“As if I’d marry an ugly woman like you!”

“Who said I want to be the hero?”——Silas, a streamer, died in a fire. When he opened his eyes, a man stood before him, pleading for his help — and from that moment onwards, things changed.[Pick a Choice],[Choice A — Be the Good Guy]

After being plotted against by her scumbag ex-husband and perishing in a fire, Gu Jia Ning unexpectedly undergoes rebirth. She finds herself in the situation where she jumps into the river during a cold winter to persuade her elder brother to relinquish his job to her ex-husband’s favored educated youth, Wen Zhqing.In her previous life, her family compromised, leading to her marriage with Wen Zhqing. However, they remained childless for years despite being married. Wen Zhqing took advantage of her to drain her family of their benefits, leading to their downfall. He even plotted against her, causing her death in the fire so he could marry a rich and beautiful woman.To stay away from the scumbag, after being fished out of the river this time, Gu Jia Ning immediately grabs the matchmaker’s leg who was about to leave and agrees to Sheng Zexi’s marriage proposal.Broad shoulders and a slim waist, high position and authority... She learned after her death in her previous life that she was indeed the apple of Sheng Zexi, a military bigshot’s eye.More than a year ago, Gu Jia Ning accidentally found the injured and unconscious Sheng Zexi in the mountains.She kindly removed her clothes to give to him to wear, leaving herself shivering in the cold.Sheng Zexi: “Not as good-looking as me, and even without clothes, doesn’t look better than me.”Gu Jia Ning: “This person has such a sharp tongue, he’ll definitely never get a wife.”He was severely injured and unconscious, unable to drink the herbal medicine. She kindly wanted to pry his mouth open to forcibly feed him.Sheng Zexi: “Keep a bit of distance from me; I’m afraid your stupidity will rub off on me. Obviously, a small bamboo chip would do.”Gu Jia Ning: “This person’s tongue could cut paper, surely destined to die alone.”Who would have thought that more than a year later, upon learning she fell ill after jumping into the river, the already-gone Sheng Zexi sneaked in through the window with supplies?“Gu Jia Ning, are you tired of living or is there not enough water in your brain? You actually jumped into the river for a pretty boy!”While scolding her, he fed her painkillers and sweet wine boiled eggs that dispel cold and replenish blood. “If you still foolishly yearn for that pretty boy...”Gu Jia Ning: “Then I’ll marry you.”Sheng Zexi was stunned on the spot, then went ahead laughingly and married Gu Jia Ning swiftly, even bringing her to join the army!The military camp wives all said:Sheng Zexi’s wife is a little rascal, delicate and vain, unwilling to do heavy work, often complaining about fatigue. One day, Sheng Zexi would surely abandon her.Who would have thought that as soon as the little rascal arrived, she became a doctor in the military district hospital, not only achieving frequent pregnancy but also becoming a famous fertility specialist?And Sheng Zexi, always rebellious and a thorn in the side, turned into a good father and husband washing sheets by day and diapers by night.
