Yun Chi, the legitimate son of the Yun family, has become a cripple after the spiritual core in his dantian was destroyed. Most of the time, he's incoherent and unable to speak, and he needs the Li family's secret technique to stay alive.
The Yun and Li families agree to a marriage alliance in exchange for mutual benefits. But on the day of the ceremony, something goes wrong. The person who forms a bond with Yun Chi isn't the eldest daughter of the Li family, as originally arranged, but Li Miaomiao, an unremarkable member of the family.
Li Miaomiao is reborn, only to open her eyes and find the Yun and Li families confronting her and demanding answers. She nearly faints all over again.
In her previous life, she was desperate to prove her innocence. In the end, she died horribly and earned a terrible reputation. Everyone said she was a scheming woman who stole her cousin's engagement, and a villain who used Yun Chi's life to threaten the Yun family.
In this new life, Li Miaomiao decides to give up trying and live up to all those accusations.
The eldest Li daughter accuses Li Miaomiao of defiling her beloved white moonlight.
Li Miaomiao: That's right. I sleep beside him every day and kiss him wherever I want!
The Yun family scolds her for being obsessed with profit.
Li Miaomiao: That's right. I'm after Yun Chi's money. I've even been using his top-grade spiritual artifacts as toys!
The elders say she's shameless, and that they would have kicked her out of the family long ago if she hadn't formed a bond with Yun Chi.
Li Miaomiao: That's right. It's because you can't find a way to undo the secret technique. He's stuck with me for life!
Li Miaomiao spends her days arguing with people and her nights cuddling Yun Chi. At last, she figures out how to undo the secret technique.
She's about to undo it and make a quick getaway when Yun Chi, now clear-headed and eloquent, blocks her at the back door.
Yun Chi: You are not undoing our bond.
Li Miaomiao: You...?
Yun Chi: Didn't you say we'd be together for life?
Li Miaomiao: I didn't...?
Yun Chi: I've given you everything I have. My money, my magical artifacts... and myself.
The Yun family members, rushing over: !!??
Yun Chi: Can we sleep together tonight?
Li Miaomiao: ???
Ignoring the stunned onlookers, Yun Chi pulls the terrified Li Miaomiao into his arms. "Then... let's start with a kiss."
**
Yun Chi never imagined that he would become a cripple, like a lifeless puppet at the mercy of others. He never imagined that he would enter into a marriage bond with some woman who'd appeared out of nowhere, either.
On the first night after they were bound by the marriage contract, the woman complained that his name was hard to say and started calling him Ci Ci instead.
Ci Ci. Porcelain.
As though he were nothing but a beautiful ornament to look at.
Li Miaomiao is no good at handling affairs, and she's no good at fighting, either. On top of that, she's gloomy all the time. But whenever danger strikes, she always protects Yun Chi, never letting anyone hurt him.
Reborn into this life, Yun Chi thinks it's his turn to protect her.
A catlike heroine who's gloomy every day x an affectionate puppy-like hero who's obsessed with cuddling cats every day
One-on-one, happy ending. Both the hero and heroine are reborn. In their previous lives, the hero was conscious but unable to control his body. He is cured in their second life.
Theme: What is missed and longed for will surely answer in time.
