1.

Lin Jinglu comes from a top-tier wealthy family. She has been gentle and well-behaved since childhood, but that's only how she acts in public. Whenever she runs into her sworn enemy next door, her true colors show at once.

Their verbal sparring, barbed remarks, and constant clashes are all part of daily life. Neither will ever back down.

Until one day, a new patient shows up at her psychiatric clinic.

Lin Jinglu puts on her white coat and goes to see him herself.

The moment she opens the door, she spots a man in the hallway, struggling like a madman against several security guards. His black hair is disheveled, his collar is tugged askew, and he keeps shouting that he wants to find his wife.

Most importantly, he has a face exactly like her sworn enemy's.

The moment their eyes meet, the man pulls her tightly into his arms. His voice is full of grievance. "Wife! I finally found you. They were all bullying me!"

Lin Jinglu: ?

What on earth is he calling me?

She tries to diagnose him. "You have delusions."

The man is stubborn. "But you really are my wife."

Lin Jinglu: "..."

As the two of them struggle together, Lin Jinglu looks up.

In the shadows of the hallway stands a tall figure, watching it all. His eyes are filled with fury, but the moment he meets her gaze, it vanishes, leaving only mockery and defiance.

That's the sworn enemy she knows.

2.

On the third day after marrying Lin Jinglu, Shang Shixu transmigrates.

The moment he wakes up, he runs off to find his wife.

But someone tricks him into going to a psychiatric hospital. Fortunately, he really does find his wife again. The bad news is...

Feeling his wife's impatience, as if even looking at him for a second would sully her eyes, Shang Shixu belatedly realizes he has transmigrated six years into the past.

It was the year he and Lin Jinglu fought the most fiercely.

They wanted each other dead. They were true sworn enemies.

Shang Shixu: "It took me five years to win her over. How did I wake up and find everything reset to factory settings?!"

3.

When Shang Yu learns that six years in the future, he will not only marry Lin Jinglu but also be the one to pursue her, loving her with every fiber of his being, he scoffs and swears he will never follow that misguided path.

But as he watches the man with his exact same face increasingly often flirt with Lin Jinglu and beg her for kisses, an unprecedented jealousy gnaws at his heart, growing more intense by the day.

He wants to take her for himself. He wants her all to himself.

They're the same person. Why should the other one get to have her?

So one night, he corners her outside her bedroom. He grips the back of her neck with one hand and pins Lin Jinglu tightly against his chest, kissing her until she can hardly breathe. Their breaths mingle, charged with intimacy.

His voice low and hoarse, he coaxes the woman in his arms, her eyes hazy from his kisses. "Only looking at him is no fun. Why not look at me too?"

Footsteps draw closer from inside the room. Lin Jinglu's heart jumps, and she tries to push Shang Yu away.

But the man catches her hand and bends to kiss her again, his thin lips brushing the corner of her mouth.

"Xiao Lu, either you say yes to me..."

"Or I'll open the door right now and let him see."
