well written and the characters are well drawn. I really enjoyed reading this book. Like, like, like
