In her past life, Ashley Shaw was a hopeless romantic who married Warren Prescott in place of his first love, devotedly cooking and caring for him, only to end up with a tragic ending of death for both her and her unborn child. Reborn back to her high school days, she becomes disillusioned with Warren Prescott, and her life now centers on two principles. 1. Focus on her studies. 2. Stay away from Warren Prescott.
