Gu Jiuxue was born with a naturally cold constitution and was delicate and frail, yet stunningly beautiful.
In an era where everyone was fired up about work, people said of her, “She's nice to look at, but you wouldn't want to marry her.”
Gu Jiuxue secretly set her sights on Chen Wanrui, the university-trained technician assigned to the factory.
At the celebration, Chen Wanrui performed in a model opera, and Gu Jiuxue shyly offered him her scarf.
When she returned to her seat, her vision suddenly went blurry, and a flood of information entered her mind.
It turned out she was the ill-fated original wife in a story set in a bygone era.
After pursuing the male lead, Chen Wanrui, in every way, she finally married him.
Their married life was fairly sweet, and they soon had a son. They lived a good life.
Who could have guessed that one day, someone would possess her!
The woman who took over her body came from thirty years in the future. Once she had Chen Wanrui as her man, she became delighted and full of energy.
She used Gu Jiuxue's identity,
wore Gu Jiuxue's face,
looked down on Gu Jiuxue's taste,
showed off her knowledge of the future,
squandered Gu Jiuxue's years of savings,
slept with Gu Jiuxue's husband,
and bossed Gu Jiuxue's son around!
In the end, she even discovered that a painting Gu Jiuxue had treasured was a masterpiece.
She immediately sold it for a fortune, and everyone praised her for her cleverness!
The male lead, Chen Wanrui, wouldn't let go of his darling wife.
He said she was nothing like the old Gu Jiuxue.
He said she was capable, knowledgeable, and good-natured.
He said that before, they'd only been making do, with no love between them. Now, this was true love!
Even their son said, “I like my mom better now. I feel so happy these days.”
Gu Jiuxue was so furious she fainted on the spot.
What kind of shameless homewrecker was this?
What kind of heartless bastard was this man?
What kind of ungrateful brat was this, treating a thief as his mother?
She wasn't about to let someone else take the fruits of her labor!
She didn't want to marry a man like that!
And she didn't want to give birth to a son like that!
Once she'd caught her breath, she rushed backstage and snatched the scarf out of Chen Wanrui's hands.
Chen Wanrui: ??
Gu Jiuxue: “I... gave it to the wrong person.”
Chen Wanrui: ??
Gu Jiuxue gave a soft laugh and looked at the man beside him, who was playing the old male role. A huge fake beard was stuck to his face, and he looked as imposing as an iron tower. Gu Jiuxue couldn't tell if he was human or ghost.
She smiled at the actor and said, “Sir, this scarf is for you. It's cold out, so please take good care of yourself.”
Later, as snowflakes drifted down, Nie Yicheng stood at the entrance to the alley where Gu Jiuxue lived.
He was six foot two, with a burly build.
He held something in his hand, his face dark and forbidding.
The moment he saw Gu Jiuxue, his sharp gaze swept over her.
Gu Jiuxue stared at him in shock, her legs going weak.
Nie Yicheng was the great villain in that book, a ruthless man who could turn the world upside down!
Rumor had it he secretly loved the heroine, so he opposed the male lead at every turn and made his life miserable in the end!
She was already sickly and miserable. Wouldn't angering this great villain make things even worse?
Gu Jiuxue trembled and backed away again and again. “I, I haven't done anything to you...”
Then Nie Yicheng said, “I've agreed. Let's date.”
Gu Jiuxue: “?”
Nie Yicheng lifted the thick collar of his leather coat, revealing the scarf tucked inside.
“You gave me a scarf.”
Then he raised his hand and waved the ten pounds of prime pork belly he was holding.
“I'm giving you this.”
