New book blurb. Please read and add it to your collection!

Shi Yun had grown up privileged, a little sun adored by everyone around her. Then, overnight, she fell into the mire.

Her father, crushed by the burden, jumped to his death. Her mother was bedridden with a serious illness.

Working through the night to raise money for medical expenses, she had her original design stolen by a coworker.

Under crushing pressure, she collapsed on a rain-soaked street.

She only vaguely remembered someone lifting her up and repeatedly calling her name. She did not recognize them at all.

When they met again, the person across from her slid over a three-year marriage contract. His voice was cool: "Sign it. We each get what we need."

Shi Yun knew him, but not because he was the head of the powerful Xu family in Nancheng, or the company's newly installed boss, as her coworkers said.

It was because she had poured coffee all over him just the day before.

Shi Yun refused with righteous indignation: "Mr. Xu, I won't be the other woman."

After marriage, she kept to her boundaries and worked desperately to earn money, wanting nothing more than to settle their accounts and part ways.

But as they spent time together, she gradually lost her heart.

Her old vow remained lodged in her heart, and her pride would not allow her to covet anything.

She tried to get closer, only to discover an insurmountable gulf between them.

The next day, she handed him the divorce papers.

Xu Zhiyan accepted them in silence, without a word.

Shi Yun thought their transactional marriage was over.

*

Many days later, Shi Yun's career reached new heights.

At a friend's family dinner, a drunk Xu Zhiyan suddenly barged in and held her tightly in his arms.

She struggled to no avail. The pounding at the door grew louder and louder, but he bent down and abruptly kissed her.

After a long while, his lips brushed repeatedly against her ear as he murmured in a voice she had never heard from him:

"Don't divorce me, Shi Yun. Don't leave me again..."

(Medical genius with a sharp tongue vs. the short-lived, brooding Fifth Prince)

Reading guide: soul transmigration + reborn + mind reading. Modern and ancient medicine come together.

Good news: Jiang Miao is receiving a medical award.

Bad news: An advertising sign fell on her and killed her.

Good news: She isn't dead. She transmigrated.

Bad news: She's become the vicious female side character, doomed to die without a burial, and she's in the middle of killing someone!

Jiang Miao: It's fine. I can save people.

In the original story, Jiang Miao was the adopted daughter of the Marquis's household. When the real daughter, Lin Qingyue, returned, she not only took Jiang Miao's position as the legitimate daughter, but also stole the marriage match Jiang Miao had fought so hard to secure. Hating Lin Qingyue to the core, Jiang Miao targeted her by any means, but accidentally killed the mother who loved her. On the day Lin Qingyue married the Second Prince, Jiang Miao cut out her heart and took her place in the bridal sedan.

Second Prince: I never loved you. The only one I love is Qingyue.

He ruined her face and threw her into a dungeon to be humiliated, then stripped off her clothes, cut off her hands and feet, and hung her on the city wall for all to see.

For Lin Qingyue's sake, he truly hated her to the core.

After transmigrating, Jiang Miao decides: I need to clear my name and mind my place. I'll actively bring Lin Qingyue and the Second Prince together, and pray day and night that their love remains steadfast, that they live in perfect harmony and have a house full of children and grandchildren. Then I can surely avoid my gruesome fate.

After returning to the estate, Jiang Miao sees the man she saved standing before her with a gloomy expression. She rubs her eyes in disbelief: This man is the Fifth Prince? The Fifth Prince who died ages ago? If I knew he was going to die anyway, why did I save him!

Fifth Prince: Hm? I'm dead?

Wait, how can I hear this woman's thoughts?

Jiang Miao thinks that knowing the original story will let her safely avoid danger and make it to the ending.

But everything she knows is only the tip of the iceberg beneath a vast conspiracy.

Because of her involvement, the mother who was supposed to die and the Fifth Prince both survived, setting off a chain of butterfly effects.

All she wanted was to save her mother. Being the legitimate daughter didn't matter, and it would be even better not to marry. She could stay in the estate and live out her days with them in peace.

But fate has other plans. Unless she parts the fog and searches for the truth, she will remain a sacrificial pawn forever.

Theme: Better to live miserably than die well. Treasure life and stay away from doing evil.
