In her previous life, for his sake, she refused to take the ordinary path and even tried to cultivate from a human into a turtle.
Uh... All right, actually, she could only blame her poor background in her previous life. Her general knowledge was limited, and her knowledge of biology even more so. She took one tiny, tiny, tiny wrong turn. She failed to become a turtle and instead turned into a relative of one: a terrapin, also known as a softshell turtle.
She had wanted to follow the stories in those old romance books, starting with meeting him and growing close, spending her days and nights by his side, and letting things develop into something or other. But in the end, at least she hadn't disgraced her "identity," and had ended up just like all her terrapin relatives.
In this life, well, what can she say? Fate has brought them together again...
Damn~~~this plot
