Rebirth + redemption + older woman/younger man romance
Strong, clever heroine + scheming, brooding younger man
In her previous life, Wu Jinli's business venture failed, leaving her bankrupt and back at the old family home. By chance, she was reborn at eighteen. She had hoped to live her life over and avoid every pitfall, but unexpectedly ended up living with the two Xie brothers, notorious in her previous life. As they spent time together, their old misunderstandings gradually faded away.
She thought she was headed for a happy ending, but she failed to notice the thoughts they kept hidden in their hearts. By the time their true feelings came to light, only endless obsession and pain remained.
At eighteen, Xie Zhengzhou asked Wu Jinli through tears, “If you didn't love me, why did you choose to hold me?”
At twenty, Xie Zhengzhou knelt before her, begging her not to leave him.
At twenty-six, Xie Zhengzhou finally made her his wife. He had always known she harbored hatred in her heart. He had seen the malicious look in her eyes late at night.
But what did that matter?
He was happy. As long as he could enjoy even one moment of feeling as if he were in heaven, he was happy.
