In her previous life, Xiao Nianyao got married on the same day as her best friend. By chance, she avoided her best friend’s scheme to swap brides. She thought she had found a good match, but instead she entered a noble household full of misery. Her husband was cold-hearted and indifferent; in all their years together, she never received a shred of warmth. She worked herself to death in the Marquis’s residence, only to watch her best friend walk through the gates at her final breath—her lifetime of toil had merely paved the way for another.
Suddenly, she returned to that wedding day. This time, she willingly fell into the trap, boarding the wrong bridal sedan chair as she wished.
Now, she refuses to enter the Marquis’s household again. All she desires is peace and harmony, nothing more.
But unexpectedly, the once cold and indifferent Xie Anxun went mad with red eyes, using every means to beg her to return: “You were once my wife…”
Without Xiao Nianyao’s careful management, the Marquis’s household descended into chaos—scandals exposed, secrets uncovered.
By the time the Marquis’s residence collapsed, Xiao Nianyao was already seated as the General’s wife, granted the title of First-Rank Lady. Her husband cherished her, their children flourished, while Xie Anxun could only look on without emotion: “I have never known the heir of the Xie family.”
Everyone in the capital believed Lu Fengxing had lucked out, marrying the most beautiful noblewoman. They pitied the Xiao family’s eldest daughter for being given to a rough, boorish warrior of brute strength. Little did they know, this despised “crude man” possessed endurance and true ability that no one else could match.
Lu Fengxing: “From the first moment I saw you, I wanted you…”
Lu Fengxing: “If you could willingly give yourself to me just once, I could die without regret.”
