I've suffered enough in my past life; the Cousin Lady refuses to marry to the death.

Ye Wanshu had always believed she would marry one of the two brothers. However, in her previous life, during the joyous banquet celebrating her coming-of-age ceremony and engagement, the two brothers had competed to marry a woman from a brothel, causing her to become the laughingstock of all Lin'an City. Her misfortune for the rest of her life began there, as she tasted every hardship with a tragic price. Having been reborn, Ye Wanshu only wanted to stay far away from these two brothers. When she packed her belongings and left the Duke's estate, both Gu Tingzhou and Gu Tingchen thought she was merely putting on an act. The brothers dismissed her with disdain: "If you keep acting, it will get boring. You are nothing but a lowly merchant's daughter; once you leave the Duke's estate, there will come a day when you regret it." Ye Wanshu left resolutely. She had intended to marry an ordinary gentleman and spend her life by his side, but the destitute scholar she had saved on a whim turned out to be the newly appointed Top Scholar. On the day the results were posted, countless high officials and nobles scrambled to marry off their daughters, yet the Top Scholar walked toward Ye Wanshu with eyes full of affection. "Wanwan, I have only two wishes in this life: first, to pass the imperial examinations in my youth; second, to spend the rest of my life staying by your side, year after year." Just as Ye Wanshu was enjoying her perfect life, a certain demonic member of the imperial clan from Yuezhou used a lost handkerchief of hers to bring her back to the Prince of Yongning's manor. On her wedding day, the Gu brothers, who had been waiting for her to regret her choices, grew frantic with jealousy. They traveled thousands of miles to Yuezhou, staring at her with eyes so fierce and terrifying it was as if she had been unfaithful.
