The Sickly Beauty Goes Wild in a Period Novel

[Gorgeous Chaotic Devil x Delicate Beauty Who Goes Wild at the Drop of a Hat]

In her previous life, He Jiaojiao was the kind of woman people envied for having such a blessed life.

Her husband was gentle and considerate, handsome and dignified, and worked for a government institution. He had a stable job and a bright future, with plenty of room to rise through the ranks. He was a genuinely excellent prospect.

As for He Jiaojiao, she was a sickly beauty who could get heatstroke from spending a little time in the sun and become breathless after running just a few steps. What a waste of a peerlessly beautiful face.

In the eyes of outsiders, including her own parents and relatives, marrying such a man was a blessing she must have earned in her previous life.

So why was He Jiaojiao so determined to divorce him?

Was it because her health was poor and her constitution frail, and she suffered sudden heart attacks at the drop of a hat, making it impossible for her to have children, while her husband kept trying every means to get her pregnant?

Was it because she had ambitions of her own, but her husband kept coaxing her to stay home and be a pampered wife, then turned around and looked down on her for being useless, admiring other women while giving her the cold shoulder?

Or was it because she had a fiery temper and everyone thought she was difficult, while whenever she asked for a divorce, her husband would gently say, "Your health is poor. If we split up, who will take care of you?"

Only she knew what it was really like.

Fortunately, Heaven gave her another chance.

When she opened her eyes, He Jiaojiao had returned to the 1970s, to the year she first met her husband.

Now she faced two choices: 1. Agree to go on a date with Liang Yue and make her family happy. 2. Pretend to be sick to get out of the date and avoid her family's scolding.

He Jiaojiao chose neither. She went crazy and decided to run straight over everyone!

Then she agreed to meet Xu Lan instead.

Xu Lan was twenty-two, the only beloved son in nine generations of the textile factory director's family, and the most notorious layabout for miles around. The Xu family spoiled him rotten, letting him run wild and waste his life.

In the eyes of outsiders, no one would dare marry their daughter off to a man like him.

The old hands at the factory even condemned him, saying, "The Xu family will be ruined by him sooner or later!"

When He Jiaojiao turned down a college student but agreed to date such a spoiled rich kid, everyone in the compound was stunned. They thought she must have gone crazy.

Still, a sickly girl and a layabout did seem like a good match.

Liang Yue watched coldly from the sidelines, confident he had everything under control. He just had to wait for He Jiaojiao to regret her choice and come back to him. Compared to Xu Lan, he would naturally look even better.

But as he waited...

He got the news of their wedding.

He got the news that He Jiaojiao had recovered enough to take the college entrance exams, earned a place at university, built a career of her own, and grown healthier and healthier.

He got the news that Xu Lan had left his old ways behind and become a leading powerhouse.

The one thing he never got was He Jiaojiao regretting her choice!

Liang Yue: ???

This wasn't how the story was supposed to go!
