The Swallow Returns

Female Lead's Story:

Her father placed among the successful candidates in both imperial examinations and serves as a Vice Minister in the Ministry of Rites. Her mother is the illegitimate daughter of a marquis. Though Yun Yiwan is not from one of the most distinguished families in the capital, a city full of powerful clans, she is certainly no commoner. As the legitimate daughter of the Yun family, she grew up wanting for nothing, with a comfortable and affluent life. But when her cousin Ying from her maternal uncle's family dies in childbirth, her peaceful life is thrown into disarray. She is forced to marry into the Marquis of Dingbei's household as his second wife. Four months into her pregnancy, she suffers a miscarriage and dies from excessive blood loss.

When she opens her eyes, she has returned to three years earlier. Her cousin is not yet married, and she has only just come to the capital with her parents.

Looking at her mother, who is as stern with her as ever, Yun Yiwan's thoughts grow heavy. In her previous life, she could never understand why her mother favored her cousin Ying from her maternal uncle's family, or why, after Ying died in childbirth, she forced Yun Yiwan to become the marquis's second wife and care for Ying's newborn son. And when Yun Yiwan became pregnant and returned home full of joy, her parents showed no happiness at all, only complicated expressions.

Since Heaven has given her another chance, she wants to understand the truth this time.

Sheng Huaijun, heir to the Marquis of Pingbei, is noble-born, handsome and aloof, and a brave warrior. He's the husband every noblewoman in the capital dreams of marrying.

The fourth young lady of the Grand Tutor's residence, Jiang Mi, has always been raised in the countryside. She's uncouth and has nothing to recommend her besides her looks.

The two of them had no connection at all, until she saves the young prince and an imperial decree of marriage binds them together.

Everyone feels sorry for Sheng Huaijun, and countless noblewomen weep into their handkerchiefs.

When the army returns victorious, Sheng Huaijun learns that the emperor has arranged his marriage.

"It's only marriage. It makes no difference who I marry." He accepts the news without even lifting his eyes.

As for her lack of manners and education, he can teach her little by little.

Jiang Mi wakes from a nap and discovers that she has returned to three years earlier, before she married Sheng Huaijun.

Looking back on those three years, it feels like she lived through a long nightmare.

She married into the marquis's household as the fourth young lady of the Grand Tutor's family, but Sheng Huaijun never thought highly of her.

Before the wedding, he arranged for a governess to teach her etiquette and manners. After the wedding, he had people teach her music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, trying to mold her into his ideal beloved.

She was like a bird in a cage, with no freedom.

In this life, she wants to live for herself and be no one's replacement.

But despite all her efforts and the different path she takes from her previous life, the imperial decree of marriage still arrives.

What on earth is going on?

After being reborn, Sheng Huaijun discovers that his wife has another man in her heart.

At first, he doesn't think much of it. Later, jealousy drives him mad.

He has to admit that marriage isn't the same no matter whom you marry.

The only person he has ever wanted to marry is the fourth young lady of the Jiang family.
