Demon Painting

In her past life, Xia Chu lost her virginity before marriage and was scorned by her family as a wanton woman, forced to marry an old widower with a limp. Her aunt and mother died one after another because of her. Fleeing alone to the south to work, she suffered a hard life and eventually died tragically at the hands of a scoundrel. 
Reborn, she is determined to protect those who love her and those she loves, to rewrite destiny. Those who framed her, she will make them suffer the consequences; those who forced her, she will make them kneel and beg for mercy; and those who killed her, she will make them wish they were dead!
By the way, that tall, stoic man with good looks, loyalty, and skills, I might as well marry you since you’ve got it all.

After Marrying the Officer

"Oh, if there's anything else on your mind, say it all." Huo Shiqian's voice betrayed no emotion.


Xia Chuyi sighed, relaxed her body, and leaned against the back of the chair.


"Huo Shiqian, setting aside family background, personality, status... I'm only eighteen. There are still so many things I want to do, and I don't want to enter into marriage prematurely."


Images from her past life surfaced one by one in her mind.


"I have my own convictions, and people I need to protect. I can't fall into the role of a wife..."


"The person you want to protect, who is that?" Huo Shiqian's voice contained the undercurrent of a storm.


"You're overthinking it. It's not He Qing, nor Xia Lan..."


Having said that, she suddenly bit her tongue.


How did she read into Huo Shiqian's intentions again?


She coughed, pretending it was accidental, and changed the subject: "The person I want to protect is my uncle."
