I Refuse to Be the Prime Minister's Wife

In her previous life, Bai Chu spent ten whole years chasing love with all her heart. She rose from a lonely, helpless village girl to the envy of everyone, the dignified wife of the prime minister, renowned for her virtue, gentleness, and skill at managing the household. When she died and opened her eyes again, Bai Chu had returned to the year she met Shen Yan. With everything starting over, she declared that she was done being the prime minister’s wife. Who cared who he loved? That demanding mother-in-law and domineering sister-in-law could be waited on by whoever wanted to serve them. Wasn’t it much better to grow crops, raise chickens, gather herbs, and live freely as a happy village girl? * Shen Yan, the noble young master of the prime minister’s residence in the capital, was cold-hearted and inscrutable, like the udumbara flower of Buddhist scripture. Then one day, this ‘udumbara flower’ was ‘plucked’ by a village girl named Bai Chu, and the whole capital was thrown into an uproar. Shen Yan used to think Bai Chu would be his little shadow for the rest of her life. Then one day, she died in his arms, and he went mad. Now his A Chu doesn’t want him anymore. It’s all right. This time, he’ll be her shadow, asking only that they grow old together and never part. * A groveling chase to win her back, as spectators watch the aloof, esteemed prime minister fall from his pedestal.
