The Cousin Is Delicate and Frail

As the eldest daughter in her family, Jiang Shiyuan had never been expected to be a paragon of virtue or set an example for her younger siblings. Instead, everyone doted on her, and she grew into a pampered, well-to-do slacker. After her second younger sister took her place in an arranged marriage, everyone in Xijing waited to see Jiang Shiyuan make a fool of herself. Instead, she shut the door and lived more comfortably than anyone else. She smiled sweetly and wished the newlyweds a lifetime together, then went back to lounging around. In this life, she was determined to be the beloved, sickly darling of the family. Little did she know, someone had already set their sights on her. By a twist of fate, Pei Zisu came back to life. He’d been a promising young general, only to meet an early death without a proper ending. The outcome had left him deeply dissatisfied. He could avoid the disaster that had once threatened his life. He could also handle the crisis at home properly. He’d planned to spend this life as an honorable man who could hold up the sky. But while training his troops in the wilderness, he heard that his cousin, who lived high above 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 husband in the world. Pei Zisu gazed at her with a smile, his cheeks flushed, and leaned toward her. “Your cousin has admired A-Nian for a long time and waited for years. Would A-Nian be willing to take me as her husband?” Everyone fell silent. They’d never seen anyone act so outrageously in front of their elders! Jiang Shiyuan tilted her head and studied the man before her with a strange look. Could he have been reborn too?
