After finally passing the civil service exam and securing a stable job, Jiang Youyou is reborn into the body of a cannon fodder character in a 1970s novel. In the original story, the female lead breaks off her engagement with the cold and intimidating male lead and is frightened to death by him, a man rumored to be infertile.
Jiang Youyou endures nineteen years and then travels to the capital with the keepsake to break off the engagement, intending to clear the way for the male lead and the novel’s widowed female lead.
Unexpectedly, on the night before she formally ends the engagement, she stays at a guesthouse and ends up sleeping with a stranger.
While angrily confronting him afterward, she discovers that the jade pendant he left behind actually contains the spatial ability she has been searching for all her life. What seemed like a misfortune turns into a major gain.
Feeling she has come out ahead, Jiang Youyou still goes to the Pei family to cancel the engagement. However, she discovers that the man kneeling in the courtyard arguing with his family over the broken engagement is the very same man she spent the night with.
He has someone he likes? He is still involved with the widowed female lead? And he also slept with her?
Jiang Youyou decides to teach this irresponsible man a lesson.
She tells the elder in the family that she is there to fulfill the engagement and that she does not care whether Pei Huai Zhou is infertile, insisting she is willing to marry him and stay with him for life.
Her sincerity quickly wins the favor of the Pei family, and she becomes their cherished favorite.
Pei Huai Zhou believed he had slept with a comrade’s younger sister. While resisting the arranged marriage at home, he searches everywhere for the woman he lost.
When he finally discovers that the person he has been looking for is right in front of him, even introduced as a potential match and adopted goddaughter, he loses control completely.
Jiang Youyou, you slept with me and still want to break off the engagement? And still want to become my god-sister?
Pei Huai Zhou pins her against the door, speaking through gritted teeth.
Under his overwhelming “revenge,” Jiang Youyou realizes she has finally kicked an iron plate.
“Pei Huai Zhou, the bed has already collapsed… please let me go tonight.”
