Gu Xi was once the cannon-fodder beauty in a retro-era novel.
After wandering as a lonely ghost for decades, she was reborn.
The very first thing she did after returning was to tie up her so-called “blood-related” elder and younger brothers—who never treated her like a real sister—along with the fake daughter of the family, and beat them all to her heart’s content. Finally, she felt satisfied.
After venting her anger, she left the Gu household with her luggage amidst their furious shouting and headed straight to her fiancé’s home.
In her past life, her fiancé’s family treated her exceptionally well. Her father- and mother-in-law regarded her as their own daughter and even wished she were truly born into the Shen family.
Gu Xi thought, ‘Well, I can’t be their daughter, but being their adopted daughter is fine too!’
She also wanted to cancel the engagement so she wouldn’t delay Shen Mingzheng’s future. She was willing to recognize her in-laws as her adoptive parents and sincerely care for them.
Remembering how, in her previous life, Shen Mingzheng never married after her death, guilt weighed heavily on her heart. She did not want to hold him back again.
But to her surprise, the man flatly refused. With a murderous aura, he demanded:
“What exactly about me are you dissatisfied with? I can change!”
The look in his eyes wasn’t of someone willing to change. Instead, it was as if, should she dare utter a single word of refusal, he would kill her on the spot.
Gu Xi fell silent.
In truth, there wasn’t anything about him that she disliked.
So… the only option left was to marry him!
