The Gilded Hairpin

[Charming heroine] [Aloof on the outside, warm-hearted and fiercely protective hero]

On the way to her wedding, Shen Qingtang has a dream that reveals the futile, absurd life she lived in her previous life.

She had poured her heart and soul into using her medical skills to pave the way for her husband and help him rise to the top.

Yet her stepsister, Shen Wanyu, who had come to seek shelter after being widowed, easily took everything from her.

When Shen Qingtang caught them in bed, she was the one who got scolded and cursed.

“You can be generous to everyone else, so why can’t you tolerate your own sister?”

“Your virtue was all an act, wasn’t it?”

When she wakes from the dream, Shen Wanyu tells her that they are switching grooms.

It turns out Shen Wanyu has been reborn. In this life, she has not only stolen the illustrious groom Shen Qingtang was promised since childhood,

she also plans to foist on her the short-lived general from her previous life.

Her father and brothers favor Shen Wanyu, and the marriage contract is already settled. Looking at the smug face before her, Shen Qingtang can only laugh coldly inside.

She has no interest in a faithless, unfeeling man. If Shen Wanyu wants the glory Shen Qingtang had in her previous life, she will find it is not so easy to take.

She seeks out Xie Yanzhi, who has no intention of marrying, and proposes a sham marriage by agreement, with a divorce after two years.

But if this marriage is supposed to be fake, why is the cold-faced general looking at her with ever more burning eyes?

Wasn’t he supposed to be of humble birth? How could he be a world-renowned nobleman in disguise?

When Shen Qingtang brings up their agreement, he pulls her tightly into his arms:

“The contract? I don’t want to keep it. I only want to keep you.”

Who could have guessed that the short-lived general from her previous life would give her a lifetime of peace and dote on her with all his heart?
