Lu Youxi once went from a humble village girl to the CEO of the Lin Corporation. She worked tirelessly, only to overwork herself to death at 38. On her deathbed, she learned her useless husband had cheated on her and even fathered a child outside their marriage.
When she opens her eyes again, she finds herself back at 18. This time, she's determined to rewrite her fate:
Free her family from the clutches of exploitative relatives.
Help her loving but timid younger brother avoid a life of disability.
Stay far away from her worthless ex-husband.
Lead her family to a better life.
What she didn’t expect was to encounter someone far more extraordinary than her scumbag ex-husband.
Scene Highlight:
Worthless Ex-Husband: “Lu Youxi, your so-called husband is just some country bumpkin who didn’t even graduate college. What kind of future can you have with him?”
Before he could finish, a Bentley pulled up beside Lu Youxi. The driver stepped out, bowing respectfully.
Driver: “Madam, the Master is waiting for you to come home for dinner.”
“That license plate belongs to the Zhou family!”
“Isn’t that the car of Zhou Family’s patriarch?!”
“And he just called Lu Youxi Madam?”
Zhou Family Patriarch, a country bumpkin? What a joke!

Su Jinshi accidentally stumbled upon a simulation game with an incredibly realistic and handsome male lead who even had an alluring voice.
Poking Shen Shilang’s face, she mused, “So this is the joy of raising a handsome guy, huh?”
Shen Shilang retorted, “Who’s playing tricks here?”
“How rude,” Su Jinshi chided. “Call me Master.”
Shen Shilang merely scoffed in response.
…
When Shen Shilang needed medicine for an injury, Su Jinshi eagerly declared, “Buy it!” She seized the chance to cop a feel of his chest muscles while applying the ointment.
Noticing his meals lacked nutrition, she insisted, “Buy better food!” then sneakily touched the corner of his mouth.
Upon realizing he needed new clothes, she declared, “Shopping time!” and watched him change, stealing a quick touch of his abs.
Things escalated until she splurged on an in-game teleportation portal, which transported her directly into Shen Shilang’s arms.
Shen Shilang unbuttoned his shirt: “Go ahead, why aren’t you touching me now?”
*Throughout his life, Shen Shilang despised all talk of the supernatural. Yet, burdened by the need to avenge his massacred clan, he lived under others’ roofs with only a female ghost for company. She stood by him when others slandered him, shielded him from attacks, and saved him when he was poisoned. Never did he imagine he’d one day prostrate himself before every temple in the Great Xi empire, willing to offer his own blood just to see her once.*
