In her first life, Fang Chujin took her close friend Shen Miaolu's advice and, among all the talented young men gathered beneath the Matchmaking Tower, tossed her embroidered ball straight to Du Qi, an illegitimate son of the Cen family of Weicheng who was still an insignificant nobody.
Fang Chujin paved the way for him, doing everything she could and exhausting every connection she had to help him rise to the position of Alliance Leader of the Immortal Realm. She thought that would earn her even a little tenderness from him. She never expected to end up helping someone else reap the rewards.
Given an unexpected chance to live her life over, Fang Chujin looked down at Du Qi, standing among the crowd beneath the Matchmaking Tower with the air of the only sober man in a world of drunkards. Her lips pressed into a thin line. Since you don't want anything to do with me, I'll give you what you want.
Just as she was thinking of an excuse to cancel the matchmaking, the embroidered ball slipped from her hand and landed squarely on a passerby.
When she got a good look at him, she realized it was Gan Yutang, her mortal enemy in her previous life.
As she reached out to take the ball back, her nemesis raised his eyes and stared at her. Holding the embroidered ball, he asked, “Looking for a husband? How about me?”
Gan Yutang had two secrets. One was that he had always secretly loved Fang Chujin. The other was that he had lived through two lifetimes.
Looking at the embroidered ball in his hand, he remembered the confession he'd never managed to make in his past life, then thought of Fang Chujin's tragic death. Since Fang Chujin and Du Qi had been able to arrange their engagement by tossing an embroidered ball in the previous life, why couldn't he?
As far as family background and status went, he and Fang Chujin were the ones who truly matched. Du Qi was nothing.
In his previous life, he'd followed the rules far too rigidly. Now that Heaven had given him another chance, he would get there first and fight for what he wanted.
Sharp-tongued, vengeful heroine x fake aloof beauty, real hopeless romantic hero.
An inferiority complex is a man's best tonic.
Happy ending.
