Yuli got engaged at fifteen. Her betrothed was the only scholar in the ten villages around them.

Three years later, he was still just a scholar, while Yuli was called too beautiful and too good at tempting men, accused by his mother of ruining her son's future. The engagement was broken off.

After that, rumors spread everywhere that Yuli was no respectable woman, that she knew how to lure men, had met with men in secret, and was no longer a virgin. Hounded by the gossip, the promising young woman took her own life.

When Yuli woke again, she was back on the day of her engagement three years earlier. The matchmaker and neighbors all praised the scholar for his academic honors and boundless prospects. They also said her birth charts matched his perfectly and that she would bring him good fortune.

Yuli knew it was the words “bring him good fortune” that had made the scholar's family want to marry her into their household.

Yuli sneered. “He's far above my reach!”

Everyone in the surrounding villages was watching the marriage prospects of Yuli, who was “too proud to look down” and had no interest in the scholar. But no one expected her to become engaged to Zhao Yan, the poor, taciturn man from the village.

Later, the court conscripted soldiers, and Zhao Yan was sent off to war. A few years later, he returned as a deputy general under a powerful general.

Yuli: “??? Wasn't he supposed to be a fifth-rank commander three years from now? How did he become a deputy general of the second rank?”

Three years later, Zhao Yan, who had once been simple and taciturn, returned with the memories of another lifetime. That very night, he cornered Yuli against the wall.

“Wife, would you tell me why you chose me over that scholar back then? Was it because you were desperate to find a husband after turning the scholar down? Or were you tempted by the prospect of becoming the wife of a fifth-rank commander? Are you satisfied now as the wife of a second-rank deputy general?”

Yuli stared at Zhao Yan in shock...

A dual rebirth story, sweet romance, and a tale of taking down scoundrels, fighting villains, and face-slapping.
