Lin Xinan was reborn. In his previous life, he saw Qiao Jinyu marry his former fiance and become an official's wife, while he was accidentally beaten to death by her drunkard husband. Before he died, he swore that if he ever got another chance, he wouldn't break off the engagement. He would become an official's wife and enjoy a life of wealth and luxury. He would never let Lu Wenjie go to Qiao Jinyu, an orphan with no parents and a little burden in tow.
In this new life, he arranged for Qiao Jinyu to fall into the water. Not only did Qiao Jinyu survive, he also married a scholar from the neighboring village and built a thriving life with him. That scholar even went on to place first in the imperial examinations. Lu Wenjie, on the other hand, accomplished nothing, and his life was a complete mess.
After falling into the water, Qiao Jinyu discovered new memories in his mind: memories of his previous life. Beyond that, he seemed to have entered a marvelous world. Everyone in his dreams wore revealing clothes and held square devices, pointing them this way and that. The stall owners even gave him food without asking for money, and his mind contained recipes for making all that food.
This time, he would give his younger brother and Gu Yuanfeng a good life. He had no interest in being some stupid comparison-group character.
