CompletedGu Yushi became famous in his youth, achieving triple success in the imperial examinations and becoming the youngest Zhuangyuan (top scholar) of this dynasty. He was highly favored by the Emperor and held immense power. Everyone envied Feng Wenyu, because Gu Yushi and Feng Wenyu had been married for twelve years, and he had never taken a concubine, leaving her as the only mistress in his household.
However, no one knew that during those twelve years, Feng Wenyu and Gu Yushi gradually grew silent towards each other, like strangers living under the same roof. She wanted Gu Yushi to accompany her, but he never had time. When she got angry, Gu Yushi would only look at her indifferently and say, "Stop making a fuss." Feng Wenyu was on the verge of being driven mad.
The day Gu Yushi learned (or mistakenly believed) that Feng Wenyu had an affair with an actor, he suddenly returned to twelve years ago, before he and Feng Wenyu were married. Gu Yushi had always been arrogant and self-assured; he couldn't understand why Feng Wenyu would have an affair with someone else, especially a lowly actor. After being reborn, Gu Yushi no longer wanted to be entangled with Feng Wenyu. He brought a token to the Feng mansion to annul their engagement. He had imagined all sorts of reactions from Feng Wenyu, but he never expected that she would agree immediately. Gu Yushi thought, "She agreed?!?"
Meanwhile, Feng Wenyu felt that her fiancé was a bit off, as if he had become a different person. When they met at a banquet, he was indifferently dismissive of her and no longer gentle or considerate. When she learned that Gu Yushi had sent someone to annul their engagement, Feng Wenyu, while indignant, also quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If he wants to annul, then annul. She didn't want to spend her life with someone she couldn't even talk to.
This is a male lead rebirth story, and the female lead will gradually recover her memories of the previous life. The female lead did not commit adultery in her previous marriage; the male lead will go through a "wife-chasing cremation ground" (a painful journey to win her back). After the annulment, the female lead will consider other suitors.
