I died on my twenty-ninth birthday. I died amidst the flames ignited by the nine hundred and ninety-ninth scent I crafted for Julian Lancaster. While inhaling the scent of cedarwood ignited by my own hands and the smell of my own scorched flesh, I listened to the cries of the firefighters within the raging inferno. "Mr. Lancaster! The fire is too intense, Miss Everard is still inside, if we don't rescue her now, it will be too late!" Outside the fire scene, there was dead silence, broken only by the crackling of burning wood. Julian did not speak, and no one dared to rush in. I watched as the flames consumed the fragrance manuscripts I treasured, those that represented generations of the Everard Family's hard work. My heartbeat grew slower until it finally stopped. In the last moment of fading consciousness, I heard Julian's voice, cold and devoid of any emotion. "As long as the formula is obtained, let her burn completely, saves the trouble." With those parting words, the endless darkness engulfed me entirely. Upon opening my eyes again, I was reborn.

To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water. But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face. He even had his eyes on another woman. It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love. Su Mu expressed her disdain. This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away. She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death. Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family. Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him. “Let’s divorce!” —– Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth. Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu? But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man. Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi. Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship. In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu. Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?” Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings. He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.” [Reading Guide] 1.

To avoid being sent away, she has to marry within seven days. She meets a few ordinary men and decides she'd rather go to the countryside. Then she runs into a neighbor who's also looking for a spouse — and his conditions are surprisingly good. A dowry of three hundred? Bicycles and a radio?

Life is eventful, she gets a salary every month, and the boss is never home. Absolutely perfect. Except... wasn't this big shot supposed to be infertile? Then why does he keep strutting around naked in front of her? She has professional ethics. She won't be seduced by a good body. Hmph. Men only slow down her sword swing.

Lu Feng grinds out through clenched teeth. This woman has no heart. "...Can I say no?" Fu Xiaoxiao swallows, staring at the washboard abs so close. "Such a good deal — are you sure you don't want it?" Lu Feng squints, tempting her. "Fine." A fool turns down a bargain.
