The bad news: I'm reborn as Xu Damao, the top villain of the courtyard!
The good news: I've returned to my wedding night, and my lovely wife, Lou Xiao'e, is still here!
In my previous life, everyone turned against me, and I spent my final years in misery. This time, I'm going to turn over a new leaf!
From the start, I dropped to my knees with a thud and swore to my wife that I'd be a good man. Little did I know that the whole courtyard of scoundrels would take my kneeling as a sign I was plotting some earth-shattering scheme!
My sworn enemy, Silly Zhu, is on guard at every turn, while Third Uncle's abacus is clicking away!
With memories from decades in the future, I say one thing that opens my father-in-law's eyes and saves the Lou family's vast fortune! I step in anonymously to save Silly Zhu's iron rice bowl, only to be treated like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken!
Xu Damao is on the verge of tears: I'm really not putting on an act. I just want to be a good man. Why won't any of you believe me?!
Xu Damao is an upright, clear-minded, scheming, and fair-minded person.
