This is a love story about a reborn woman winning over an arrogant, rotten man.
This is the story of a poor girl from a mountain village who rises to become a queen.
It's also the story of an arrogant, domineering wolf turning into a loyal lapdog.
And it's the story of a hapless man shedding tears on his long road to winning back his wife.
She lived another life, only to be born into an extremely poor family that favored boys over girls.
The moment she opened her eyes, she was met with undisguised disdain.
There were four people standing by the bed. Even she, calm as she was, couldn't help but mutter, "Good grief, what the hell..."
Being born is a matter of skill, and she'd definitely been set up by the heavens, saddled with a life that was a complete mess.
Never mind the bare walls. Her father didn't care for her, and her mother didn't love her. How was a tiny baby supposed to survive?
Thankfully, once her portable space opened, she could provide for herself and never go hungry.
She could practice martial arts, level up, and make a little money in her spare time. Life could still be quite leisurely.
But who was this annoying guy? Why did he keep hanging around her? She really didn't want him.
He absolutely wasn't her type. She wanted a gentle, caring man.
He was the heir to one of Kyoto's top elite families, ill-tempered, willful, and utterly self-important.
He was devious and scheming, with an obsessive cleanliness fixation. For eighteen years, he'd strutted around like he owned the place, fawned over and indulged by everyone. A true little tyrant, a pampered brat.
He went everywhere surrounded by bodyguards, underlings, and beautiful women, and spent money by the truckload.
Put simply, he was a scumbag.
That is, until he met her at eighteen, when she was thirteen...
For the first time in his life, he suffered a crushing defeat.
From then on, he went further and further down the road to winning her heart.
His pursuit of her was a trail of blood and tears. First he had to fend off other men, then other women.
He had to fend off the older ones, then the younger ones. He must have destroyed the entire galaxy in his past life.
One: Their first meeting. The scumbag was an eighteen-year-old in his prime, while she was a budding genius girl.
One day, the scumbag spotted a cute little girl and decided to tease her. He never expected her to throw him over her shoulder and slam him onto the ground.
The whole world was stunned. Lying on his back, the scumbag stared dumbfounded as the little girl took a handkerchief from her pocket, wiped her hands, and walked away without even glancing at him. From then on, he was determined to get even with her. The girl, of course, soon regretted getting stuck with him. If only she'd held back that one time.
Two: The scumbag watched all the men and women surrounding her, and flew into a rage.
"I've waited so long for my woman to grow up. Whoever tries to steal her is getting beaten to a pulp!"
"Damn it, do you think this is easy for me? I've waited for my sweetheart so long that I've become a golden bachelor!"
Consumed by jealousy, the scumbag swept her off her feet and carried her away.
The next morning, he woke up with two dark circles around his eyes, fully satisfied...
Three:
Looking at her, surrounded by yet another crowd, the scumbag felt utterly exhausted. He didn't just have to fend off male rivals, but female ones too.
Why? Why was this happening? Would they just let him live? Could they at least let him enjoy himself?
Three:
One day, when she was in a good mood, the scumbag asked her,
"When are you going to register our marriage with me? Isn't it time we made things official?"
She glanced at him without answering. She was off wandering around her space, picking fruit...
The scumbag stood up and slapped the table hard.
"What do you mean? I've kept your bed warm for all these years..."
