In the past life she was stripped from her inheritance by a scumbag who forced her husband’s death and is responsible for her death during her pregnancy. When she opens her eyes again, she’s back to the place where her mother drugged and sold her to. It was the scumbag who rescued her but she went directly into the arms of her “husband” begging for him to take her away.
She became the well-known among the upper class of Beijing as the arrogant young miss. But nobody knew that she gave it her all just to court her ‘husband’. A lot of time Mo Beichen couldn’t help but wonder, “Xia Weilan, what do you want to do?

A cold, possessive but also sweet and warm to the Female Main Character (FMC), yes.
A cheeky sidekick trying to win over a cold female bodyguard. Yes.
The FMC is clever enough with business matters that you don’t have to worry about the 19-year-old having as much responsibility as she does. A rare thing is that this FMC actually asks for help. So many times the FMC needs to achieve everything on her own that it can get frustrating and annoying. Getting help doesn’t make you weak, and asking for help doesn’t mean you can’t do something. Weilan gets help. She also has some pretty good luck. She is a bit innocent, considering that this is her second life and everything she has experienced. That part doesn’t make much sense, but fine. Just let her be doe-eyed.
The main couple doesn’t have many misunderstandings caused by miscommunication, which is nice. However, the Male Lead (ML) can have a bit of a jealous, sulky streak.
Is this something that I would put on my top 10 list? No.
Is it something I will keep reading? Yes.
Is it something I would recommend to others? If this is a troupe you enjoy, then sure.
The first half of the description is fine, the second paragraph isn’t really relevant. She doesn’t become arrogant, and she doesn’t really have to do much to get the ML to like her.
FL whose halo is so powerful? Yes.
ML, the typical overbearing CEO who only has eyes for her? Yes.
Just a typical dog blood reincarnation novel. The novel follows a predictable loop: FL encounters a new environment where she is underestimated or hated and faces setbacks and trials, from which she emerges victorious, drawing admiration from the 'masses' and the support of powerful backers. Plus, some envy her and attack her pointlessly, leading to their pitiful fall.
Every time she is 'attacked,' the ML magically appears and saves her. (Or maybe not so magically, given the author’s lousy reasoning.) This makes me wonder if he is really a CEO or a stalking bodyguard. It happens so many times that even I can’t turn a blind eye to it. She always escapes unscathed, which just makes me want to stick my nails in her flesh and draw blood to do the villains a favor.
The villains aren’t creative with their attacks either. Spoiler:
They always send some hooligans to rape her. Come on, it’s the 21st century! There are plenty of ways to ruin someone without touching them.
Plus, the villains are usually girls, which annoys me to no end. Ouyang Mingqi, who seemingly had a big impact in the last life, is forgotten by the author (not mentioned for 25+ chapters).
The villains make no sense. Their vengeance against the FL stems from nothing meaningful. They really have no sense of self-preservation. In stark contrast, all the big shots make a big deal out of her. Spoiler:
I pity Xia Roulin. Darling, if you only focused on yourself instead of worrying about others, you would have made so much progress. It’s not like you were unnecessarily oppressed.
Overused plot, mediocre execution.
All in all, I liked it. I came for the 'husband-teasing' and stayed for the nonsensical plot. It’s like eating the cardboard pizzas in my school cafeteria. It was horrid, but I still spent my money on it. It was addicting and sometimes even downright hilarious because of the nonsense.
But I won’t be sticking around for the updates, maybe come back if I’m bored out of my mind. I bet this book is going to have 1000+ chapters (if I’m wrong, forget you ever read this).
The translation is phenomenal, though. Kudos to you, translator.
If it was just about her fixing her mistakes and changing things from the past, it’d be fine, but with the addition of the developing relationship with her husband, it’s really not working for me. He is my least favorite character in the novel at this point, and that’s saying something!!!
