I Was a Spoiled Brat, but Now My Wife Keeps Me

After waking up, Jiang Xu finds herself transmigrated into the body of a notorious wastrel, whose childhood sweetheart and “wife” is none other than Gu Yishu, the elegant and alluring daughter of the richest man, skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. In the future, Gu Yishu will personally end her life. On their wedding night, faced with Gu Yishu’s fury, Jiang Xu can only grit her teeth and pretend to have amnesia. She nervously plays the wastrel, hoping only to stay out of the plot and survive. But she cannot understand why Gu Yishu’s gaze, at first cold and scrutinizing, gradually takes on a searching quality and an indescribable sadness. Gu Yishu knows all too well that the soul inside that body has changed. A Xu, who once risked half her life for her and smiled as she said, “Wait for me to come back,” disappeared when she was nine. She watches coldly as this “foreign soul” occupies her beloved’s body, until the other girl unconsciously uses her signature spear technique and hums a familiar childhood song. Like a thunderclap, it tears through the fog: this is no body snatcher, but a return. Her A Xu was simply lost in another world and forgot the way home. “Gu Yishu, I’m not your A Xu.” “That’s all right,” she says with a soft laugh. “Wherever you came from, I’ve always loved only your soul.”
