Yang Siwan died in the arms of her sworn elder brother, reunited with him after a long separation. She died on the day her husband issued an imperial decree ordering her to be buried alive.
In a narrow alley, life and death came down to a single instant. Looking back on her life, she felt so much sorrow.
She had lived boldly, felt regret, and struggled. A dazzling, spirited young lady blessed by heaven, she had wagered the freedom of the rest of her life on the illusory love Song Renhe had woven around her. She had cost her grandfather and elder brother their lives, and even destroyed the Yang Army's lifelong glory.
Heaven took pity on her, granting her the chance to live again. This time, she would be cautious: stay true to herself, protect her family, and keep her distance from the people of her past.
Just as she was secretly rejoicing that everything had gone as she wished, she discovered that, after all the twists and turns of this life, she had once again fallen into Song Renhe's hands!
Reborn at thirteen, Yang Siwan resolved to stay away from the Third Prince's charms and devote herself to protecting her sincere grandfather and sworn elder brother. Though this life still held one obstacle after another, and the Third Prince, unwilling to give up, kept pestering her, Yang Siwan remained true to herself, and her days grew happier and happier.
Feeling she had wronged her sworn elder brother in her previous life, she devoted herself to finding him a good wife. But her thickheaded brother never took the hint. He threw the portraits of the noble young ladies she found for him into the kitchen to use as kindling, and sent the maids she arranged to attend him straight to the estate to do farm work.
Watching her brother remain so utterly clueless about romance, Yang Siwan thought she and her sworn elder brother were destined to become two rare elderly singles in the Li Dynasty. But one day, the wooden-headed man suddenly caught on and began showing off to her like a male peacock.
"Sworn brother, could you please stop being so good to me?"
"Isn't it only right that I treat you well?"
"But you're so close to me that it scares me."
Under her sworn elder brother's relentless advances, day after day, Yang Siwan finally opened her heart and accepted the man who had given up his life for her in their previous life. On the second day of their marriage, as she basked in newlywed bliss, Yang Siwan found a secret in her husband's study that only she and Song Renhe knew.
No wonder her sworn elder brother, once honest and kind, had become so calculating in this life. No wonder he was so different from the man she had known in her previous life. All along, she wasn't the only one who had been given a new life.
"My lady, who throws her husband out of the bridal chamber on the second day of their marriage?"
"Song Renhe, you absolute bastard! I want a divorce!"
Everyone said the Marquis's household had adopted Yang Zhaolin, and that his marriage to the Marquis's legitimate daughter, Yang Siwan, was a perfect match that would bring their families even closer. Only the servants in the household knew that ever since the wedding, the young lady and her husband had a minor quarrel every three days and a major one every five. She brought up divorce more often than the hens laid eggs.
An alternate dynasty. Sweet romance.
