Reborn on the eve of being sent to the Xie family for marriage, Shen Liuyun chose to break off the engagement without hesitation.
In her previous life, she married into the richest man's family in the south of the Yangtze River, but she only got endless humiliation and a glass of poisonous wine. This time, she took only a maid and a young bodyguard, and traveled south lightly, vowing to cut off the evil fate with her own hands.
On the way, they took shelter from the rain and destroyed a temple, but were hijacked by bandits. In a desperate situation, she made a desperate move: "Whoever is willing to protect me will be rewarded!"
On the beam, the pale and handsome young man in black landed gracefully, "Are you serious about this?"
He became her hired guard, taciturn but unfathomably powerful. Along the way, from an estranged employer to a life-and-death partner, undercurrents of affection quietly arise.
It wasn't until he collapsed from poisonous hair that she realized that he was no ordinary charlatan at all.
In order to save him, she resolutely gave up her plan and stepped into a more dangerous puzzle, seeking medical advice and risking her life.
Until she walked around in circles and finally stood in front of the magnificent gate of Xie's family in Jiangnan.
Inside the door, the "fiancé" she had never met, who she had thought was seriously ill and was about to die, was sitting leisurely on the head of the house, playing with the divorce letter she had left behind with his pale fingertips, and smiled at her:
"Madam, you hired me to protect you all the way. How should we settle this account?"
Only then did she realize that the sickly guard she had picked up was clearly the legendary rich man of the Xie family who was about to die - the richest man in the crazy batch.
