Lin Miao was reborn at eighteen, back when she still had her voice. Her sweet, gentle singing had earned her the nickname "Little Lark" in the village.
To avoid Shen Xian, the devil who would later imprison her and poison her until she lost her voice, Lin Miao changed her college application and chose a university thousands of miles away from the one she'd attended in her previous life.
On her first day, she saw the cold-faced boy in her classroom and nearly burst into tears.
Why was Shen Xian here?!
A simple, innocent-looking girl named "Lin Mei" joined the freshmen, with fair, dewy skin. Unfortunately, she had a stutter.
"A stutterer?" Shen Xian sneered.
Only he knew that her singing sounded like heaven, and her cries were sweeter than a lark's song.
Later...
Shen Xian shamelessly insisted that Lin Miao take him to see her mountain home. He claimed he wanted to get back to nature, but really, he wanted to impress his future father-in-law.
The result?
Shen Xian stared at the mines stretching across the mountains and was left speechless. He forced a smile and said, "I thought you said you were so poor you had to eat dirt?"
Lin Miao clutched her head in fright. "It's yours. You can have all the gold mines. Just stop smiling, you're scary."
[Bonus Scene]
Wherever Shen Xian went, Lin Miao tried to avoid him.
She thought she was being discreet, but she didn't realize that this only made her stand out more.
One day, the devil cornered her against a wall.
Shen Xian pinched the rabbit ears on her clothes, looking languid and nonchalant. "You dislike me that much?"
Lin Miao pressed her lips together and refused to make a sound, even if it killed her.
Shen Xian glanced at the tips of her ears, red as could be, and fixed his gaze on her. "If you don't speak, I'll kiss you!"
The very next second...
Before Lin Miao could refuse, his lips sealed hers.
"Say one word to me, and I'll give you my heart and my life."
