Wen Ning has been reborn. In her previous life, she was the dutiful daughter‑in‑law, considerate wife, and endlessly supportive partner. She endured until her husband Song Yan rose to the top as the imperial examination champion. Everyone said she was blessed—yet Song Yan never loved her. Together with his mistress, he plotted her downfall.
Awakening after death, Wen Ning discovers her legitimate younger sister clamoring to swap marriage matches. Perfect—let her! Wen Ning is determined to see whether, without her sacrifices, Song Yan can still climb so high.
Rumor has it the Shen family’s young heir is a reckless wastrel—wild, unruly, forever brandishing his spear, brawling in the streets, a lawless youth. But after marrying the Wen family’s illegitimate daughter, he takes up arms to defend the nation, hands over all his salary and estate, and devotes himself entirely to his household.
One day, he pulls the little bride into his arms, his voice lazy and teasing: “I can barely rely on my wife to support me—where would I find the money to keep another woman…”
A tender, sweet romance with no domineering heroine—lighthearted and heart‑warming in tone.
