Little Golden Branch (Reborn)

Happy puppy vs. a puppy's happiness

1: Si Jiaojiao is just like her name suggests. She's been pampered since childhood and has never known hardship. The youngest daughter of the prime minister's family, she was doted on by her parents from the time she was little.

But she was blinded by love and fell for a poor scholar, willingly trading her fine clothes for a life of cooking and caring for him.

Three years later, when her mother-in-law complained that she had borne no children, her husband made his cousin from the village a favored concubine.

Si Jiaojiao was heartbroken, but she knew that having no heir was considered a grave failing, so she could only swallow her resentment. She even treated the concubine's child as her own.

She never expected that after her husband was promoted, the first thing he did was lock her up. It turned out that all along, he'd been giving her medicine to prevent pregnancy!

It turned out that this whole family had been climbing the social ladder by sucking her dry. It turned out that the scumbag had been childhood sweethearts with his cousin all along!

2: Living another life, Si Jiaojiao hardens her heart. She won't be satisfied until she tears this family down to the last layer. I was a fool! But a noble fool!

She's also very protective of her own life, so she seeks someone powerful to shelter her and goes to her older brother's friend, Huo Wuji.

3: Huo Wuji is a prince of another surname with a long record of military achievements. The stories say he's cruel and brutal, with a long saber at his waist and countless souls slain by it.

Si Jiaojiao swallows her fear and goes to ask him for help, hoping only that he'll keep her safe.

She never expected him to wave his hand and kick her out of his estate.

Si Jiaojiao: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻ I'm mad!

Looking at the young lady who has come to see him, Huo Wuji thinks that people in the capital avoid him whenever they can. What would he want with some ridiculous friend?

But the young lady comes by every day, crying and carrying on as she tells him about her troubles. Huo Wuji considers reporting her to the authorities, but when he meets her pitiful gaze and sees her delicate red lips, he can't help softening.

Eventually, Huo Wuji gets used to it: the racket she makes, watching her laugh without restraint, and seeing her stop pretending halfway through crying.

Once that troublesome family has completely fallen from power, Si Jiaojiao dusts off her hands and prepares to leave. But a large, calloused hand locks around her waist. Sweaty fingers intertwine tightly with hers beneath her cloak. "Jiaojiao is a wonderful name. Someone like you deserves to be cherished in the palm of a hand."

The warm breath behind her makes Si Jiaojiao shiver. She quickly waves her hands. "You heard wrong, you heard wrong. I came to the wrong person."

"Too late."

When the two return to the capital, everyone in the Si family is dumbfounded. How did their daughter bring back such a menace? What a disaster!

Si Jiaojiao: "Oops, my bad. It was an accident."

New chapters every other day! I'll update daily when I have time. Our Jiaojiao is a precious girl.
