Chapter 01 What? Wearing?
"Huh? Didn't I go to the guillotine? Why didn't I die?"
When Si Wan woke up, she found herself lying on a strange bed. Looking around, the whole room was snow-white, and she was wearing a strange blue and white striped dress.
No, this is not her body, she is not that fat!
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her head, as if a crossbow arrow had been shot into her temples, causing her to have a splitting headache.
Frame after frame of memories that did not belong to her forcefully invaded her brain. Si Wan broke out in a cold sweat and rolled to the ground, covering her head.
I don’t know how long it took, but the fatal pain finally dissipated gradually.
"So my soul has traveled through time and space?" Si Wan got up from the ground and looked down at her current body, thinking it was too unbelievable.
She was originally a Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, and she disguised herself as a man to infiltrate the Jinyiwei just to make it easier to steal.
He was living a happy and carefree life, but he was betrayed by his best 'brother' due to uneven distribution of the spoils and lost his head.
It turned out that she didn't die, and her soul was reincarnated into the body of this fat woman with the same name and surname.
The original owner loved a man for ten years, but one day her heart died. Amidst the ridicule of others, she jumped into the river and committed suicide.
"Since I have occupied your body, as a reward, I will punish those who persecuted you." Si Wan made a vow, a dark light flashing in her eyes.
At this moment, the door was pushed open.
"Oh! My Wanbao, you finally woke up. Uh-huh!"
The unexpected hug made Si Wan's nerves tense instantly, and she instinctively wanted to draw her sword.
But she didn't touch it. The memory in her mind told her that this was the original owner's mother.
"Mom, don't cry. I'm healed now." Si Wan took a step back and broke free from Gu Yiru. She was not used to people getting close to her.
"Mom?" Gu Yiru was stunned and looked at Si Wan in surprise.
"..." Si Wan was blank for a moment, her eyes wandering to the sky. Then she lowered her eyes and corrected herself, "Mom."
"Ah~~~~~My Wanbao, that's great, you're finally okay, I was so scared!" Gu Yiru hugged Si Wan again.
“!”
In the afternoon, Si Wan was discharged from the hospital and returned home with Gu Yiru.
The quaint three-story building is made of red bricks and gray tiles. There is a pavilion in the yard. Next to the pavilion is an old poplar tree with a swing hanging from the trunk.
Memories came flooding back. When she was a child, the original owner sat on a swing and watched Yu Jinnian and her elder brother play chess.
Si Wan stood in front of the window, wondering to what extent she was in love that she couldn't help but think of that man?
"Yu Jinnian, huh?" Savoring the words, Si Wanhui suppressed the arrogant smile in her eyes. She raised her hand to wipe away the dense water droplets on the window glass, revealing a face so swollen that her eyes were squeezed into slits. "He disdains you, so I'll make him regret it."
The next day.
Gu Yiru prepared breakfast early in the morning, and when she went to call Si Wan, she found that she was gone.
It was not a good sign that a person with a history of suicide disappeared out of thin air, and Gu Yiru was immediately frightened out of her wits.
He ran outside in a hurry, but unexpectedly he bumped into the door and fell to the ground with his old body unable to withstand the blow.
"Mom, you...Mom, why are you running away? Are you okay?"
Si Wan helped Gu Yiru up breathlessly and finally had time to catch her breath.
Gu Yiru angrily slapped Si Wan on the butt: "You dead child, where have you been? I found you were not in the room, I thought you..."
Si Wan laughed: "You thought I was going to commit suicide again?"
"Mom, just rest assured. Nothing stupid like that will happen again."
Hearing this, Gu Yiru was skeptical: "Really? Then what were you doing out so early in the morning?"
Si Wan wiped the sweat from her forehead and showed it to Gu Yiru. The sweat slid down her chubby fingertips: "Oh, I'm going to practice. Starting today, I want to lose weight."
"Really?" Gu Yiru almost cried, she found it unbelievable.
On that day, a scale and various weight-loss ingredients appeared in the Si family's yard.
In the evening, Si Zhishu and his second son Si Nian, who were away on business, were confused when they returned home to see a table full of green leafy vegetables.
Gu Yiru smiled and told them that Si Wan wanted to lose weight.
However, both father and son just treated it as a joke.
"I would believe if you said she jumped into the river." Si Nian was just saying it casually.
Gu Yiru was on pins and needles. She didn't dare tell the man in her family about Si Wan jumping into the river.
Si Wan sat in her seat, not concentrating on stuffing food into her mouth as she usually did, but quietly looking at her father and second brother.
Dad looks like a teacher, his behavior is meticulous and he is quite stylish.
The second brother was a bit of a scoundrel. He was fiddling with his phone and laughing, but no one knew what he was laughing at.
After regaining her composure, Si Wan finally remembered something. Puzzled, she decided to ask Si Zhishu, "Father, there's something I'd like to know the reason for. Could you please tell me a little?"
Si Zhishu felt uncomfortable listening to Si Wan's wording.
But the astute Si Wan caught Lao Si's scrutinizing gaze and quickly explained, "I've been reading classical Chinese lately, hoping to put my knowledge into practice."
Si Zhishu still felt something was amiss, but he didn't think much about it. "What do you want to ask?"
"Why did Yu Jinnian agree to be engaged to me?"
The original owner's memory did not include the cause and effect of this engagement, and looking at Yu Jinnian's attitude towards her, it was definitely not a willing one.
Si Wan felt it necessary to find out the hidden story behind this.
The story was long, and tears of happiness would flash in Si Zhishu's eyes from time to time as he told it.
After listening to Si Zhishu's story, Si Wan suddenly understood.
It turns out that it was because of the kindness and bond of our ancestors.
Si Zhishu and Yu Jinnian's father Yu Liang are grassroots brothers who grew up together. When they were young, their hometown suffered a flood that had not been seen in a century.
Yuliang's only remaining grandfather unfortunately died, and he was later adopted by the Si family's grandfather.
At that time, life was hard and the grassroots were well fed, but Yuliang could eat cornmeal steamed buns every now and then. You should know that Si Zhishu didn't have that.
Later, the two "brothers" were admitted to university together. After graduation, Yu Liang went into business, and Si Zhishu joined the official system.
When Si Wan first fell in love, she told the world that she would not marry anyone but Jinnian.
Yuliang took the initiative and arranged this marriage to repay the Si family for their upbringing and cultivation.
At first Si Zhishu was against it, as he knew very well that his daughter was not worthy of the extraordinary Yu Jinnian.
However, Si Wan was obsessed with Yu Jinnian to the point of losing herself, and Si Zhishu was afraid of making things worse and driving his daughter crazy, so he acquiesced.
In the two years since the engagement, whenever Si Zhishu mentioned Yu Jinnian, he was tormented by guilt and felt truly ashamed.
Si Zhishu put down his chopsticks with a look of guilt and said in a relaxed voice, "I'm tired, you guys eat." He stood up and was about to leave.
Si Wan stopped Si Zhishu and said, "Father, I want to cancel my engagement with Yu Jinnian."
