Reborn, I Chose the Easiest Way to Live

In her previous life, Shen Zhiyi’s life seemed perfectly complete.

She was born into a respectable family, married well, and had powerful in-laws. She lived comfortably and securely all her life.

Only as she lay dying did she finally understand:

From the very beginning, she had never been allowed to decide what her life would be.

Given another life, Shen Zhiyi doesn’t want to take any more detours.

She doesn’t seek a passionate romance, nor does she plan to defy fate and change her destiny.

She just wants to choose the easiest, safest way to live.

So, while everyone else was still waiting to see what would happen, she took the initiative and arranged her marriage.

She doesn’t seek deep affection or compete for favor. All she wants is a secure place and a clear way forward.

He is a powerful minister at court who needs a suitable wife;

she is a woman who has lived once before and only wants to make a good life for herself.

This marriage is understood without a word: each gets what they need.

After the wedding, outsiders see only that she is protected within the household and lives a peaceful, comfortable life.

But no one knows that this isn’t fate’s favor.

It’s a choice she planned in advance.

Affection can come with time. Being favored was never part of her plan.

In this life, Shen Zhiyi only wants to live safely and steadily.

As for what happens later,

that can wait until later.
