Blurb: A clever, quick-witted woman who transmigrates into a book / a great family head who disguises himself as a woman

Twelve-year age gap. Both leads are each other's one and only.

The male lead is wise and proud at first, but later becomes anxious and lovesick. This is a story about an old flame suddenly bursting into life, passionate and fierce.

After a bout of chills and fever brought on a string of nightmares, Song Wenzheng woke up and remembered her past life. Only then did she realize that the little world she had lived in for fourteen years was actually a book she had read in her previous life.

The book was set in a matriarchal society. Its heroine was her younger half-sister, who was married, and its male lead... was her own husband.

And the ending? After all sorts of trials and tribulations, the hero and heroine finally confessed their feelings to each other. Then they teamed up to kill their respective spouses and lived happily ever after, surrounded by children and grandchildren.

How happy for them!

Too bad she didn't want to die.

So after waking from her nightmare, she quietly set her sights on the male lead's aunt, a major figure whose influence ran through the entire book. She rarely appeared, yet even the hero and heroine's parents bowed their heads to her.

The male lead's story: His mother was cold-hearted, his father wept, his elder sister was frail, and his family was on the verge of ruin. With nowhere left to turn, Shen Yulin took off his men's clothes, swapped identities with his elder sister, and worked himself to the bone to slowly rebuild their fallen family.

He once thought he would live like this forever: wearing women's clothes, hiding behind a mask, and following the path he had chosen, even if he had to bleed every step of the way.

But then, a young woman burst into his dreary life. She was clever, quick-witted, strikingly handsome, and, she said, she liked him.

Tender shoots sprouted from his rotting heart. In an instant, they grew lush and green, spreading until they blotted out the sky.

For the first time, he tasted the thrill of falling in love.

It didn't matter if she had approached him for her own benefit [ahem]. As long as he could look at her, as long as he could keep looking at her, that was enough.

The male lead is wise and composed, proud and strong at first. After falling for the female lead, he becomes anxious, insecure, and moody.

This is a story about an old flame suddenly bursting into life, and there's no putting it out.
