Chapter 1

I damaged an eye trying to save my fiancé trapped in the barn.

To repay my kindness, he was forced to marry me.

I bore him children and served his parents, yet he always thought my marriage to him was a scheme, never showing me a kind face!

"If it weren't for you, Xiaowan and I wouldn't have been separated for thirty years!"

Later, when his white moonlight divorced, they eloped and accidentally fell off a cliff, yet the children blamed everything on me!

"If it weren't for you, how would Dad have died!"

I succumbed to depression amid accusations, and when I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day I saved him in a previous life!

This time, I didn't save him; instead, I found my father's student.

"You promised to take care of me for a lifetime; does that still count?"

...

"Someone hurry, who will go save Cheng Kang!"

"The fire is so big, if no one goes to save him, Cheng Kang will really die!"

The discussions around me suddenly cleared my mind.

I opened my eyes, and it was not the filthy walls of the psychiatric hospital that were in front of me.

But rather thirty years ago, the bleak beginning of my life in 1976!

The crowd around me whispered the same words as in my previous life.

"Su Niannian, figure out a way to save your man, or he'll die!"

It was this very day in my previous life!

Cheng Kang, for reasons unknown, was trapped in the barn, and some mischievous children started a fire nearby; when the crowd returned from the event, they saw the fire growing bigger!

I panicked, threw on a wet blanket, and rushed inside to save him, getting burned and bedridden for months.

On the day I was discharged, Cheng Kang voluntarily came to propose to me, saying he would be responsible.

I thought it was the beginning of happiness, only to learn later he never loved me at all!

He had long wanted to break off the engagement but was forced by the Cheng Family because I had saved his life.

I even discovered from letters between him and his first love that he was in the barn that day to express his feelings to her. Cheng Kang said, "If I can have your heart, I'd willingly go to prison for stealing."

Even though I later gave birth to his smart children and managed all the household chores, in his eyes, I was always a scheming woman.

Because from the start, everything was wrong!

Given another chance, since he was willing to go to jail to express his feelings to his white moonlight, why should I make a fool of myself standing in their way?

I turned and left; since he blamed me for ruining his happiness, I wouldn't interfere this time!

The next moment, the crowd burst into exclamations.

When I turned around, I saw Cheng Kang, who was supposed to be passed out from smoke inside, stagger out!

As soon as Cheng Kang came out, he found me directly in the crowd.

He leaned close and mocked me in a low voice.

"Didn't think I'd escape on my own, did you? Don't worry, I won't let you cling to me this time!"

It turns out he had been reborn too!

I stepped back coldly and said, "I didn't plan to save you."

Only then did Cheng Kang realize, unlike last time when I rushed into the fire with a wet blanket, I stood there clean and dry, clearly not intending to go over.

Already dissatisfied with me, he snorted coldly, "Is this your attitude as a fiancée? Fine, go back and get money, help me compensate for the barn. Though the fire wasn't my fault, I bear some responsibility, so you cough up some cash for the loss."

How ridiculous, everyone knew the whole thing had nothing to do with me, yet Cheng Kang insisted I patch his leaks!

It seemed that in his heart, I was just a foolish, deep-pocketed pushover.

I sneered and asked those around, "Does anyone have money? Who has extra cash to lend Cheng Kang; otherwise, he'll come to me for money!"

Upon hearing this, everyone ridiculed him.

"How can you, a grown man, still rely on a woman to pay up?"

"Exactly, no one's even said you should pay up, and you're already desperate to use someone else's money to show off?"

All his previous life, Cheng Kang lived in luxury, never having faced such words.

He couldn't get angry, furrowing his brow as he changed the topic, "Su Niannian didn't act to save me when her fiancé was in trouble, instead standing by laughing. I can't marry such a woman!"

Finally reborn, how could I keep enduring such humiliation?

I crossed my arms and sneered, "With such a dangerous fire, none of those men dared to rescue you, yet you want me to die with you?"

Everyone knows I've been frail since I was a child!

"Yeah, Niannian's been sickly since young; even if she really went in, she wouldn't have the strength to carry you out."

"Exactly, Cheng Kang, you got out yourself; why fuss over these things?"

"With such a big fire, even their parents wouldn't dare go in to rescue, right?"
