In her previous life, Li Xiuying's parents died when she was twelve years old. Her stepbrother came to pick her up on the same day as her husband's family, so she chose her husband's family.
She married her childhood sweetheart fiancé at the age of fifteen. She suffered a childbirth at the age of sixteen, one dead and two dead. After her death, she became a ghost and found out that the childbirth was not God's will, but because her husband's title on the gold medal was favored by a nobleman, and her mother-in-law asked her to vacate the position of the head wife.
Ten years later, Zhu Ma rose through the ranks with the help of his Yue family and became an official in Taifu, while his stepbrother became a cruel official and made unjust cases. Zhuma's family was also implicated and his family was confiscated, and his stepbrother himself was soon liquidated and sentenced to lenght.
After resurrecting her life, Xiuying returns to the eve of her conception.
She has only two wishes in this life. The first is to leave her husband's family alive, and the second is to prevent her brother from becoming a traitor.
She asked herself to leave the court and returned to her childhood home. She tried her best every day to help her brother take the imperial examination and follow the right path.
Within three years, her stepbrother was admitted to the Hanlin Academy as the top scorer in high school, and the prime minister's daughter wanted to catch her son-in-law. Xiuying knew that when she retired after success, staying with her brother would only become a burden to him.
She packed her bags and said goodbye to her brother: "I wish my brother a bright future. I am also going back to my hometown to get married."
The brother agreed and sent her back to his hometown all the way, dug out a jar of wine from under the roots of an old tree and said he wanted to say goodbye to her.
As the wine entered her throat, she realized that it was the daughter's wine that her brother had buried when she was born.
The elder brother drank cup after cup in silence until the whole jar was gone.
"Go back to your hometown and get married. Marry me."

When the knife cut open the flesh and blood again and again, he thought of his sister, lying in a pool of blood, eyes wide open, tears still wet at the corners of her eyes.
How painful she must have been at that time, he thought. If there was an afterlife, he would risk his life to protect her.
But he never dreamed that he would have rebellious thoughts towards his sister in the next life.
