Short Drama After Rebirth,
In her previous life, Jiang Xiaoci rejected a scumbag’s marriage proposal. In retaliation, he falsely accused her family of being capitalists. Their property was confiscated, and the entire family was exiled to the countryside.
Having learned of the impending disaster beforehand, her parents sacrificed everything to protect her. Believing the seemingly kind and trustworthy scumbag could keep her safe, they married her off to him and prepared an exceptionally generous dowry.
Instead, marriage became a living nightmare.
Her husband abused her, cheated on her openly, and tormented her for three long years until she finally died a miserable death. Before she took her last breath, his mistress even came to gloat over her.
Reborn three years earlier, Jiang Xiaoci vows that this time, she will never let that scumbag get his way.
Armed with a contract-bound pocket dimension, she hides away her family’s wealth and changes her wedding plans entirely—marrying the scumbag’s mysterious younger uncle instead.
In her previous life, Jiang Xiaoci only knew that Lu Zhoushan had an enigmatic identity and seemed to work on secret assignments for the country. She had once witnessed a high-ranking military officer in uniform treating him with the utmost respect. Yet not even the Lu family knew exactly who he was.
She decides to marry him. At the very least, if the scumbag has any tricks left up his sleeve, this man should be capable of protecting her parents.
Besides, Lu Zhoushan has another advantage.
He’s incredibly handsome… but supposedly frail and sickly.
In her previous life, Jiang Xiaoci had personally overheard him brushing off marriage by saying that even if he got married, he’d have the will but not the ability. From that, she concluded he probably wasn’t very capable in that department, making him the perfect, low-risk husband!
However…
The morning after their wedding night, Jiang Xiaoci clutched her aching waist and grumbled,
“To hell with your ‘having the will but not the ability’! From what I can tell, you’ve got plenty of ability!”
