[Reborn + winning her back after heartbreak + competing suitors + strong heroine + satisfying revenge]

In her previous life, Shu Huan’s parents died saving Qi Xiuming’s father. She was taken in by the Qi family and grew up alongside Qi Xiuming as his childhood sweetheart. Everyone said she was destined to marry him.

Shu Huan believed she was Qi Xiuming’s wife, too.

Eventually, they married as a matter of course. Only after the wedding did she learn that Qi Xiuming didn’t love her at all. He had married her only because his father forced him to.

They spent twenty years living apart, until the day after Qi’s father died, when Qi Xiuming had someone deliver a divorce agreement.

Reborn on the eve of their wedding, Shu Huan forced down her feelings for him and decisively turned down Qi’s father’s proposal that they marry.

She put all the energy she had once poured into Qi Xiuming into building a career.

Later, one accomplished man after another lined up to marry her.
