* Older woman/younger man romance. Click to watch the arrogant king hit rock bottom and desperately chase after his wife, secretly hiding under the covers at midnight to wipe away his tears.
In her previous life, as he lay dying, Lu Yunye told Shen Yuqing two things he wanted: first, to break off their engagement; second, to have her find someone else to love.
His exact words were: "Even if I die, I don't want to be tied to you. And can you please find someone else to like? Don't keep thinking about me after I'm dead. Can you let me die in peace?"
Shen Yuqing, who simply liked Lu Yunye's face, said that if she could do it all over again, she would grant her lifesaver's first wish.
As for his second wish, she'd think about it once she got tired of looking at Lu Yunye's face.
After all, Lu Yunye really was handsome.
So the first thing Shen Yuqing did after being reborn was decisively break off her engagement to Lu Yunye.
No one knew whether people became ghosts after they died. Lu Yunye certainly didn't, since he had become a dog.
Worse still, he'd been picked up by Shen Yuqing, the person he hated most.
On the first day after she took him in: She's so annoying. Can't she stay away from me?
On the fifth day: Actually, she's pretty cute...
Half a month after she took him in: Who's that guy? What makes him think he can like Shen Yuqing?! I'll bite him to death!
Finally, giving up the struggle: That's right! I like Shen Yuqing! So what?!
Lu Yunye never imagined he'd get another chance. With no time to think, only one thought filled his mind.
Find Shen Yuqing and tell her he loved her.
At long last, he found her, only to discover that someone had beaten him to confessing. His face pale, he hurriedly reached for her hand, wanting to take her away.
Then he heard the other person's exasperated, grating words.
"Had enough of this, Lu Yunye?"
"The engagement has been broken off as you wished. It's time to stop your stupid pranks, too."
...What did she mean, as he wished?
Wearing a hospital gown, Lu Yunye felt his mind ring. His eyes instantly reddened, and he stood rooted to the spot, like a helpless child.
He could only watch her leave, unable to make her stay.
In her previous life, after Lu Yunye died, Shen Yuqing took in a dog with a personality much like his: silly and haughty.
After being reborn, she was a little disappointed that she wouldn't see it again for two years. She never expected it to appear right outside her home the very next day.
But why was it so clingy this time?
