A highly skilled heroine who regularly saves the hero x a clever but ineffectual hero who regularly gets saved

A ridiculous, sharp-tongued, irreverent couple changing their fates, trading barbs, and flirting

*

In her previous life, the powerful Xu family, a family of generals, became a threat to the throne. The eldest Xu daughter was forced to give up the man she loved and marry into Prince Ning’s household. As it happened, this inadvertently helped her beloved raise an army and rebel.

Xu Yunchao fought alongside her father in a blood-soaked battle, helping keep the banners from changing hands. But before she could rest for even half a day, she saw her elder sister leap from a tall building. The entire General’s Manor was implicated, and its occupants were sentenced to death.

As she lay dying, she seemed to catch the eye of Ji Ruixiao, far away in the crowd.

So, after being reborn, Xu Yunchao married into Prince Ning’s household as a substitute in order to change her fate, only to run into Ji Ruixiao.

Xu Yunchao: “?”

Rumor had it that the heartthrob wanted nothing to do with romance. In her previous life, he had also tacitly joined her in refusing their arranged marriage. So why was he now...?

Xu Yunchao couldn’t make sense of it.

She decided not to think about it. It didn’t matter whom she married. All she wanted was to stop this marriage alliance.

However, not only did this guy act nothing like the rumors said, his personality was completely different too.

Rumor had it that Ji Ruixiao was gentle, an unfailingly refined gentleman. And from the little time they’d spent together in the final days of her previous life, he had seemed that way.

Xu Yunchao relaxed, only to regret it three sentences later.

“You should listen to fewer teahouse rumors.”

“You can come cry in my arms if you want.”

He was even more shameless and obnoxious than she was...

Xu Yunchao grumbled to herself, but also found him amusing.

So she stuck to her plan. Whenever she had time, she bantered with him. She had once suspected something was amiss, but didn’t look into it. Then, on an outing, she encountered Ji Ruixiao being hunted by assassins.

Xu Yunchao sensed something was wrong. After saving him, she asked him directly, and he answered even more directly, revealing that he had been reborn.

“...”

After a moment of silence, they immediately agreed to work together to change their fates.

But Xu Yunchao soon noticed something even more suspicious.

This guy wanted to fight whenever he had to handle anything important, but he went down with one punch. Yet he was a natural at acting pitiful, playing the victim, and scheming.

More importantly, why was he getting more and more handsy with her while acting all cheeky and shameless...?

*

Their everyday partnership: all talk, but secretly caring.

“If you can’t keep up, Young Prince Ji, take a break. Pretty boys are all looks and no use.”

Xu Yunchao mocked him, clapped her hands, and vaulted out. She quickly dealt with the guards and stole the token, then turned and tossed one to him with a smug raised eyebrow.

Ji Ruixiao watched her strut around proudly, only to fall flat on her face when she tried to climb back over the wall. He went over, scooped her up in his arms, and said with a teasing smile, “What happened to being good for something, pretty boy?”

1. Both leads are reborn and both marry as substitutes. Two single loners (crossed out) who cared nothing for love and only wanted freedom end up together, getting revenge while being obnoxious.

P.S. The heroine is not a naive sweetheart, no, no, no! She initially wanted to see if she could help her elder sister and the man she loved get together because she respected her sister’s wishes! And she was investigating the evidence at the same time she was trying to bring them together. (Don’t you dare insult the heroine, aaah!)

2. This story is completely irreverent, a light romance. The leads are ridiculous, dramatic, and obnoxious in their everyday lives. The story only gets serious when recounting past events. Just enjoy the fun and don’t overthink it [heart]
