sealing a challenge

The village girl who was close to death from illness was about to marry, and her suitor was a strong and hearty hunter. Having time-traveled to a poor and backward mountain village, she had resigned herself to the lack of three square meals a day, but was her new body already halfway into the grave? What's more curious was that someone still wanted to marry her despite being on her deathbed? Driven by curiosity, she went ahead with the marriage, eager to see who the unlucky sap was who'd lose his betrothal gifts and even the coffin money. Cradled in his arms, her body was thin as a rake, and she really wanted to ask him, "Husband, does holding me hurt your hands?"

In her previous life, Yu Sheng entered a political marriage with Shen Yunmian and devoted everything she had to that relationship. What she got in return was the loss of her child… and a sudden death at a young age. After her soul left her body, she saw her wife of seven years chatting and laughing happily with another woman. Her heart felt like it was being cut by knives, and she finally understood— This marriage had long since become shackles that bound her, suffocating and hopeless. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the day she lost her child. Yu Sheng decided to live differently this time, to completely break free from this marriage and pursue her true self. She would no longer be a sacrifice to love, nor would she continue compromising for that wife who always put rationality above all else. In this life, she would make Shen Yunmian taste what it felt like to be ignored… and neglected. — Shen Yunmian, a business elite, had received a strict education since childhood and was used to controlling everything. Her wife, Yu Sheng, was gentle, elegant, rational, and sensible—the “perfect partner” in her heart. Although the two didn’t communicate much, they were recognized in high society as a model couple. But for some reason, Yu Sheng suddenly became cold and distant toward her, even openly proposing divorce. For the first time, Shen Yunmian panicked, abandoning all composure to try to win her back. “Shengsheng, I’ll change. Please don’t divorce me.” But she only received a cold reply: “Don’t degrade yourself. The way you cling desperately is really ugly.” When the memories of her past life flooded back, Shen Yunmian finally experienced the heart-wrenching pain Yu Sheng once endured. She knew she no longer had any right to beg for forgiveness. And the child she carried in her womb, which she had intended to use to salvage their relationship… Now, she could no longer bring herself to mention it. In her past life, she was cold as ice. In this life, she humbly begs. — Disclaimer: All rights to the original content belong to their respective creator.
