[Period setting + reborn and choosing a different path + marriage before love + both leads reborn + no mercy for the villains]
In her previous life, Ruan Nianyao somehow became the villain who supposedly crawled into her stepsister's fiancé's bed and stole her match, bearing a lifetime of shame.
Shen Huai'an married her out of a sense of responsibility, but never touched her again!
Unwilling to spend her life alone in a loveless marriage, she decisively asked for a divorce. Shen Huai'an refused and used the fact that he had once saved her life to keep her by his side.
Only in old age did she learn that Shen Huai'an and Ruan Qingqing had been carrying on behind her back all along, using the so-called debt of a life-saving favor to turn her into their blood bank.
Reborn on the day she slept with Shen Huai'an, Ruan Nianyao swore she would never make the same mistakes again.
She would leave the scumbag and his mistress to each other, and find someone else to cure her poison.
She planned to walk away afterward, but the man wouldn't let her go.
“You slept with me and think you can run? Not a chance.”
