The Young Mistress is Fragile

After her second sister took her place in a marriage arrangement, everyone in Xijing was waiting to see her become a laughingstock. As for her, she lived more freely behind closed doors than anyone else. Smiling sweetly, she offered her congratulations to the newlyweds to grow old together, then turned around to lie flat, thinking that in this life, she would definitely make a good, sickly little darling of the family—unaware that she had long since been targeted by someone. ****** By a stroke of luck, Pei Zisu had come back to life. A fine young general ending up with a short life and a miserable death was an outcome that left him feeling extremely dissatisfied. A disaster involving bloodshed? He could avoid it. A crisis within the family? He could handle it perfectly well. He had originally thought that in this life, he would simply be a fine, upright man, but who would have thought that while training in the elements, he would hear that his cousin, who lived high up in the clouds, had actually been broken off from her engagement? Thus, he dropped everything and rode north, all because he was afraid she would suffer the grievance of being criticized due to the broken engagement! But when he arrived at Xijing City, he realized he had overthought things. Though her engagement to the Heir had been broken, the families lining up to marry this Jiang family cousin stretched for two miles. ****** At the family banquet, the elders were all declaring that they would find the best man in the world for her. Pei Zisu gazed at her with smiling eyes, his cheeks flushed red as he leaned forward. "Cousin has admired A-Nian for a long time and has waited bitterly for many years. I wonder, is A-Nian willing to let me be your husband?" Everyone fell silent; they had never seen someone so unrestrained in front of their elders! Jiang Shiyuan, however, tilted her head, feeling that the look in the man's eyes was somewhat off. Could it be that he had also been reborn???
