[1]

Xiyuan has someone she loves: Shen Jun’an, the Huai’an Gentleman, dressed in a jade-like blue robe and personally bestowed his title by imperial decree.

Her beloved is perfect in every way, except for one thing: he doesn’t like her and spends every day thinking about breaking off their engagement.

On the day their engagement was called off, Xiyuan tried to change his mind, but received only one reply:

"Third Miss Yu, please show some self-respect. No matter how hard you try, I will never like you."

The marriage arrangement between the Shen and Yu families became the talk of the town, and Xiyuan was branded shameless by everyone.

On the day Shen Jun’an got engaged, Xiyuan went out to the countryside to clear her head and accidentally fell off a cliff.

When Xiyuan woke up, she had lost her memories and become Tian Erniang, who worked at the Tian family’s tofu shop in Tong’an Town.

One day, Xiyuan found a man at the shop entrance. He knew nothing about himself and, like her, had lost his memories. The Tian family’s tofu shop gained a man named A Tong, in addition to Tian Erniang.

A Tong was tall and handsome, a man of exceptional beauty who would do anything for his savior, Xiyuan.

Xiyuan found herself a new beloved.

On the day she married A Tong, a strange young nobleman crashed the wedding banquet. Red-eyed, he gazed at Xiyuan with tender devotion and claimed to be her fiancé.

Shen Xuan spent eighteen years living in the shadow of Shen Jun’an. Outsiders knew only the Shen family’s young master, Shen Jun’an. No one knew the Shen family had a second young master, Shen Xuan.

Everyone said that the Huai’an Gentleman was a literary genius. No one knew that every stroke of his writing came from Shen Xuan’s hand.

To Shen Xuan, the world had nothing left worth caring about besides his mother. He never expected a girl to barge so unreasonably into his sight.

An umbrella she held over him in the rain, a "Happy birthday, little beggar."...

Later, Shen Xuan often watched a girl from the shadows. She was his elder brother’s fiancée, and her eyes held no one but his brother.

The girl he wanted to cherish in his hands was someone his brother treated as worthless.

Eventually, Shen Xuan found his chance and turned his brother’s fiancée into his own wife.

"Since Elder Brother won’t marry her, don’t blame me for taking her away."

Everyone in the capital knows that the ugly daughter of the Yu family is hopelessly devoted to General Xie’s son, and would even give up her life for him. General Xie’s son believes it too.

[1]

After the ugly daughter of the Yu family nearly drowned and was saved by General Xie’s son, she started clinging to him. In the eyes of the capital’s residents, he was the bright moon in the heavens, while she was mud in the dirt. The ugly Yu girl was shameless, acting above her station and making a spectacle of herself.

But the ugly Yu girl had a face thicker than the city walls. No matter how coldly General Xie’s son treated her, she kept throwing herself at him, and he couldn’t get rid of her.

Xie An regretted saving that ugly girl in a moment of weakness. His peaceful life was over from then on.

Wherever he went, Yu Xizhi followed like a little tail he couldn’t shake. She was always muttering things he couldn’t understand.

At first, Xie An couldn’t stand her. Gradually, he got used to having her there behind him. Sometimes, he even thought that aside from being a little ugly, Yu Xizhi wasn’t so bad.

Until one day, Yu Xizhi, who had been following him, rushed in front of him without hesitation and took the sword coming straight at him.

Yu Xizhi collapsed in a pool of blood. In a daze, General Xie’s son heard a soft chime:

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. You have completed your mission!"

[2]

In her previous life, Yu Xizhi died of cancer. When she opened her eyes again, she had become the second daughter of the Yu family in the capital of the Yong’an Dynasty.

She had also acquired a System. The System told her that she could only truly survive in this world by completing her mission. If she failed, she would be erased.

The child of destiny in this world would die in an assassination attempt three months later. Yu Xizhi’s mission was to protect him and die in his place.

After successfully completing the mission, Yu Xizhi would receive a healthy body and live in this world under a new identity.

Yu Xizhi had no choice but to complete the mission. Luckily, General Xie’s son was easy on the eyes, so three months wouldn’t be hard to get through.

Three months later, Yu Xizhi picked the right moment, threw herself in front of General Xie’s son, and died in his place. She successfully got herself a new identity and traveled wherever she pleased, carefree and happy, forgetting everyone and everything in the capital.

Until one day, General Xie’s son, eyes red, blocked her path. He gripped Xizhi’s hand and wouldn’t let go as he rasped, "I’ve been looking for you for so long."

*

Everyone sighed over Yu Xizhi’s death as she had died saving General Xie’s son, but Xie An refused to believe it. Even when her body was placed in a coffin right in front of him, he still clung to hope.

Half a year later, Xie An saw a woman in a green dress on the street. Her bright eyes and smooth, fair face looked nothing like the ugly daughter of the Yu family.

And yet, for no reason at all, his eyes turned red. Xie An had a feeling that the woman was Yu Xizhi.

Reading Guide:

1. The heroine has no romantic feelings before completing her mission. She falls in love only after the mission is complete.

2. When she dies in the male lead’s place, the System blocks her pain, so she doesn’t feel much.

3. More details to be added later.
