Two years ago, the General's household offended the Crown Prince. Some were exiled, while the rest were enslaved. Shen Yin, the pampered young lady of the General's household, had no choice but to cling to life in her maternal uncle's home.
An imperial decree arranged a marriage, but her cousin fled with her lover.
To repay her uncle's family for their kindness, Shen Yin had no choice but to take her cousin's place and marry Lin Ze.
Lin Ze inherited his title as a young man and became the youngest Duke of the dynasty. Unfortunately, he has thrown in his lot with the Crown Prince and is no good man.
Shen Yin is terrified of him. If he discovers who she is, he might kill her or hand her over to the Crown Prince.
On their wedding night, Lin Ze found her osmanthus-scented sachet. He gently handed it back and said, "If I'd known you liked the scent of osmanthus, I would have changed the wedding wine to osmanthus wine."
Shen Yin froze. Had he already recognized her?
At first, she didn't suspect anything. But whenever they shared a bed, she dreamed of the young man from the Lin family she had once admired. He was as bright and vivid as ever.
Aside from his face, he was nothing like the boy she remembered. And yet, sometimes, she found herself mistaking Duke Ningguo Lin Ze for the boy he had been.
*
What she didn't know was that she was a frequent visitor in Lin Ze's dreams, too.
"Xiao Yin, don't be afraid. I'll help you," he murmured in his sleep, tender as water.

Blurb:
Lu Yuning was born with an unlucky yin fate. In her previous life, people had considered her a jinx ever since she was a child.
At home, her grandparents blamed her for her parents' deaths. When she was fifteen, they planned to sell her to a man more than fifty years old, but luckily she escaped. At school, her classmates said she had caused her first love's death and shunned her coldly.
She spent most of her life tormenting herself, until she encountered metaphysics in her old age...
Reborn at age twenty, she finds her uncle's family at her door, trying to marry her off to that old man again. She immediately starts a livestream on her phone:
"This is my uncle. Girls, want to know why he suddenly wants to sell me? Because he borrowed from loan sharks and can't pay them back! Remember his face and run if you see him. People this unlucky bring misfortune to everyone around them!"
Her uncle completely lost it on the spot. "You're the jinx!"
Lu Yuning: "The police will be here in five minutes."
The viewers were amazed: [You can even figure that out?]
Lu Yuning: "No, I called them."
That day, Lu Yuning became famous overnight.
A typical livestream:
"Girl, instead of tormenting yourself, torment someone else. There's nothing wrong with you. If your scumbag boyfriend cheated, that's his problem. Dump him and use his money to keep a pretty young guy!"
"What, your parents beat you? Oh, I just read your fortune. You're not their biological child! Your real parents are the richest family in Longcheng!"
At first, plenty of people thought this was a new way for an influencer to drum up publicity. Later, they discovered that this female streamer might seem wild and erratic, but she was like a living oracle: whatever she said came true. She could see into the past and predict the future. Gradually, people's opinions changed.

[Master, can you tell me when I'll get back together with my ex?](Ghost comment)
Lu Yuning stared at the ghost's username, lost in thought. Wasn't this her first love, the one who had died young and whom she had never gotten over???
*After being reborn, the heroine is a top-tier master, but she is a metaphysical prodigy who worked incredibly hard to become a master. She is exceptionally strong-willed.
