Ming Dynasty

On Xuanwu Street in Liangdu City, there lived relatives of the emperor and high-ranking officials.

Outside the gate of Anhou Mansion, a red silk sedan chair had been standing for a stick of incense.

Although Anhou Mansion had hung some red silk, as if for a wedding, the gate was shut tight and there was no sign of welcoming the bride. This led to the onlookers who were waiting for their rewards to gossip among themselves:

"Even if the groom is from a noble family, he would personally go to greet his bride. But this bride was directly delivered to Anhou Mansion by her family! The groom doesn't even want her, it's truly embarrassing!"

"Is this not embarrassing? For a family of such standing, the wedding procession should have six palanquins, but they only had eight. Not even a single maidservant as part of the dowry! It's so shabby!"

"Didn't you know? The bride, she's the second daughter of Doctor Nie's family. She's the least favored and considered unlucky for marriage! This marriage was only possible because the emperor gave his blessing! It's such a disgrace to her family!"

"Oh, I know about getting married. Tell me how this arranged marriage came to be!"

"... "

Nie Shaoyin sat in the palanquin, a large crimson dowry on her head, a red veil covering her face. She punched her protruding belly listlessly and idly listened to the gossiping crowd watching the opera:

Nie Shao, the second son of the Nie family, was named Yinrong. He was seventeen years old at the time. He was born to Mrs. Nie, the original wife of Dr. Nie. He had an older sister who currently held the position of a concubine in the imperial palace.

Last month, on Tai's birthday, Nie Shao accompanied his father to the palace to pay respects. In the garden, he met An Si Xun, the second son of Anhou Mansion.

The second son of the Anhouye family was quite dashing and suave. Nie Shao, who had a desperate desire to get married after her five fiancees had all died under mysterious circumstances, fell head over heels for him at first sight.

Thus, intentionally pounced on Second Master An, and the two of them fell into the lotus pond together. When they were rescued, both of their clothes were opened, and they became acquainted with each other.

Nie Shao's sister, using this as an excuse, knelt before the Empress Dowager, begging her to intervene and ask the Emperor for a marriage. She was able to marry An Si Xun a month later!

Nie Shao Yin, upon hearing this, couldn't even bother to stay asleep and almost vomited.

Have facts been distorted like this?

...But then I heard a sound coming from outside:

"That's how it is?"

"That's right! Otherwise, who in the entire imperial capital would dare to marry Miss Nie Er? With five fiancés dead, forget being the less favored son of the Nie family doctor, even a princess wouldn't be safe. An average man wouldn't dare marry her!"

"...."

Nie Shao Yin was drunk, mumbling to herself: "My brain is so big, why write novels!"

How the engagement with An Si Xun came about is certainly not as the outside world gossips.

In fact, Nie Shao was as beautiful as a celestial fragrance. In this cool capital city, he was a well-known figure.

In the garden, she met An Si Xun, who was breathtakingly handsome. She had never met Miss Nie Er before and naturally didn't know that she was Nie Shao, who was destined to bring misfortune to her husband.

Seeing you, I was so excited that I couldn't help but touch your face. My hands got a little too bold and I ended up hugging your waist!

Nie Shao struggled desperately, the two of them grappling and falling into the lake.

The elder sister's plea to the Empress Dowager was true. Since the elder sister had fallen out of favor with the emperor, she had gained the Empress Dowager's approval. The Empress Dowager then took matters into her own hands and obtained a marriage decree from the emperor, thus concluding this union.

When Zi was seen by the public in broad daylight, it would damage his reputation; and An Si Xun was known as a playboy with eighteen concubines already in his backyard. Coupled with Nie Shao's awkward position at home, he felt wronged. When he returned home, he learned that everything today was his father's scheme to sell him off in exchange for connections with the Duke of Anhou!

More importantly, Nie Shao has always had someone hidden in her heart!

It's a pity that the person is far away at the border, but she is dressed in red for her wedding. It seems they are destined not to be together in this life.

Nie Shao Yue thought the more he thought, the more pessimistic he became, and that night he threw himself into a well!

Later, the family's hired worker found that when they pulled the person out, he had already choked to death.

Who could have imagined, that in a moment later, he would open his eyes again!

But the people who live here have changed—it's Nie Shao Yin, a soul from modern times!

The moment she opened her eyes, her vision blurred with uncontrollable tears. Her mind was consumed by Nie Shao Xin's stifled pain and anguish, a profound sense of despair towards the world filled her heart.

Nie Shaoyin, a modern medical genius known for her unwavering righteousness, has always been quick to oppose evil. Due to her refusal to treat the ailing leader of a notorious gang, she found herself targeted by assassins. However, fate intervened, and she miraculously escaped through time travel with the advancing army.

Both parents were medical geniuses. A car accident took them away, leaving him an orphan. He inherited his parents' talent in medicine and, with perseverance, built a successful career in the field. After getting over the grief of losing his parents, he never cried again.

This crying spell, it's like I'm weeping out all the loneliness of Nie Shao and Nie Shao Yin for two lifetimes!

Nie Shao didn't want to marry An Si Xun, and Nie Shao Yin naturally didn't want to either.

In my past life, I was unmarried and completely absorbed in medical research. This life, of course, I don't want to be a woman confined to the home, bound by traditional expectations.

In ancient times, one could still be a wandering physician who heals the sick and helps people, achieving great things!

Then—

First things first, we need to deal with this marriage between An Si Xun!

The day after she crossed over, Nie Shao Yin looked at the face of Guo Tianxiang in the mirror and said to herself, "I have taken your life, I will pave a bright path for myself!"

Of course, what an ideal partner is, let's just forget about it.

Coming back to her senses, Nie Shaoyin silently calculated the time. Half an hour had passed and the groom was still not out to greet the bride!

Well, it's time!

She threw the red hat down casually and lifted the sedan curtain, stepping out of the palanquin.

The bridesmaid who was following the palanquin saw this and immediately cried out in alarm, "Oh my, oh my! My bride, you mustn't get down! That would be bad luck!"

"Unlucky? The groom is shutting himself away, clearly he doesn't want to marry. Since it's off, I'm not going back and staying here for the new year anyway!" Nie Shaoyin said impatiently.

It's been wild enough for half a day already!

The bridesmaid didn't know that Nie Shaoyin was running wild with thoughts of horses in her heart. She pushed towards the bridal palanquin: "Go back to your palanquin, you might be delayed by something, it's not yet auspicious time, the groom will come out soon!"

Nie Shao Yin frowned, wanting to say "This old lady won't get married," but when she saw the gate of Anhou Mansion open!

It is An Si-hun of Jinhua!

This dashing young man didn't even wear a wedding gown!

As the onlookers said, An Si Xun was handsome and dashing with features that were quite pleasing to the eye. However—

To others, it might seem like nothing. But in the eyes of Dr. Nie Shao Yin, it was a clear case of excess indulgence leading to severe kidney deficiency. It was the final straw that broke the camel's back and the culprit responsible for Nie Shao’s demise!

If this wasn't the case, Nie Shao had a reputation for killing husbands, and ordinary men wouldn't dare to marry her. She could still silently keep her heart on that peerless hero, and there would be a reason to live.

And now, this stinking man still so disdains Nie Shao!

Nie Shao's eyes, calm and collected as always, fixed on An Sihun. She asked coldly, “Second Master An, why has the An Hou Mansion refused to let me in?”
