She's got another trick up her sleeve; starting from scratch and building a prosperous future is not out of the question! However, Fang Yunbai, you broke off the engagement and caused me to be kicked out of my home, so why are you still coming up to me now?

Young Marquis, you were the one who divorced me back then, and now you want to marry me again? Don't you know the saying "a good horse doesn't eat the grass it has already grazed"? Do you even know how to write the word "shame"? I've gotten tired of being a good horse after all this time, so this time I'm going to be a bad horse for once. I really want to sing "Love Transaction" to him, what should I do? Given that the author's writing style is good, but he is always making things up, out of kindness and responsibility, I would like to kindly remind those who are particular about historical accuracy to proceed with caution.
