Ye Ximeng and her stepsister Ye Xiaorou have both been reborn.
The first thing her stepsister does is snatch away the man who was a “rising star” husband in their previous life. In exchange, she dumps the scion of Beijing’s elite circle onto Ye Ximeng—a man from a distinguished family who is a devout lay Buddhist and rumored to be impotent.
Ye Ximeng simply smiles. If her stepsister wants to snatch him, let her; it just so happens she has no desire to jump into the fiery pit of the Lu family again.
…
When Ye Ximeng married the Buddhist scion, she had it all planned out.
She would stay in her grand villa, keep the crystal lamps burning bright, and prepare herself for a life of solitude, much like a monk tending to a guttering lamp. She would mind her own business and stay out of his way.
She just wanted to live her own peaceful life.
But she never expected that the Buddhist scion would be such a man—so pure and untainted by the dust of the world. One look into his eyes, and she knew he was exactly the kind of man she wanted.
…
Ye Ximeng is a master of incense; she understands, loves, and knows how to craft it.
Every day, the villa is filled with a refreshing and soul-soothing aroma. From the long-lost Goose Pear Bed-curtain Incense to Spring Message in Snow… her life is exquisite.
Except for the lack of a man.
…
The Buddhist scion is also a lover of incense.
One night, he happens to step into the bridal chamber and catches the lingering scent of Goose Pear Bed-curtain Incense in the air. He is stunned by this faint pear fragrance, a scent he has never encountered before.
He plans to ask Ye Ximeng the next morning where she bought it.
When he wakes the next day, he catches another scent wafting from the living room—the crisp, cool fragrance of Spring Message in Snow.
Before the amazement from the previous night’s scent can even fade, his heart and mind are completely captured by this new fragrance.
And for the first time, he truly begins to take notice of the woman he married.
