    A story of past and present lives × a tale of unrequited love between two women! The opening is a brutal shock—one second she's on her wedding night, pinned against the French windows by her childhood sweetheart, her breath escaping as he whispers, "Sweetie, call me." The next second, she wakes up on a bus, blurting out to a younger version of Qin Yichi, "Husband~" (Qiao Zhen: Is it too late to switch planets now?!) Qin Yichi, the "crazy fishing god" of unrequited love—outwardly a cold, aloof guy: "Oh? Old dog?" Inwardly a volcano erupting: "She called me husband! We're getting married right now!!!" His words are sarcastic, but his hands pull Qiao Zhen even tighter into his arms, his heart pounding deafeningly beneath his jacket. The most amazing thing is that he updates his unrequited love diary that very night. And then, in the very end, Qiao Zhen suddenly realizes—the French windows of her wedding night in her past life are exactly the same as the layout of Qin Yichi's bedroom in this life!

These kinds of people are incredibly ruthless when it comes to protecting themselves from mistresses; he has the strength and skill to fight for favor. It's all very subtle and suspenseful.
