In her previous life, Su Zhixia, the cherished daughter of the Su family, gave her whole heart to Jiang Chengyu, Marquis of Yongning. For three years she humbled herself to the dirt, only to discover that her husband had secretly schemed against her and forced her to drink abortifacient soup every day, robbing her of her ability to bear children.
Reborn, she returned to the scene three years earlier, where her carriage plunged off a cliff. Before her eyes, Jiang Chengyu, who had also been reborn, unhesitatingly abandoned her, trapped inside the crushed carriage, and turned to save his beloved, Xie Wantang, with all his strength.
This time, Su Zhixia’s heart turned completely cold. She no longer felt the slightest attachment and resolutely let him go.
Just days after Jiang Chengyu came to break off their engagement, she turned around and married Yang Bo, the capital garrison officer who had saved her life when her carriage fell. Their whirlwind wedding left the entire capital speechless.
Jiang Chengyu assumed she was merely throwing a tantrum and playing hard to get. Convinced she would eventually come back to him in tears, he spent his days waiting to laugh at her.
But what awaited him was Su Zhixia taking over the Su family’s cloth shops, expanding their supply of Jiangnan brocade, and creating a new product called “Cloud Cotton.” In just a few months, she monopolized the capital’s fabric market and became a business tycoon far beyond his reach. It was the “ordinary garrison officer” Yang Bo, whom he had scorned, revealing his true identity as the eldest legitimate son of the Defender General’s household, a powerful aristocrat who commanded 30,000 imperial troops stationed outside the capital. Most devastating of all, Su Zhixia, whose body had been ruined by abortifacient soup in her previous life and who had struggled to conceive, gave birth to two sons for Yang Bo in three years in this life, and now had their third child safely growing in her womb.
Thus began, amid the lively bustle of the capital, a long-delayed and spectacular journey of chasing his wife after losing her.
