Breaking free from the intrigues of the apocalypse, the space-beast Red Fox reborn Shangguan Xueying's soul into the 1960s. She's become a counterpoint to the original novel's heroine, but so what? Shangguan Xueying is determined to leave the strife of the past behind, simply wanting to rest easy in this unique era. As for love, having it is icing on the cake, but lacking it is also acceptable. Watch how Shangguan Xueying writes her own unique life of letting things slide.

Chu Ruoyan, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Chu's household, saw her betrothed's family perish in battle—all except her fiancé, who survived but was left crippled.

Everyone assumed the engagement would be called off, yet the Chu family's heiress proceeded with the wedding as scheduled, uttering just two words: "I consent."

No one knew Chu Ruoyan had suffered a nightmare.

In the dream, she broke off her engagement with Yan Zheng. Three years later, while being courted by the heir of Pingjing Marquisate, rebel forces stormed the capital.

The city became a blood-soaked hellscape. Atop the walls stood the rebel leader—none other than Yan Zheng, who had just been appointed Chief Grand Councilor!

He beheaded her prospective groom, slaughtered the entire Pingjing Marquisate household, then subjected her pleading father to relentless humiliation until the old man leaped to his death from the city walls.

Upon waking, Chu Ruoyan made two immediate decisions:

Marry him. Then kill him.

Fate proved unpredictable. While the second resolution remained unfulfilled, she somehow became the most revered woman in the realm.
