I Married My Mortal Enemy After I Was Reborn

Lin Jiuzhu was born into an unknown dynasty and, with her martial skills, loyally followed her lord. In the end, however, her suspicious lord sent her to her death with a cup of poisoned wine.

After she died, her soul drifted above the chaotic world for several years.

In the first year, she saw Pei Jingnian, the chancellor of an enemy kingdom, pay his respects to her without missing a single festival.

Lin Jiuzhu thought, She and Pei Jingnian had fought each other her entire life. That scoundrel must be there to laugh at her!

In the second year, Pei Jingnian assassinated the emperor and seized the throne.

In the fifth year, Pei Jingnian led his army south, destroyed the Chen Kingdom where Lin Jiuzhu had lived, and had the lord who sentenced her to death executed by slicing.

Pei Jingnian never married in his lifetime. In the end, he killed himself beside her tombstone.

Lin Jiuzhu: ???

.

When she opened her eyes again, Lin Jiuzhu had returned to the day she first met her lord.

Without looking back, she fled. After riding for two days and two nights, she arrived at Pei Jingnian's home.

At the time, Pei Jingnian had yet to enter official service. Dressed in a blue robe, tall and slender, with black hair falling down his back, he stood in a humble farmhouse courtyard like a pine or cypress, holding a book. He looked refined and elegant.

Lin Jiuzhu kicked open the flimsy bamboo fence gate and met the man's surprised gaze. "Marry me. I'll sell flatbreads to support you from now on."

Pei Jingnian gazed at her for a long while, then actually brought out all his possessions and went with her to a bustling little town, where they opened a tiny flatbread shop.

In this life, the turmoil of the realm was no longer their concern.

Lin Jiuzhu thought that the fate of the realm, its kings and nobles, could never compare to staying by Pei Jingnian's side and growing old with him.
