[Reborn + rapid-fire face-slapping + tearing into the scheming green tea + becoming the scumbag’s uncle’s wife + devoted, fatherly pampering + one-on-one, both leads inexperienced in love]
In her past life, Shen Qing was betrayed by her scumbag fiancé and a calculating green tea, driven to ruin, and left to die in the icy river.
Given another life, Shen Qing finally sees things clearly.
To hell with being lovesick! She refuses to torment herself. From now on, she’ll make a scene and let everyone else suffer instead!
Her scumbag fiancé abandons her for the green tea?
Shen Qing sneers, flings a ledger showing the missing funds in front of everyone, and kicks him to the curb without hesitation. “The engagement is off! Whoever wants this trash can have him!”
The green tea pretends to have a heart attack to gain sympathy?
Shen Qing immediately sticks a needle into her. “I’ve studied first aid. A little bloodletting will do the trick!”
As Shen Qing sets out to reclaim her family’s fortune and build her career, she turns her attention to the scumbag’s uncle, the powerful, unapproachable Fu Jinchi, the dreaded “Living King of Hell” of the capital’s elite circle.
One day, the scumbag finally regrets everything. With red eyes, he blocks the entrance to her villa in the rain and begs pathetically, “Qingqing, I was wrong. I never loved her. Please, won’t you come back to me?”
The famously cold and heartless Living King of Hell appears in a black silk robe, looking languid and regal.
He wraps one arm possessively around Shen Qing and looks down at the scumbag outside, his gaze as sharp as a blade.
“Why are you barking outside your elder’s house in the middle of the night?”
His long, elegant fingers squeeze Shen Qing’s waist, and his voice turns husky and enticing.
“Why haven’t you greeted him yet? This is your aunt by marriage.”
