(1970s, Rebirth, Spatial Storage, Alternate History, Face-Slapping Revenge, Devoted Male Lead)
On the day of her wedding, Lin Ruochu opens her eyes—and finds herself reborn.
In her previous life, she was framed on her wedding day and woke up in bed with Fu Tingshi. Caught “in the act” by her new husband, she was condemned in disgrace while Fu Tingshi was sent away in political exile. From that moment on, she spent the rest of her marriage living under her husband’s contempt.
Only as she lay dying did Lin Ruochu learn the truth: everything had been a carefully planned conspiracy orchestrated by her so-called best friend, Xia Lin, and her childhood sweetheart-turned-husband, Lu Yichen.
Because of their scheme, she devoted her life to caring for her sickly in-laws and even raised the lovers’ child as her own. Once they had drained every last bit of value from her, they cast her aside. Sick, broken, and filled with regret, she died with nothing.
Given a second chance, Lin Ruochu refuses to be fooled again. On her wedding day, she calls off the marriage without hesitation.
Since they manipulated her so thoroughly in her previous life, this time she’ll simply let Xia Lin and Lu Yichen have each other. But without Lin Ruochu caught between them, their perfect romance quickly falls apart. The couple who once loved each other until old age now can’t stand the sight of one another—and would rather kill each other than stay together.
Just after breaking off her engagement, the equally victimized Fu Tingshi appears and insists, “I have to take responsibility for you.”
Lin Ruochu immediately refuses.
“I don’t need your responsibility.”
But Fu Tingshi is nothing if not persistent.
“Then,” he says with a grin, “you can take responsibility for me.”
With a fiercely devoted military officer who only has eyes for her and the chance to rewrite her destiny, Lin Ruochu is determined to get the revenge—and the happiness—she deserved all along.
