In her previous life, Chahua came from a humble background and was gentle and soft-spoken. But because she had a beautiful, graceful face, people grew jealous and ruined her reputation.
Everyone in the surrounding villages waited to laugh at her, sneering that she'd never find a husband.
Later, Zheng Ting, a trusted aide to the crown prince who had returned home in glory, carried her into his home in an eight-person sedan chair. He doted on her, making the other young women grind their teeth with envy.
But Zheng Ting had suffered from a young age and was in poor health. He passed away in less than two years.
Chahua died not long afterward, overcome by grief. Their story became a beloved tale of the time.
When Chahua woke again, she had returned to the age of fifteen.
That year, Zheng Ting was still healthy, and her reputation was still intact.
She immediately took her money and went to Zheng Ting's shabby little house.
"Husband, I've come to bring myself a dowry."
When Zheng Ting was on his own, he went "foraging for food" with a fierce look on his face, happy as long as he could get a third of a meal.
Then his wife came to him herself. She was delicate and frail, and needed a cup of warm water to wash down a bun!
--Forget it, I'd better earn more money. She's so skinny, she needs to eat something good.
--Forget it, I'd better get a different house. She's so soft and delicate, she needs a proper place to live.
Zheng Ting: Honestly, what a sweet burden.
