Ji Huan died on a cold, rainy day.
In his ears, his mother called him an ill omen. His boyfriend asked, "Can his blood still be used for Weiwei?" And Ji Wei,
his beloved younger brother, had his arm around his boyfriend and wore a gloating smile.
Ji Huan thought his life had ended there. He never expected to open his eyes again and find himself back on the day of the banquet he had attended before his death.

The banquet was supposed to celebrate a powerful man's engagement, but his intended spouse had fled the wedding, terrified of the violent man.
Ji Huan knew the powerful man's gravely ill grandfather liked obedient marriage partners. He also knew that a year later, the man would be assassinated in secret over a deal with Italy.
Watching the man sit above them, his face gloomy and a smile tugging at his lips as he enjoyed the Ji family's commotion,
Ji Huan summoned his courage, stepped forward, and took his hand.
"Sir, I'll be very obedient."
"I'll help you. I'll make a very good tool."
"So, would you consider marrying me?"
Lu Wangyuan looked at the reckless little thing and smiled with interest.
"All right," he said.

Everyone from H City's elite families thought the Ji family's adopted son had gone crazy.
He would stop at nothing to climb the social ladder, despite being a poor match for his intended. He was foolish and didn't even know it. Surely he would be thrown out in disgrace any moment.
All the powerful families waited for the little nobody to meet his downfall so they could put their own children in his place. But even after the Ji family collapsed and Young Master Ji begged on the streets,
Ji Huan still held that man's hand, soft and sweet, and attended one important banquet after another.
Meanwhile, everyone who had ever made things difficult for Ji Huan vanished without a trace, one by one.
The wealthy young men and women who resented him waited and waited. At last, one day, word spread that the Ji family's adopted son had been injured and taken to the hospital.
They all thought that country bumpkin Ji Huan must have gotten too big for his boots and had his hands and feet broken by the powerful man. Some even dreamed of becoming a Madam of the Lu family.
But when they opened the next day's morning paper, the headline showed a photo of the powerful man, red-eyed and disheveled, rushing breathlessly into the hospital.
Everyone was swept up in the somber mood, while Ji Huan, after seeing that his wound was only an inch long, climbed over the hospital wall and escaped that very day while no one was looking.
Yay! I've repaid my debt!
Grandpa will be better soon, and my savings already have plenty of zeroes! I can get divorced, buy a house, and adopt a dog so I can live freely! I'm so happy!
Goodbye, big mansion! Goodbye, luxury car! Goodbye, powerful man...
Lu Wangyuan: Huanhuan, what did you say? (kindly.jpg)
Ji Huan: B-big hubby QAQ
