The bird's nest she had stewed for three years could not earn him a serious look. He shielded another woman from the wind, but thought her sneezing was "noisy."
In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China, Pei Yunshu had been a "respectable" fiancée in the Shen Mansion for three years, but what was waiting for her was a letter of marriage change and the cold eyes of the whole hall. When everyone thought she would swallow her grievance and continue to bow her head, she put down her food box, returned her engagement jade pendant, turned around and walked out of the door that had never been opened to her.
Breaking off the engagement was her first step in the mud. But the road ahead is not an easy one - the mother's tears, outsiders' words, Shen Mingjue's belated entanglement, and the gentle Xu Yuan who hides his sword are pressing every step of the way. Until she walked into Gu's house and met the man who spoke little but meant what he said.
He blocked the Shen family's troubles for her and said, "What you do with the Gu family is something you earned yourself and no one can take it away."
On the one hand, there is the awakening pursuit of the old man, and on the other hand, the silent and deep protection of the new man. What Pei Yunshu has to choose has never been who loves her more - but that she finally dares to live for herself.
When debt meets determination, when disappointment meets new life - this time, she will not look back.
