[Fake heiress in a tangled love triangle + her ex becomes her nephew + the capital's devout Buddhist breaks his vows for her]
In her previous life, Ye Suwan was pushed into the river by her fiancé, Jiang Yichen, and her stepsister, Su Wan'er, and died with bitter resentment. After her death, Jiang Yichen's cold-hearted younger uncle, Zhou Shiyue, claimed her body and buried her deep in the maple forest. He visited her grave for five years, until he died young.
Reborn at eighteen, she tears up her engagement contract, exposes her stepsister's scandals, and uses her mother's keepsakes and her talent for appraising antiques to reclaim her identity as the Su family's true heiress, step by step. She believes she has returned to live only for revenge, until Zhou Shiyue corners her at the end of the corridor in Junlan Court, his voice hoarse and burning: “I failed to protect you in our last life. I'll make it up to you in this one.”
Later, at a grand banquet in the Jiang family ancestral hall, Jiang Yichen respectfully offers Ye Suwan tea in front of the entire clan, gritting his teeth as he calls her, “Aunt-in-law.”
She takes the tea and smiles faintly. “Good boy, Yichen.”
