[Sweet, doting romance with a growing-up arc + happy ending + slow-burn development]
[Cold on the outside, warm on the inside • falls first • gifted male lead x timid and insecure at first, then confident and radiant • slow-to-warm, oblivious female lead]
In her previous life, An Chuxing spent her whole life struggling and scheming to secure a place in the trillion-yuan Fu family. She never imagined that Fu Zheng, the son she had raised with such hardship, would fall for Qiao Rui, a girl from an impoverished village.
She did everything she could to break them up.
In the end, Qiao Rui died by suicide, jumping from a building after falling into depression, and her son died young after following her in death.
An Chuxing was consumed by regret. She wished she could turn back time.
Reborn, she resolved to learn from her mistakes and make things right.
“Son, come with Mom!”
“Where are we going?”
“To bring home your future wife!”
An Chuxing thought everything would go smoothly this time, but her son’s journey to win his wife’s heart proved long and arduous.
What she never expected was that the girl she’d looked down on in her previous life would become irresistible to men and women alike in this one!
[The main story is told from the male and female leads’ perspectives]
[The characters are flawed; only the mother-in-law is reborn; the mother-in-law’s husband has a minor role]
