After Tang Guo finished getting dressed, she looked at the rustic clothes on her body and confirmed the timeline.
The system, seeing that Tang Guo was dressed, came online as well. [Host, congratulations. You got married the moment you arrived.]
Tang Guo: “…”
“Accept the plot.”
[…Okay.]
Tang Guo leaned against the folded quilt, closed her eyes, and calmly received the plot of this world.
This world tells the story of a reborn woman, one who lived a bitter life for most of her years, full of regret. After her death, she was reborn and decided to seize the things she had once thrown away, determined to live a good life.
If everything on the surface was really as it appeared, then there would be no criticism toward the reborn woman and the original owner would not have ended up as cannon fodder.
Chen Ying is the reborn heroine in this world.
The story began in Chen Ying’s previous life. In Tangjia Village, one of the educated youths was named Song Ye. He was as handsome as Pan An. Every time the village girls saw him, they would be starry-eyed.
Chen Ying was no exception. Although the other girls in the village liked Song Ye, they valued their reputations more.
Chen Ying, however, had always been bolder than the others. At first, she approached him slowly. Later, seeing that Song Ye was unwilling, she decided to go all out. She staged a scene in which the two of them fell into the water together.
As a result, Song Ye had no choice but to marry Chen Ying.
Chen Ying believed that since things had come to this, Song Ye would surely spend his whole life with her.
She never expected that although Song Ye appeared to be a weak scholar, he was extremely stubborn. He spent his whole life with her as a married couple in name only.
Not long after, the college entrance examination was reinstated. Chen Ying saw Song Ye studying diligently. Fearing that he would leave her, and also wanting to take revenge for being treated as unimportant, she repeatedly tore up his study materials.
Countless times, she disrupted Song Ye’s efforts to take the college entrance exam. In the end, he never managed to attend, and she achieved her goal.
For the rest of her life, Chen Ying became like a resentful woman. She refused to divorce, refused to let Song Ye go, and clung to him her entire life. She remained physically untouched. Right before she died, she finally came to regret everything.
When she was twenty-eight, she ran into her former fiancé, Xie Shijun, the one she had broken off her engagement with. He had already become a regiment commander. Beside him stood a beautiful, fashionable woman. This was none other than the daughter of the village chief in Tangjia Village, known as the village’s flower.
This was Chen Ying’s greatest regret. If she had not canceled the engagement, the one being publicly called the commander’s wife might have been her.
Just before her death, that memory resurfaced again, filling her heart with regret.
When she opened her eyes once more, everything had returned to the beginning. She had not yet married Song Ye, nor had she broken off the engagement with the Xie family.
She decided that in this life, she would live well with Xie Shijun and would no longer become entangled with Song Ye.
If the story had stopped there, it would not have been bad. But Chen Ying saw the beautiful village girl and looked again at her own sallow skin and skinny frame. She became afraid that Xie Shijun would not like her, and that the village girl might become a threat to her marriage.
So… she did something.
She orchestrated another staged incident, causing the village girl and Song Ye to fall into the water together. She made sure the entire village saw it. At that time, people still cared about reputation. Even the village chief had no choice but to have his daughter marry the poor educated youth.
Seeing this part of the plot, Tang Guo frowned. “What about the rest of the plot?”
[Host, this is a novel world, and it was written by a scumbag author. This is all there is. What happens next is up to you.]
