Xu Yizhang returned to the age of 23, caressed the platinum ring on her ring finger, and decided to break off her marriage with Han Shen immediately. ... more>>

Her mother: "What happened to you and Han Shen? Weren’t you impatient to marry him before?"

Her father: "The venue and wedding invitations are all ready. Now you’re talking like this? How to solve this problem? Where is the face of your parents?"

...

Before she was reborn, Xu Yizhang got married as soon as she graduated. After marriage, Han Shen was so busy that she raised their children alone.

The group of friends laugh at her and mock her: "Han Shen doesn't like her at all. She always nags him. As a result, she was given the cold shoulder after marriage and left alone everywhere..."

After breaking off the marriage, everyone was stunned. "Xu Yizhang broke off an engagement? Why? Does she think the most talented person on campus is not enough for her?"

"Are you crazy? Don't want such a good man."

"She probably thinks she is a fairy and wants a match with the Jade Emperor..."

…

Later.

Han Shen said: "Xu Yizhang, let's get married."

Xu Yizhang smiled coldly: "Sorry, I don’t want a married life."

Han Shen: "How can you love someone and not think of marriage?"

Xu Yizhang: "Get lost."

Han Shen: "What about our previous vows?"

Xu Yizhang: "Count them as idioms." <<less

Pei Jiu picked up a girl by the riverside. He settled her on the mountain, and planned to send her back once she recovered.

During winter, he would warm up the bed for her. One day, she hugged Pei Jiu’s arm with a smile. “Big Brother Pei, you’re really an honest and a good man. I will marry you and give birth to your babies!”... more>>

Pei Jiu eyed her critically and scathingly enumerated her shortcomings. She was ignorant and spoiled. She only knew how to pester and flirt with people all day long. Give birth to babies? Go ahead, give birth to caterpillars.

The delicate girl bawled so hard that she passed out. The next day, Pei Jiu returned to his mansion and told his servants to prepare for his wedding ceremony. When he returned to the mountain in the evening, Pei Jiu opened the door as usual, but he found that the cheeky girl had disappeared. He searched the whole mountain for her to no avail.
