Gu Jin's life was a blur.

I don't understand what's wrong with me. I have a good hand but I play it badly.

On the night he was frozen to death, Gu Jin Yao saw Gu Liu Ying.

The little sister who followed behind, was now the wife of Lu Zhen, the richest man in Pingcheng, and the big boss behind Xianyao Zhai. She was the golden phoenix that flew out from the mountain ravine in Dayang Village.

Gu Jin also didn't know what she was thinking at the time. Seeing him looking down at her, she suddenly asked, "You grew up in the same courtyard as me, why is your life so good?"

His life was happy at first, but then he fell ill and suffered from disfigurement and pain. He wandered for several years before finally freezing to death under a bridge.

What did Gu Liuyin say back then?

"Because I'm a reader of novels, and I also stole your main ring."

Into the Book, Main Plot!

These two words were like curses, tormenting every nerve of Gu Jin Yao. As death approached, she had a sudden epiphany, finally understanding that she had been living in a book all along.

Time seems to have passed for a long time, perhaps only for a moment.

Gu Jin Yao was woken up by some noise.

"Comrade, two tickets to Xicheng."

There are three pieces, each costing six yuan two.

"Click click." is the sound of a stamp being pressed onto a paper train ticket.

Gu Jin's arm was pulled by someone, and he was taken away from the ticket window.

With light footsteps, Gu Jin Yao's vision gradually cleared from a haze.

Train stations in the 1970s and 1980s still had portraits of great men and large red banners on the walls.

As a group of people dressed in gray, blue, and green cloth walked past, Gu Jingyao heard them speaking in their hometown dialect, which she hadn't heard in many years.

Not far from there, in front of a grocery store, someone was buying steamed buns.

The steamer opened, and a cloud of warm steam wafted out. Gu Jin Yao smelled the sweet fragrance of cabbage and the aroma of white flour.

Those sounds, breaths, and the occasional pedestrians passing by make this world clear, vivid, and incredibly real.

When all this came before his eyes, Gu Jin Yao broke out in a cold sweat.

In this book, wasn't he already dead? Why is he alive again?

Memories surged, the events of my past life swirling in my mind like water.

When my parents divorced, I was five years old. My father passed away in an accident that same year. The years following the loss of both my parents were spent growing up under the care of my grandfather.

Before she turned seventeen, Gu Jin Yao was sensible, generous, kind-hearted, hardworking and efficient. She also had a fiancé who worked at the town office, making her the envy of everyone in the village.

After the age of seventeen, he inexplicably became venomous and narrow-minded, stopping at nothing to achieve his goals.

From the beginning, I held an unreasonable hatred for my cousin Gu Liuyin. I tripped her up, spread rumors about her, and in the end, my own schemes backfired every time.

In just a year, Gu Liying's marriage was snatched away, leaving her with a terrible reputation that made everyone avoid her. She became as stupid as a pig, and she walked further and further down the path of being vicious.

...to the point where she later abandoned her newlywed husband, treated her grandfather with sincerity, and eloped with a lazy rogue, ending up being sold and living on the streets, going mad for several years, and finally freezing to death on a bridge.

During those years of wandering, Gu Jin Yao often thought, how did she become like this?

It wasn't until Gu Liu Ying appeared that she finally understood, she was living in a historical farming novel. And the original protagonist of that book, was just robbed of her ring by a time traveler, leading to a complete swap. She became a brainless villain.

When my soul departed in my previous life, it felt like a baptism. I saw everything in this book, the diverse destinies of each individual, their joys and sorrows.

At that moment, many regrets and frustrations converged in my heart. Finally, I woke up and realized that while I had broken free from the shackles of fate, I still had to face the depletion of life.

But now, is it reborn again?

Looking at everything before her, Gu Jin Yao quickly calmed down. She was already awake and clear-headed, no longer allowing fate to manipulate her.

Even if the main plot is taken away, even if this is just a book, it cannot follow the tide. It must change its own ending and make up for the regrets left behind in the previous life.

"Just a little while longer, and you'll be fine. Come, have some water."

A kettle with a stale taste of water was passed to him. Gu Jin Yao instinctively gulped down a few mouthfuls, then turned his head and froze.

The man was wearing a blue tunic suit. He had fair skin and wore black-rimmed glasses, giving him a handsome and refined look.

That's just how his face looked, even in the dead of night, I yearned to tear it apart and even kill him.

This is the man who ran away with someone in his previous life. Fate bound him to follow this man, it was a foolish choice, he shouldn't blame others, but what did this man do in the end?

He forced himself into prostitution, and if he didn't listen, he was either beaten or scolded. Later, when he became useless, he was even sold to a drunkard who collected scrap metal.

If it's said that Gu Liying took the ring and traded for her own destiny.

Therefore, this man is the mastermind who pushed fate towards its conclusion.

It turns out, being reborn at this time, and having this fateful turning point of running away with Zhou Qianlin.

"The tickets are bought, we'll get on the train around eight o'clock tonight. Rest assured, when I get there, I will definitely treat you well..."

Zhou Qianlin was stunned. She gently placed her arms around Gu Jin's shoulders.

Gu Jin's voice trembled with a hint of anger. He slapped the man directly across his face.

"Get your filthy hands off me."

Gu Jin stood up with displeasure and retreated two meters.

"Jin Yao, what are you doing?"

Zhou Qianlin covered her face, completely stunned.

Gu Jin Yao looked at his own hand, and suddenly laughed. In his previous life, he had thought about it countless times, and finally he managed to get this palm strike on his face.

"What am I doing? You shameless wretch! Xi Cheng, you go yourself. I'm going back to the village."

Seeing Gu Jingyao was about to leave, Zhou Qianlin grabbed her sleeve.

"Gu Jin Yao, what are you crazy about?"

Zhou Qianlin was also a little annoyed after being slapped for no reason.

Gu Jin Yao shook off the person, "You b*tch, behave yourself, or I'll sue you for human trafficking."

After finishing, she turned her head and walked away. Zhou Qianlin was stunned on the spot, and she really didn't dare to chase after her.

He couldn't tell if it was his imagination, but something about this man felt different. Gone from his eyes was any trace of admiration or worship, replaced instead by disgust and ruthlessness.

After leaving the train station, Gu Jin Yao saw that Zhou Qian Lin hadn't caught up. She let out a breath of relief.

I took a bus to the county bus station according to memory. I first went back to town and then took a boat back to my village.

As dusk approached, Gu Jinru finally returned to Dayang Village, a secluded valley nestled amidst mountains and water.

Before the person could return, ten people ran out of the village entrance. Leading them was the groom himself, that discharged soldier, Ji Shaobei.

This is realizing that they ran away with someone and are getting ready to go to the county to get them back.

But their pace is too slow, last life chased after them, Zhou Qianlin had already gotten on the bus.
