The Liang and Zhu families arranged a betrothal for their children when they were young, leaving the choice of partners undecided.
At the engagement banquet, the Zhu family's only daughter made a dazzling entrance, surrounded by admirers and showered with affection. Everyone assumed she would choose the talented eldest son of the Liang family, but instead she turned toward a corner and took the hand of the fool, the Liang family's third son.
The fool sucked on his fingers and called her "Big Sister" with a grin, then handed her his toy rabbit. He had a handsome face, but the mind of a young child.
The whole room sighed: a flower stuck in cow dung.
Only Zhu Sangluo, whose consciousness had awakened, knew she was living inside a book. Two years later, the male lead, Liang Qi, also known as the Liang family's third son, would regain his senses, crush everyone in his path, and become an immensely powerful winner in life.
As for her, after marriage, her hypocritical husband would abuse her in private.
She would ultimately lose her family and die in despair within five years.

Reborn into a new life, Liang Qi regained his senses early.
He planned an even more perfect path of revenge, determined not to repeat the past.
Who could have guessed that the stupid woman who had married his eldest brother in his previous life would take leave of her senses and choose him for a marriage alliance this time?
The worst part was that Liang Qi was still pretending to be a fool, so he couldn't refuse.
At first, Liang Qi pretended to be stupid and dazed, hoping to disgust Zhu Sangluo into leaving.
Later: He couldn't get enough of her.
Not only did she not despise him, she accepted everything about him.
-
Zhu Sangluo only wanted to help Liang Qi avoid the mistreatment he had suffered before. Once he regained his senses, if he remembered even a little of her kindness and was willing to offer her some protection in the future, she could live a peaceful life.
When the heroine destined for him appeared, Zhu Sangluo graciously stepped aside.
Just as before, she coaxed the little fool. "Be good and sign this. Big Sister will buy you some candy."
The divorce agreement on the table pierced Liang Qi's heart, and his pen clattered to the floor. Zhu Sangluo was bewildered as he grabbed her wrist and pulled her close. The man's voice by her ear was impossibly clear, his words clenched between his teeth.
"Divorce? Don't even think about it!"
Zhu Sangluo: ...Wait, when did he stop being a fool?!
※ Both are virgins. Before his rebirth, the male lead had no romantic storyline with the original heroine.
※ The Liang and Zhu surnames were purely a whim. Their surnames are used here, but this has absolutely nothing to do with the story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai.
