Reborn again and again, ridiculously tough, hardcore genius girl VS unmoved by temptation, loves mysticism more than the family business, looks expressionless but is truly ruthless, old charlatan
The whole imperial capital was thrown into an uproar overnight!
The Gu family's pampered youngest daughter had gotten engaged!
And her fiance was supposedly the hideously ugly old man from the Wang family?
The news threw the entire Gu family into chaos.
Eldest brother Gu Xiaoye: I object! That old charlatan is old enough to be our little darling's father. Are you sure you're not sending her straight into a fire pit?
Second brother Gu Xiaoxiang: Gu Yuan, I beg you to have a heart! Our darling is so innocent and sweet. There's no way she can stand up to that old charlatan. He'll swallow her whole and not leave you a single bone!
Third brother Gu Xiaoji: As her father, don't you feel the slightest bit of concern? He's terrifying and hideous! I'm taking our darling and eloping with her!
Old Master Gu: Sigh, I'm in a bind. Gu Baobei is willing, so what can I do?
No one could have imagined that on the day the Gu family's cherished baby turned one month old, she grabbed the sleeve of the passing Wang Xiuran and refused to let go.
(One-month-old Gu Baobei's inner monologue: Wang Xiuran, give me my life back!)
Even more surprising, eighteen years later, the Gu family's little darling threw a fit and threatened to kill herself, using a family-arranged marriage as an excuse to send herself to the bed of that strange “old man.”
(Gu Baobei: I'm going to kill him! Kill him!!)
Because of Wang Xiuran, Gu Baobei had been reborn three times. Gritting her teeth, she decided that this time she would kill that old charlatan who was her unlucky match before he could get to her!
The leads are sixteen years apart in age (P.S. The male lead isn't old. The female lead has been reborn three times, all because of him.)
Theme: You can't escape what's destined.
