Unspoken Desires [Period]

The Su and Gu families' betrothal needs to be sealed.

Zhuzhu meets Gu Menghua, a member of the same generation, and marries him at twenty-two.

Gu Menghua's uncle personally officiates the wedding. Everyone says Gu Menghua is lucky to have such a face, with the cold, domineering head of the Gu family personally arranging the marriage. None of the brothers of their generation had ever dared hope for something like this.

In their third year of marriage, Gu Menghua cheats on Zhuzhu, bringing his mistress home and demanding a divorce.

Zhuzhu calls him filthy, but Gu Menghua says she's no better! Zhuzhu has no idea what he means.

That year, Zhuzhu's parents both died, and when his mistress came to humiliate her, no one stood up for her. With nowhere else to turn, she sought out the uncle who had officiated their wedding. He broke Gu Menghua's leg and made him stay home and keep Zhuzhu company.

Half a year later, she drank the poisoned wine Gu Menghua gave her...

She transmigrates back to when she was seventeen. Her parents are alive, and she has to choose a husband from among the Gu family's young men. Everyone knows she and Gu Menghua have been secretly dating. He's certain he's already won.

Looking back carefully this time, Zhuzhu realizes that even before she married, a powerful figure behind the scenes had been protecting the Su family. No wonder Gu Menghua said she wasn't pure.

Of the four Gu men eligible to marry her, anyone but Gu Menghua could be the powerful figure secretly protecting her family.

As they all pursue her, she turns her attention to Gu Chiye, Gu Menghua's uncle, the untouchable man she once thought was far beyond her reach.

Marry an older relative?

That would be absurd.

In her previous life, Gu Chiye had harbored improper intentions toward her. This time, even if it means enduring the scandal, he'll take her away from his nephew!

On a hot, humid night, he kisses Zhuzhu fiercely, caresses her belly after making love, and keeps forcing her to say that he's the one she loves.
