Why Was My Benefactor in My Past Life Like That? (Reborn)

Female protagonist is reborn | Sweet, sweet, sweet | Contrasting personalities | One falls apart, the other pursues his wife

[The cold, aloof, suspicious censor falls in love; the warmhearted, passionate young lady does not]

In her previous life, Jiang Chiyu did everything she could to plead for her father, who had been falsely imprisoned, nearly spending the entire family fortune.

Her former fiance, who had broken off their engagement and married someone else, tried to take advantage of her, while her father's old colleague plotted to make her his concubine.

When she was close to despair, Censor He Ji appeared out of nowhere, uncovered the truth, and cleared her father's name.

Just as she was on her way to thank him, she was shot back two years into the past.

Jiang Chiyu had ambition and resolve. Reborn, she was determined to manage the river, save her father, and change her fate.

But along the way, she ran into the benefactor from her previous life. He was badly injured and frail, all alone.

She had to repay the kindness he'd shown her in her previous life.

She treated his wounds, helped him investigate his case, and even put him up in her own home, serving him his favorite candied fruit every day.

Once he recovered, he'd be able to solve the case ahead of time and avoid what happened in her previous life, right?

He Ji was secretly investigating a case on imperial orders, but was ambushed on the way and taken in by a kindhearted young woman.

She found a country doctor to treat him, and even deliberately arranged for a witness in the case to work at her shop.

She even went so far as to use delivering candied fruit as an excuse to fish for information and learn more secrets.

Once he recovered, he would leave at once and investigate this woman's background while he was at it!

Two months later, Jiang Chiyu accepted the truth: she still had to handle things herself, and she'd repaid her debt to her benefactor from her previous life.

"I hope you solve the case soon, sir, and catch the real culprit."

Watching her graceful figure turn away without a backward glance, He Ji, who had plotted and schemed at every turn, understood the taste of love for the first time in his life.
