[Transmigrated drama queen vs. reborn abstinent tough guy]
[Cozy everyday life + occasional antics + mistaken romance + she chases, he runs + happy ending]
Ye Zhixia had just landed a major project when a car accident sent her soul transmigrating into the body of Ye Zhixia, a down-on-her-luck merchant's daughter in Tongling Town.
A month after getting married, the original Ye Zhixia repeatedly cried and threatened to throw herself into the river. She despised her rough husband for being neither gentle nor romantic, and was determined to run away with the scholar Cao Zhexuan. When she finally got her chance, she stole all the money from the house and eloped with Cao Zhexuan to the capital, where she supported his studies. Cao Zhexuan lived up to expectations and passed the palace examination as its third-place graduate. But his true, treacherous nature soon came to light. He looked down on the original Ye Zhixia for her humble origins and past marriage, believing she wasn't worthy of a third-place graduate like him. He handed her over to a colleague, then turned around and married a noblewoman, rising quickly in the world and living a life of ease.
Meanwhile, the original Ye Zhixia's despised rough husband, Huo Huaijin, had built his business in the capital and become immensely wealthy. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, the original Ye Zhixia was bullied by a gang of beggars. At last, she got a steamed bun to fill her stomach. When she looked up, she saw her husband in fine silk robes, with a beauty by his side. Thinking that he was the source of all her life's misery, she went mad and lunged at him. A silver hairpin pierced his heart, but no amount of blood could hide the joy in his eyes. "Finally, finally, I've found you..."
The scene shifted. Huo Huaijin gazed at the sleeping woman before him, his rough hand hovering over her forehead. In this life, I won't cling to you. Once I've saved enough money, I'll let you go.
After he left, Ye Zhixia secretly opened her eyes. That was close. He almost slapped me to death.
