[Both Reborn] [Swapped Marriages] [Marriage Before Love] [Regret and Redemption]
When Shen Qingge saw her younger sister, who wasn't supposed to marry for another month, take the initiative to persuade their stepmother to arrange their weddings together, she knew Shen Nian'an had been reborn too.
In her previous life, all it took was one remark from her about how handsome the Heir Qi was for her eldest brother to abandon his literary studies and take up arms. He won military honors in exchange for an imperial decree granting her wish to marry Qi Mingyuan. Her younger sister, Shen Nian'an, married Rong Zheng, the Marquis of Yong'an, a twice-married man with a child.
After the wedding, she and Qi Mingyuan lived in perfect harmony. Even after three years without a child, the Duke's household personally chose a young boy from their clan for her to adopt. He was a child prodigy who made a name for himself at a young age and won her an official title.
Her younger sister, however, despised the Marquis of Yong'an for having been married before. Whenever things displeased her, she beat and berated her two stepsons, eventually ending up cast aside.
She never knew that Qi Mingyuan, who had enchanted Shen Qingge at first sight in her previous life, had killed her maid to get his hands on her dowry. To keep her under his thumb, he personally forced her to drink a decoction that would make her barren...
The adopted son she had raised with so much care personally offered her a cup of poison on the very day he passed the imperial exam...
In this life, Shen Qingge went along with the current and married the Marquis of Ningyuan. Though he had a son and a daughter, he had kept himself pure after his late wife's death, with no concubines or bedchamber attendants.
She had been childless all her previous life. Surely, if she raised the two children whom Shen Nian'an had despised with care, their fate would be different this time.
Shen Nian'an may not know how to enjoy a good life, but that doesn't mean Shen Qingge can't.
She had thought she'd be left to a lonely marriage, but who could have guessed that the cold-faced marquis would dote on her beyond measure?
Several months later, her younger sister knelt at the marquis's manor gates, looking haggard.
"Sister, I regret it... Can we switch back?"
I've caught up to the latest episode; the plot is fast-paced! I personally love it! Looking forward to the next installment!
Why were all the best parts saved for later? Or did the writing improve later on? I've inexplicably started watching it.
Why isn't anyone giving a review?
It was alright, although the main characters didn't have mouths, and I almost gave up on the story at the beginning!! But the misunderstandings were eventually cleared up. I really liked the ending.
This is a very good book and well worth reading!
First, the male lead is disgusting and indiscriminately attacks the female lead without any regard for right or wrong. Secondly, the female lead is an extremely saintly character; she suffered so much in her past life and is still obsessed with love in this one.
Having watched this far, I feel the male and female leads' path to enlightenment is quite long, but it seems to fit the story's development logic: doubt, misunderstanding, suffering, reconciliation. I guess they'll be leveling up and fighting monsters together later on.
What a disgusting plot! All that dragging and dawdling! It's nauseating to watch!
