But after discovering the heir’s wife’s affair, her tongue was cut out, her eyes were poisoned blind, and she was drowned in a lake to silence her. Reborn two years earlier, she happens to run into the heir after someone drugs him. Without a trace of hesitation, Yuan Zhi rushes forward and becomes his antidote. From then on, Yuan Zhi plays the helpless innocent, acts peculiar, and flirts with Jiang Huai until she leaves him longing for more. In the end, she gets the man who prides himself on being a gentleman to agree to marry Xie Ronglan while bringing Yuan Zhi into his household as well. Jiang Huai, heir to the Duke of Dingguo, takes a wife, and a concubine enters his household at the same time.

She thinks she has pulled off a flawless plan, but Jiang Huai grips her chin. “I gave you what you wanted. Are you happy?” Once exposed, Yuan Zhi simply stops pretending. She spends her days opening shops and doing business, thriving as one suitor after another comes calling. Jiang Huai’s eyes turn red. “She is my wife!”
