When Qiu Yuruo had just come of age, her parents died one after another. By some twist of fate, she transmigrated to ancient times; only to once again become a little orphan girl without a father or mother.... more>>

With nowhere else to go, Qiu Yuruo could only rely on her elderly grandparents. To survive, she agreed to marry in place of her cousin to Su Yunting—a man whose parents were also deceased and who had three younger siblings—just to serve as a bride for his recovery ritual.

Facing a household with an unconscious young man, a sickly teenage boy, and two frail little girls…

In order to prevent the whole family from starving to death, Qiu Yuruo rolled up her sleeves and began a life of hardship and perseverance alongside her three in-laws.

None of the four had strength, and none were particularly well-educated. Fortunately, Qiu Yuruo had one valuable skill—her exceptional cooking.

She opened a humble food stall by the roadside. Not only did she manage to support the family and bring prosperity to their days, but she even sent her younger brother-in-law back to school.

When greedy relatives came trying to take advantage of them, she picked up a kitchen knife and fought back without hesitation.

When her little sister-in-law fell ill, Qiu Yuruo didn’t hesitate to spend every last coin they had for treatment.

As for the comatose man who was her husband in name only, Qiu Yuruo never held back her care. After all, it was because of him that she now had a home and three lovable younger siblings.

Just as Qiu Yuruo was finally enjoying the warmth of a home, a stable livelihood, and the joy of raising the children…

Su Yunting, the man she had always believed would never wake up, suddenly opened his eyes!

As everyone around cried out their congratulations, Qiu Yuruo was stunned. She felt nothing but a deep, overwhelming shock. All she wanted was a moment of peace and quiet.

Su Yunting had lived a solitary life, alone until his death of old age. Yet when he next opened his eyes, he found himself back in his youth, once again lying in a coma.

He thought he would have to painfully relive each moment as his loved ones passed away one by one. But unexpectedly, the fiancée who had drowned herself in his previous life had this time safely married into his family.

Because of her, the younger brother who was supposed to break his leg and grow up withdrawn, became even more cheerful than before. The youngest sister, who was fated to die early, became healthy and lively thanks to timely medical treatment.

Su Yunting could feel her warmth and hear the joy and sorrow in her voice. More than anything, he longed to open his eyes, to take the heavy carrying pole from her when she went out, to apply medicine to her burned hands, to offer her a shoulder to lean on when she was tired…

This is the story of a “cursed star” and a lifelong loner—two negatives combining to make a positive. <<less
