Shen Hua, the daughter of the Shen family that ran an embroidery business in Fengzhou, was pampered since she was a child. She had a pretty face and smooth, fair skin. Unfortunately, her body was weak, and she'd run out of breath after walking merely a few steps. She didn't have very long to live.

The Shen family gradually faced its downfall, and her wedding was delayed again and again.

Cui Yun, the eldest son of the Cui family, was a noble and stern man. He was entrusted to look after Shen Hua. Why not just marry her? He thought.

Since Shen Hua reincarnated, she had focused all her attention on the embroidery business. She hoped to change her life and regain her former glory.

When she heard about Cui Yun's decision to marry her, she fainted on the spot.

After waking up, she turned him down with tears in her eyes. "I don't have very long to live. I don't want to waste your time."

Cui Yun was very considerate. "It's not a big deal. I know you feel touched, but there's no need to cry. Since you already depend on the Cui family, you might as well just become part of us. After you die from your sickness, I'll even hold a grand funeral for you."

Shen Hua felt hopeless. But I'm only pretending to be sick!
***
Cui Yun had many younger female cousins.

Many of them had confessed their feelings for him, but he turned all of them down nonchalantly.

"It's getting late. Please look after yourself."

Shen Hua had never met such a clueless man when it came to romance.

One night, while she was on her way home, she took a shortcut and passed by the Cui family's courtyard. Cui Yun stopped her.

He was standing near the entrance, and his sleeves danced to the wind.

"It's cold outside. Would you like to come in and stay for a while?"

"I have prepared quite a lot of silver this time." Xue Shuyue flaunted the bulging money bag in front of Zhang Su.


"As agreed, you have to accompany me there."


Zhang Su originally planned to embroider a wedding dress, but ultimately she couldn't refuse Xue Shuyue, and she tactfully said, "I think you might want to reconsider."


"It's you who should reconsider. Just wait and see, you will regret if you don't buy it."


As soon as the two left West Garden, they bumped into Shen Hua.


Xue Shuyue's smile gradually faded. She turned her face away and remained silent.


Zhang Su gently tugged at her and then awkwardly smiled lightly: "Miss Shen."


Shen Hua glanced casually at the money bag in Xue Shuyue's hand and her lips curled into a sarcastic smile.


"What are you laughing at?" Xue Shuyue felt uncomfortable.


I was ready to argue with you, and you compliment me?
