After being plotted against by her scumbag ex-husband and perishing in a fire, Gu Jia Ning unexpectedly undergoes rebirth. She finds herself in the situation where she jumps into the river during a cold winter to persuade her elder brother to relinquish his job to her ex-husband’s favored educated youth, Wen Zhqing.
In her previous life, her family compromised, leading to her marriage with Wen Zhqing. However, they remained childless for years despite being married. Wen Zhqing took advantage of her to drain her family of their benefits, leading to their downfall. He even plotted against her, causing her death in the fire so he could marry a rich and beautiful woman.
To stay away from the scumbag, after being fished out of the river this time, Gu Jia Ning immediately grabs the matchmaker’s leg who was about to leave and agrees to Sheng Zexi’s marriage proposal.
Broad shoulders and a slim waist, high position and authority... She learned after her death in her previous life that she was indeed the apple of Sheng Zexi, a military bigshot’s eye.

More than a year ago, Gu Jia Ning accidentally found the injured and unconscious Sheng Zexi in the mountains.
She kindly removed her clothes to give to him to wear, leaving herself shivering in the cold.
Sheng Zexi: "Not as good-looking as me, and even without clothes, doesn’t look better than me."
Gu Jia Ning: "This person has such a sharp tongue, he’ll definitely never get a wife."
He was severely injured and unconscious, unable to drink the herbal medicine. She kindly wanted to pry his mouth open to forcibly feed him.
Sheng Zexi: "Keep a bit of distance from me; I’m afraid your stupidity will rub off on me. Obviously, a small bamboo chip would do."
Gu Jia Ning: "This person’s tongue could cut paper, surely destined to die alone."

Who would have thought that more than a year later, upon learning she fell ill after jumping into the river, the already-gone Sheng Zexi sneaked in through the window with supplies?
"Gu Jia Ning, are you tired of living or is there not enough water in your brain? You actually jumped into the river for a pretty boy!"
While scolding her, he fed her painkillers and sweet wine boiled eggs that dispel cold and replenish blood. "If you still foolishly yearn for that pretty boy..."
Gu Jia Ning: "Then I’ll marry you."
Sheng Zexi was stunned on the spot, then went ahead laughingly and married Gu Jia Ning swiftly, even bringing her to join the army!

The military camp wives all said:
Sheng Zexi’s wife is a little rascal, delicate and vain, unwilling to do heavy work, often complaining about fatigue. One day, Sheng Zexi would surely abandon her.
Who would have thought that as soon as the little rascal arrived, she became a doctor in the military district hospital, not only achieving frequent pregnancy but also becoming a famous fertility specialist?
And Sheng Zexi, always rebellious and a thorn in the side, turned into a good father and husband washing sheets by day and diapers by night.

"This is..." Gu Yunzhou frowned, deep in thought.


Wen Zhqing brought this package back from the county town. Inside, apart from those two forbidden books, was this medicine package.


The books are meant to deal with his father and the Gu Family, so this medicine...


Gu Yunzhou cautiously opened the medicine package and quickly saw the powder-like substance inside.


Gu Yunzhou didn't understand medicine or herbs, nor did he know what this powder was.


He pulled out a handkerchief, carefully poured some of the powder from the package onto it, and then painstakingly restored the powder and books to their original state and put them back in their place.


Once the handkerchief was tucked away in his pocket, Gu Yunzhou didn't dare to linger longer. Just as quietly as he came, he jumped out through the window and adjusted it back to its original state, with just a tiny crack.


Outside, Wen Zhqing and Bao Shanyan remained completely unaware.
