After Breaking Off My Engagement, I Married My Ex's Uncle

Pei Daozhu of the Pei family is noble, beautiful, and devoted to power and wealth.

When Xiao Heng comes to ask for her hand in marriage, Pei Daozhu looks disdainfully at his cheap robes and smiles. "My family is a distinguished clan, with generations of high-ranking officials. I'm afraid you aren't worthy of marrying into it."

A year later, the Pei family falls into ruin, and a nobleman breaks off his engagement to Pei Daozhu. Then she unexpectedly discovers that Xiao Heng, who once asked for her hand, is the famed Ninth Gentleman of the Xiao family, a scion of a prestigious clan, peerless in talent, handsome and refined, richer than a kingdom, and the beloved uncle of her former fiance!

At a spring banquet, Pei Daozhu shamelessly declares with heartfelt sincerity, "If only I'd known you were destined for greatness, Uncle. My relationship with the other man was just an act. I only want to marry you."

Xiao Heng sneers at her hypocrisy, but he can never forget the agonizing journey he made in his previous life, sending her north to marry for the sake of peace.

Everyone waits to laugh at Pei Daozhu after her engagement is broken. Instead, she turns around and marries her former fiance's uncle, the man who has been devoted to her for two lifetimes. He pampers her from a fallen nobleman's daughter into the wife of a top-ranking aristocrat.
