[Era + military marriage + substitute marriage + delicate beauty + sweet love + real and fake daughter + marriage first, love later.]
Reborn at eighteen, Su Niannian swears she won’t repeat the mistakes of her past life. This time, she will protect her brother, join the military arts troupe, and—most importantly—stay far away from Jin Chuan.
Once a fake heiress sent back to the countryside in disgrace, Su Niannian is seen by villagers as nothing but a pretty face. Rumors paint her as utterly useless: she supposedly burned down the kitchen trying to cook, nearly sawed off her foot while harvesting rice, and is plagued with one mishap after another.
In stark contrast, the real heiress is known for being hardworking, sharp, and capable. Yet somehow, it’s the delicate and “useless” Su Niannian whom Wang Guifen chooses to become a substitute bride—to marry the stoic soldier Gu Zhiyue, a man often stationed far away from home…
Now, armed with the knowledge of her past and a fierce determination to change her fate, Su Niannian embarks on a new journey—one filled with secrets, unexpected love, and a second chance at life.
