The Cousin Is Delicate and Frail

As the eldest daughter in the family, Jiang Shiyuan was never expected to be a virtuous role model for her younger siblings. Instead, everyone doted on her, leaving her with the pampered temperament of someone who’d rather lie flat.

After her younger sister took her place in a marriage, everyone in Xijing waited to see her make a fool of herself.

But she simply shut the door and lived more comfortably than anyone else.

She smiled sweetly and wished the newlyweds a long and happy marriage, then went back to lie flat, thinking that in this life she would be the sickly, pampered darling of the family. Little did she know, someone had already set their sights on her.

By a twist of fate, Pei Zisi came back to life.

He had been a promising young general, yet met an early and unhappy end. He was thoroughly dissatisfied with that fate.

He could avoid the calamity looming over him.

He could also handle his family’s crisis with ease.

He had planned to spend this life as a man who could stand tall and face the world. But while training his troops out in the open, he heard that his cousin, who lived high above in the clouds, had been jilted. He dropped everything and rode north, afraid she’d suffer the humiliation of being gossiped about after her broken engagement!

But when he arrived in Xijing, he realized he’d worried for nothing.

At a family banquet, the elders all declared they would find her the finest man in the world. Pei Zisi gazed at her with a smile, his cheeks flushed as he leaned toward her.

“Your cousin has admired you for a long time, A Nian, and waited for years. Would you be willing to make me your husband?”

Everyone fell silent. They had never seen anyone behave so brazenly in front of their elders!

Jiang Shiyuan tilted her head and looked at him strangely. Could it be that he had been reborn too?
