Even After Being Reborn, We Still Have to Marry by Contract

After three years of marriage by contract, Bai Sheng and her wife, Tao Yinxiao, have treated each other with respect and never once argued.

When the contract period ended, Bai Sheng wondered whether she should renew it with her wife for a few more years.

After all, both families were happy with the marriage. A sudden divorce would only leave things on a sour note.

But just as she was about to discuss the contract with Tao Yinxiao, the media suddenly broke the news that Tao Yinxiao had spent the night at a hotel with a young starlet, entering at seven in the evening and leaving the next afternoon.

The attention-seeking media slapped a huge headline on it: CEO Tao sure knows how to have a good time!

Bai Sheng laughed when she saw it.

Over the past three years, they had fulfilled their wifely duties, too. It was just that... Tao Yinxiao, who wouldn’t even let Bai Sheng hear her voice during their intimate moments, always so restrained and proper, had this side to her as well.

Bai Sheng hadn’t expected that.

In the end, she simply wasn’t the right person for Tao Yinxiao.

So Bai Sheng promptly signed the divorce papers and moved out of their marital home.

When Tao Yinxiao called, Bai Sheng was still pleasant and gentle as she said, “I’ll tell both our families that I stopped loving you a long time ago.”

That way, Tao Yinxiao wouldn’t be accused of being morally in the wrong.

“...Bai Sheng.” Tao Yinxiao’s voice was hoarse and low. “Did you ever love me?”

Bai Sheng was puzzled. “Were we supposed to be in love?”

Before she could get an answer, damn it, she got into a car accident.

After regaining consciousness, Bai Sheng found herself reborn three years in the past, just as she was about to agree to marry Tao Yinxiao by contract.

The pen was in her hand, and she was about to write her name.

Bai Sheng immediately tossed the pen aside. “Miss Tao, I’ve thought it over. A marriage contract still isn’t a good idea. What if we each meet someone we like later? Wouldn’t that count as cheating?”

She hadn’t expected someone as composed and self-controlled as Tao Yinxiao to get tears in her eyes.

Seriously? All she’d done was turn down the contract.

Bai Sheng was utterly confused. “How about I recommend someone else for you?”

“I only want you.” Tao Yinxiao forcefully pressed the pen into her hand. “Bai Sheng, I can give you anything you want. Even if... you like someone else, that’s fine too.”

Her last few words were so quiet, as if she were speaking through the pain of a broken spine.

Before she knew it, Bai Sheng had signed the marriage contract again.

She must have been out of her mind.

But after getting a second chance at life, Bai Sheng was different.

At the very least, she was going to reclaim her pride in the bedroom.

“CEO Tao, you’re really good at this,” Bai Sheng coaxed gently. “One more time.”

Again and again, until dawn, before she finally let her rest.

-

Bai Sheng admitted that she was captivated by Tao Yinxiao’s beauty. Even knowing that Tao Yinxiao would have someone else in her heart, she was willing to walk the same three-year path all over again.

But she didn’t know there had never been anyone else.

She also didn’t know that Tao Yinxiao had loved her for ten years, ever since the moment they first met.

-

Fortunately, Tao Yinxiao had also been reborn.
