Shen Qingyu's uncle goes on a matchmaking date with a widow who has a son from a previous marriage. On the day they meet, the boy behind the woman grins, drool trickling down his fingers, looking utterly foolish.
The hairs on Shen Qingyu's arms stand on end. Is he really an idiot?
In her past life, Shen Qingyu's uncle fell for a widow he met through matchmaking. Defying his family's objections, he insisted on marrying her.
The widow had a boy with her, one with an intellectual disability. Apart from his mother, nobody liked him.
Neither did Shen Qingyu.
She often bullied him, made him eat dirt, tricked him into eating salt, drinking vinegar, and licking chili water, and joined others in playing pranks on him.
The boy's eyes were always damp like a puppy's, full of hurt and sorrow.
Little by little, Shen Qingyu came to accept him.
Less than two years later, the widow died, and her uncle took his own life to join her.
The boy lost his mother and his stepfather.
Her grandmother hated the widow for taking her son away, so she took the intellectually disabled boy out and abandoned him.
Shen Qingyu searched for him for four whole years.
At last, she found him, and the two shared a brief time of love and companionship.
But their fate was too short, and Shen Qingyu lost him again.
This time, with death between them, how can she find peace?
They say a nephew takes after his uncle, and a mother after her son.
Like her uncle, Shen Qingyu is deeply devoted and stubborn. Unable to get past the obstacle in her heart, she insists on asking for another life.
The boy is as beautiful as his mother.
After being reborn, Shen Qingyu has lost the memories of her past life. The gears of fate begin turning, and her story with him unfolds once more.
She hopes she won't lose him again this time.
