In her previous life, Xie Mingshu, the eldest legitimate daughter of the Yong'an Marquis's household, and Gu Jinyuan, the second young master of the Duke of Zhenguo's household, were a devoted couple known to everyone. After three years of marriage, they were deeply in love, yet they abruptly divorced overnight, to everyone's shock and bewilderment.
Gu Jinyuan remarried, and Xie Mingshu married someone else. But no one expected that the seemingly innocent woman he married would prove rotten to the core. In less than two years, the flourishing Duke of Zhenguo's household was falsely accused of treason, and the entire family was executed. A century of glory was destroyed in an instant. Meanwhile, Xie Mingshu entrusted herself to the wrong man. A gentleman turned into a wolf, and he treated his wife worse than a concubine. Though she remained chaste, he cast her aside like trash, dragging the Yong'an Marquis's household into decline until it lost its title and official post and was driven out of the capital.
Only when she was cast off did she understand what a joke her three years of devoted waiting had been. And Gu Jinyuan... In the end, all she got from him was a poisoned cup, offered after he revealed his true colors in pursuit of revenge.
She died of the poison, only to wake as if from a dream. Xie Mingshu found herself back six years earlier, before she and Gu Jinyuan had divorced. The wolf and the black lotus had only just returned to the capital, and there was still time to change everything...
After hanging himself with a three-foot strip of white silk in his prison cell, Gu Jinyuan woke to find himself back in the past, before he and Xie Mingshu had divorced. In his previous life, he had fallen for her without understanding his own feelings, then let her slip away because of a promise he had made long ago. He had regretted it for the rest of his life.
Reborn, he would protect the Duke of Zhenguo's household and the woman he loved, and keep them from falling victim to villains.
Little by little... Xie Mingshu realized he had changed.
The tangled grudges and love between two lifetimes, the missed connections from past and present, all gradually rose to the surface.
* Both leads are reborn, but they return at different points in time.
* Happy ending, slow burn.
Theme: If life gives you another chance, you must do your very best to make it perfect.
It feels like it is a slow-burning novel. The male and female protagonists have very boring personalities, and there is no tension in the interactions. In fact, it would be more interesting to write a drama about the script, but now it feels like a waste.
This means that poor people must be hateful
I'm laughing so hard, my sister-in-law is in trouble
More! Happy Lantern Festival!
It's been updated! Happy New Year!
Daily question: When will the hero come back?
When will the hero come back?
It would be great if the old lady was not old. She can control everything in the Hou Mansion by herself!
It feels like the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have been fighting each other until now, and they know each other's methods.
It seems like those rotten peach blossoms haven't been hanging around for a while, right?
