Wen Nian reincarnated. This was an opportunity God gave her. In her previous life, she was a girl from an ordinary family, but she had unrealistic dreams. She regretted trusting her best friend, who turned out to be a bitch, and she made the mistake of loving her enemy. She lamented how vain she'd been. Even after the jerk called off the wedding, she still couldn't get over him. To retaliate, she started having casual flings with other men. On the surface, it seemed like she was living a glamorous life. However, on the inside, she felt disgusted with herself. In the end, someone framed her for a crime she didn't commit, and she went to prison. At the time, she'd constantly imagine returning to the jerk's side. She indirectly killed her own brother for the jerk. Her mother also lost her life in the hospital after a failed attempt to resuscitate her. To please the jerk, Wen Nian was persuaded by her best friend to enter the complicated world of showbiz. She put on a lot of makeup to win audiences over. She only realized her best friend was actually the jerk's lover when she went to prison! Wen Nian spent ten years in prison. She was supposed to only be there for ten years, but the higher-ups said she didn't perform well, and she knew they wouldn't let her go so easily. In the end, she died a terrible death in prison. Surprisingly, she also obtained the chance to reincarnate. She reincarnated to the time when she was seventeen. At the time, she still hadn't made any of the mistakes she had made in her past life. She decided to call off the engagement as soon as possible and avoid the jerk. She'd live a grounded life and protect her own family. Gradually, Wen Nian's life returned to the right path. She met someone new. He seemed ordinary, but he was very good to her. One day, he pointed at a bigshot on television and introduced the man to Wen Nian. "That's my grandfather." "Huh?" Wen Nian gasped.
