Feeling the warmth, Shen Qiaoyue seemed to have been rescued from the abyss of a dream and slept soundly.

The next morning, Shen Qiaoyue woke up from her dream by the fragrance.

Shen Qiaoyue opened her eyes and saw this familiar environment.

It wasn't a dream; I really came back.

Thinking about how she misjudged people in her past life, harming those around her and Lu Chen, she couldn't hold back any longer.

"Qiaoyue, why are you crying? Is there something I did wrong?" Lu Chen heard Shen Qiaoyue crying and walked in from outside, asking cautiously.

When Shen Qiaoyue woke up and saw Lu Chen's face, she felt so guilty and heartbroken.

Shen Qiaoyue's delicate face was red from crying as she met Lu Chen's eyes.

His furrowed brows and serious expression really made him look fierce.

"Lu Chen, I'm scared, I want you to hold me!" Shen Qiaoyue felt a strong sense of security when she smelled Lu Chen's scent.

"I'm cooking, and I smell really strongly of cooking oil on me." Lu Chen looked at himself; he was cooking in just a shirt, and his face and hands were red from the cold.

Shen Qiaoyue was pampered in the city, so she definitely couldn't stand this smell.

"I don't mind, can you hug me?" Shen Qiaoyue just wanted him to hug her.

Lu Chen wiped the moisture off his hands onto his clothes.

Holding Shen Qiaoyue in my arms, I felt her thin, small, and soft, boneless body.

He was used to being rough and was afraid that he would hurt Shen Qiaoyue.

"He's warm, he's alive." When Shen Qiaoyue held Lu Chen, it didn't feel like a dream; he had truly come back to life.

After hearing Shen Qiaoyue's strange words, Lu Chen patted her shoulder helplessly and said, "I am your husband, of course I am alive."

Shen Qiaoyue was still shaken.

"Lu Chen! You must treat me well, I can't lose you." Shen Qiaoyue said in a choked voice, "I don't want to leave you, I'll do whatever you want, I'll have your baby, I'll buy you candy, okay?"

Hearing what Shen Qiaoyue said, Lu Chen finally felt relieved and hugged the person in his arms tighter, saying, "Okay, I won't leave you, but you are my wife, and I will listen to whatever you say."

As long as his wife is doing what's best for him and for the family, he doesn't need her to listen to him; he just needs to listen to her.

"Don't cry, or people will think I'm bullying you," Lu Chen comforted Shen Qiaoyue.

Shen Qiaoyue released herself from Lu Chen's embrace, sniffed, and her tears were wiped away little by little by Lu Chen's calloused fingers.

"Can you get up?" Lu Chen suddenly asked Shen Qiaoyue, his face flushed.

"No, it hurts!" Shen Qiaoyue was still in a lot of pain; her legs were weak and she couldn't walk.

Lu Chen said, "I'll bring the food to your room for you to eat. Wait for me a moment."

Shen Qiaoyue reluctantly let go of Lu Chen's hand and watched him go out to bring the food to her room.

Lu Chen's cooking skills were actually just so-so, but Shen Qiaoyue still ate a lot.

"Lu Chen, your cooking is so good, all of these dishes are delicious." Shen Qiaoyue praised Lu Chen while eating.

Lu Chen's eyes crinkled into crescents, clearly flattered by Shen Qiaoyue's praise.

After finishing his meal, Lu Chen went to wash the dishes.

Shen Qiaoyue lay in bed; the winter weather was truly cold.

It is now 1966, the beginning of the "sent-down youth" program and a trend of cultural development.

Many people were forced to go to the countryside.

If Yang Qingshan hadn't reported them in my past life, my family wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

They donated all their savings, sold their piano and violin, and saved some of the money.

We also found a place to store the gold that we had stored at home before.

It was because Yang Qingshan married Shen Qiaoyue that he learned where the gold was hidden. He went ahead and dug up the gold, then kept two pieces and reported his parents.

This led to his parents being sent to the countryside, and then, on the farm, he hired someone to deliberately humiliate Shen Qiaoyue's mother, causing her to commit suicide in the middle of the night because she could not bear the humiliation.

My father fought those people to the death, but in the end, he was beaten to death by them.

My uncle was imprisoned because of family matters, and later died mysteriously in the place where he was imprisoned.

All of this was done by Yang Qingshan in his pursuit of power, resulting in the deaths of his entire family.

Shen Qiaoyue told herself that she must make Yang Qingshan pay the price.

Lin Yaya and Yang Qingshan were classmates and used to be neighbors, so they knew each other.

After Lin Yaya's father passed away, she followed her mother to remarry and married a division commander named Lin. Her mother later had a son and a daughter, and then didn't take care of her much.

Shen Qiaoyue also learned that she was a supporting character in a book, a brainless cannon fodder to highlight Lin Yaya and Yang Qingshan.

Since that's the case, Shen Qiaoyue secretly made up her mind to change her fate and prevent the things from happening in her previous life from happening again.

Even if she's just cannon fodder, Shen Qiaoyue is determined to change her life for herself.

According to the book, Lin Yaya transmigrated into the book, while Yang Qingshan transmigrated through soul; both of them possessed memories from the previous part of the story.

Lin Yaya later became wealthy, secretly started a business, and made a lot of money.

Yang Qingshan resigned from his job and moved to Gangcheng, but on the eve of his move, he was taken into custody by Lu Chen, who then exposed the evidence of his and his wife's crimes to the public.

Lu Chen is the male protagonist of this book. He is only thirty-five years old after he helps the Shen family avenge their deaths.

Lin Yaya and Yang Qingshan are also cannon fodder characters in the book, reflecting the background story of Lu Chen's deep affectionate character.

The female lead only appears after Lu Chen avenges the Shen family.

She had a crush on Lu Chen for many years, but it wasn't until Lu Chen was fifty years old and fell seriously ill that Lu Chen began to fall in love with the female lead and agreed to marry her.

Shen Qiaoyue didn't know the female lead's name. After Lu Chen helped her family avenge their death, she was reborn.
