As the eldest daughter in the family, Jiang Shiyuan had never been expected to be virtuous and proper or set an example for her younger siblings. Instead, everyone doted on her, raising her into a wealthy young lady with a carefree, lie-flat temperament.
After her younger sister took her place in a marriage, everyone in Xijing waited to see her make a fool of herself.
But she simply shut the doors and lived more comfortably than anyone else.
She smiled sweetly and wished the newlyweds a lifetime together, then turned around, lay flat, and thought that in this life she would become everyone's beloved, sickly little darling. She had no idea someone had already set their sights on her.
By a twist of fate, Pei Zisi came back to life.
He had been a fine young general, yet met an early and unhappy end. He was deeply dissatisfied with such a fate.
He could avoid the disaster that threatened his life.
He could also handle the crisis at home neatly and properly.
He had thought it would be enough to live as a fine, upstanding man in this life. But while training soldiers through wind and rain, he heard that his cousin, who lived high above the clouds, had been jilted. He dropped everything and rode north at full speed, afraid she would suffer the indignity of being talked about after her broken engagement!
But when he arrived in Xijing, he realized he had been worrying for nothing.
At a family banquet, the elders all vowed to find her the finest man in the world. Pei Zisi gazed at her with a smile, his cheeks flushed, and leaned toward her.
"Your cousin has admired you for a long time, A Nian. I've waited for years. Would you be willing to make me your husband?"
Everyone fell silent. They had never seen anyone behave so shamelessly in front of their elders!
Jiang Shiyuan tilted her head and studied the man before her, sensing something was off. Could he have been reborn too???
