In the early hours of the morning in City A, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and torrential rain poured down, causing trees to shake violently and snap with a series of cracking sounds.

As soon as Ci opened her eyes, a wave of pain washed over her.

Before she could even react to what was happening, a large, strong hand grabbed her neck.

"Jinian Ci, do you really enjoy being with that scoundrel? I used to turn a blind eye to your philandering outside, but now you actually dare to bring him home? If I hadn't come back early from my business trip, what were you planning to do in your bed at home?"

The harsh words exploded in Ji Nianci's ears like bullets. But she had no mind to bear his anger.

Is that... Shen Ceyan's voice?

Wasn't she dead? Was she in the underworld or dreaming? Countless thoughts swirled in her mind. What was going on?

"Speak, are you mute?"

"I……"

Before Ji Nianci could speak, Shen Ceyan kissed her deeply. Only when Ji Nianci felt she was about to suffocate did Shen Ceyan release her.

"It's all because I was too lenient with you before. You even managed to seduce other men into our home. What? You think I can't satisfy you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man leaned down, his hot breath hitting her face as if he wanted to meld her into his body.

"Don't……"

Ci tried to figure out what had happened, but the excruciating pain in her lower body made it impossible for her to concentrate. Gradually, she fainted due to exhaustion.

The next morning, when Jinian Ci woke up in her big bed, there was no one beside her.

She patted her face, gathered her thoughts, and remembered that Zhou An was driving her car at high speed. After being hit, she lost consciousness and opened her eyes to the scene from last night.

She looked around. This was Guanzhou Tianfu, her and Shen Ceyan's home after their marriage. How did she end up back here?

An absurd thought popped into her head—had she been reborn?!

Although it seemed unbelievable, the stinging pain below reminded her that what happened last night was real.

She actually came back here!

Ji Nianci recalled her previous life, in which Zhou An was her college boyfriend, and the two met at their graduation ceremony.

At that time, Zhou Anzheng was speaking on stage as a representative of outstanding graduates. He came from a poor family and was wearing a wrinkled white shirt as he spoke eloquently, recounting how he went from a poor mountain village to being admitted to a prestigious university and becoming the first college student from his village.

I admired Cixinsheng from the audience and later asked a friend for his WeChat.

Initially, Ci Jixiang added him on social media out of sympathy and admiration for his experiences, intending to be friends. Later, unable to resist his sweet words, the two became a couple.

At the time, she was naive and thought she had found true love, but in the end, he ran her over with his car and killed her. It was all a joke.

Shen Ceyan, born into a wealthy family, is the head of a business empire in City A and is also her husband.

She was unhappy with the marriage arranged by her parents, believing that he had interfered in her relationship with Zhou An, and consequently, she grew increasingly disgusted with Shen Ceyan.

She never gave him a kind look after marriage, and she was always making a fuss and threatening to divorce him.

Even so, Shen Ceyan never lost his temper with her, always indulging and spoiling her.

How could I have been so blind in my past life to leave behind such a handsome, rich, and doting husband and insist on being with that poor and cheap gigolo?

Ji Nianci reached for the remote control by the bedside, pressed the switch, and the automatic curtains slowly opened, letting the bright sunlight shine on her face, but she didn't find it dazzling.

It feels so good to see the sun again.

Perhaps heaven took pity on her and gave her a second chance. This time, she was determined to rewrite the ending of her past life and make those who harmed her pay the price!

After composing herself, Ci prepared to go downstairs to find something to eat. Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a tall, broad-shouldered figure came into her view.

Shen Ceyan wore a thin, neatly trimmed white shirt with smooth, straight lines. His eyebrows were sharp and his nose was as straight as if carved by a bow and knife. His dark eyes were cold and indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

He was also pushing a food cart, which was full of all kinds of breakfast.

"What? You're so disappointed to see me?" Shen Ceyan couldn't help but speak up when he saw Ji Nianci's complicated expression.

Even though the two had already had an "in-depth conversation" last night, seeing him standing vividly in front of her and speaking still brought tears to Ji Nianci's eyes.

Shen Ceyan watched as the girl's tears rolled down her cheeks like pearls from a broken string, and a sudden panic gripped his heart. He quickly walked to her bedside and said, "I acted impulsively last night, I'm sorry, but if you say you want a divorce, I absolutely won't..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was hugged tightly.

The mourners wept even louder in remembrance of Ci.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere? Did I hurt you last night? Wait here, I'll go find a doctor right now."

Looking back on the past, although Shen Ceyan's attitude towards her was rather cold after marriage, he never wronged her.

Her walk-in closet was full of the latest designer pieces, and her home was decorated according to her preferences, even though Ji Nianci wasn't particularly appreciative. Whatever her request, except for a divorce, no matter how unreasonable, Shen Ceyan would fulfill it.

Ci pressed down on his urge to get up, and through her sobs, she managed to squeeze out a few words, "I'm not feeling unwell, I just missed you..."

Shen Ceyan was stunned for a moment when he heard these words, but quickly calmed down. How could Ji Nianci, as she was usually, say such a thing to him? It was probably some new trick she had come up with to get a divorce. He had actually been fooled by her tears.

Thinking of this, his expression turned cold, and he returned to his indifferent and aloof demeanor.

Seeing the look on Shen Ceyan's face that said, "I wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark you're telling me," Ji Nianci wanted to explain something, but was interrupted by his voice.

"Alright, if you don't have anything else, I'll head back to the company. Have your breakfast and rest a bit more." Shen Ceyan pulled the food cart to the bedside and prepared to get up and leave.

"Oh, Shen Ceyan..."

The only response she received was the sound of the door slamming shut.

Ji Nianci sighed slightly. She should have known better than to be so foolish back then, constantly threatening to divorce him and doing so many things that hurt him, which has led to Shen Ceyan having no trust in her at all now.

Sigh... How can I make Shen Ceyan believe in me again?

After thinking for a while, Ci Ji took out her tablet from the bedside table, opened a Word document, typed the five characters "The Husband-Soothing Plan" in quotation marks, and then remained silent for five minutes.

"I'm so tired..." Ji Nianci lay down in despair, irritably ruffling her hair into a ball with her hands.
