In her previous life, Su Qingluo was the daughter of Jinling's wealthiest man. After her parents died young, she had no choice but to seek refuge with her maternal grandmother's family in the capital, where she became engaged to her cousin, Lu Yan. Little did she know that Lu Yan kept a woman on the side, ultimately causing her and her unborn child to die together. In this life, Su Qingluo is determined to break off her engagement to Lu Yan, only to be forced by her aunt to marry an unscrupulous thug. Just when she has no idea what to do, Grand Secretary Lu Hengzhi suddenly proposes that they enter into a sham marriage. Everyone in the capital knows that Lu Hengzhi is aloof and noble, ruthless and merciless, and utterly uninterested in women. Rumor has it that a maid once tried to seduce him and was immediately executed. With an indifferent expression, Lu Hengzhi says, “You and I will marry for our own purposes. After three to five years, I’ll set you free.” With nowhere else to turn, Su Qingluo grits her teeth and agrees. Yet not long after their wedding, Lu Hengzhi pulls her into his arms. Her voice changes pitch. “I thought this was supposed to be a sham marriage…” Lu Hengzhi raises an eyebrow. “What’s wrong with making it real?”

Magical space + supermarket + an unapologetically strong female lead + no romance. She catches adultery in two lifetimes: in her previous life, she catches her father cheating; after being reborn, she catches her husband betraying her. Was she sent into this world just to expose cheaters? Liu Siyue discovers that her father is keeping a mistress and has an illegitimate son. When she clashes with the Mistress, her father grabs and shoves her, causing her to fall and be struck by a car. When she wakes again, she finds herself in a strange place surrounded by unfamiliar faces speaking words of concern. She soon realizes that her consciousness has entered the body of a woman named Liu Siyue. Liu Siyue was sold by her parents to the Lu Family in a neighboring village as a child bride. She was only eight when she was taken away, and her parents told her, “The moment you leave the Liu Family today, you will no longer be one of us.” At her in-laws’ home, she was treated like livestock, forced to work endlessly while being given barely enough to eat. By chance, she catches her husband having an affair with the Elder Sister-in-law. The shock causes Liu Siyue to go into premature labor and give birth to a daughter. The Lu Family then falsely accuses her of having an affair, claiming that the child is not the Younger Brother-in-law’s. Lu Yunzhou gives her a divorce letter and orders her to take the daughter she gave birth to—their so-called burden—and get out. She carries her daughter back to her Birth Family, only to be driven away by her Father and Mother and her Brothers and Sisters-in-law. Completely heartbroken, she considers ending her life. She stands at the Earthen Cliff by the village entrance, gazing at the place where she grew up. Unexpectedly, the earth beneath her feet gives way, and she tumbles down the slope. Passing villagers rescue her and take her to her Birth Family, but after they refuse to keep her, they send her and her daughter to Second Uncle’s household, where the pair are taken in. Moved by Heaven’s compassion, she is gifted a magical space accompanied by a Supermarket. Heaven is surprisingly adorable. Given another chance at life, she vows never to waste it. Watch as she changes her fate, helps Second Uncle build a prosperous life, takes revenge on the Lu Family, and humiliates her Birth Family. There is plenty of good fortune to go around—but her Birth Family will not get so much as a sip of the soup.
