In the imperial capital, everyone knew that the third daughter of the Anping Marquis’s mansion was blessed. Her father was appointed to Yangzhou, her maternal family was wealthy; once she returned to the capital, she was surrounded by admirers, and even the East Palace arranged a marriage for her, betrothing her to the prestigious Zhen Guo Gong’s mansion.

She thought life would continue smoothly, but on the eve of her wedding, Miss Lin fell into the water at a banquet, developed a high fever for several days, and fell into a coma.

Lin Wanji had a dream. In the dream, she and Xiao Shiyan had been married for less than half a year when the border was invaded; General Xiao led the troops to battle, and was ambushed by the enemy, with no news for many days. Her advantageous husband’s life or death was unknown, and there were traitors in the Duke’s mansion, and in less than half a month, she was cruelly humiliated to death.

At the end of the dream, she, who was always afraid of the cold, was wearing only a single garment, and fell in the icy and snowy land.

Lin Wanji woke up in terror, gasping for breath, and seeing the wedding dress on the table, she was still very afraid. But now the wedding was imminent, the two families had already exchanged horoscopes and chosen an auspicious day…

Lin Wanji didn’t think twice, if not now, when?

So she claimed to be seriously ill, and a carriage rushed back to Yangzhou overnight.

Xiao Shiyan: Reborn, planning step by step, this life, I only protect her.

Lin Wanji: …Thanks for the invitation, I’m in Yangzhou, don’t bother me.

—Short Scene—

Xiao Shiyan secretly sent people to guard his fiancée every day, until the eve of the wedding, he was finally able to relax and get a good night’s sleep.

But when he woke up—

Old Madam Lin, trembling, leaned on her cane and wiped away tears: “Young Master Xiao is a talented young man, but it’s a pity that my granddaughter is ill-fated, and now she is seriously ill, and it seems she is not doing well. In the end, our two families are not destined, so let’s call off this marriage.”

Xiao Shiyan woke up as if from a dream, and chased to Yangzhou on a fast horse, only to see the girl laughing happily under a peach blossom tree, addressing two people playing Go as “Cousin Lu” and “Senior Brother Zhu”. The usually cold and reserved Young General Xiao couldn’t help but redden his eyes, his jealousy growing wildly.

That night, the autumn rain was like thunder, Xiao Shiyan was drenched in the rain, gently knocking on the door.

“Awan, let me explain…”

The girl happily opened the door, but when she saw the visitor, her expression changed, she took a few steps back, and slammed the bamboo door shut.

“Young Master Xiao must be mistaken, please leave quickly.”
