The Marquess’s Wife Is Reborn

On her wedding day, Rong Dai lifted her veil and called off the marriage in front of everyone.

Reborn, she was no longer the virtuous mistress who had once lived cautiously in the Zhou family and died coughing up blood.

In this life, all she wanted was money and freedom.

She rented shops, built a business, and made her mother’s dowry prosper.

As for the man whose proposal she had rejected, Zhou Zimu, the eldest legitimate son of an aristocratic family and the universally admired unattainable heartthrob of the capital, he was disciplined, courteous, and seemingly perfect.

At first, he thought the broken engagement had merely cost him face.

Then she began appearing in his dreams night after night, the visions terrifyingly real. He “saw” her from her past life: gentle and long-suffering, ignored and mistreated until she wasted away and died…

The deeper the dreams grew, the more he lost his mind.

He awkwardly learned to make the pastries she loved, lost his composure at court because of her, knelt in public to ask for her hand, and even gave up his right to inherit the family fortune for her.

Faced with his long-overdue, overwhelming attempts to make amends, Rong Dai only smiled faintly. “Young Master Zhou, I don’t need it.”

She had once died because he “never saw” her.

This time, how could he prove that seeing her and loving her wasn’t just another illusion?

(Both are each other’s first, one-on-one romance, the long road to winning her back, and a second chance at love.)
