When Jiang Nanshu was little, she loved to make her younger brother cry. Back then, Ji Ze was chubby and fair-skinned, and when he cried, he looked like a tearful rice dumpling, which she found very amusing.
Every time she made her younger brother cry, she would get a scolding from her mother, but she would still do it again next time.
As he grew older, Jiang Nanshu would occasionally beat her younger brother until he cried, but more often, she would beat up the people who bullied him until they cried.
She raised her fist and swung it at him triumphantly twice, her tone arrogant: “Why are you crying? If you got hit, come to me. I’ll back you up. I’m really good at fighting.”
Ji Ze’s admiration for her began from that time.
Because he had an older sister who loved to tease him, enjoyed seeing him make a fool of himself, and laughed heartily when he embarrassed himself, but was also extremely protective of him.
In his little world, as long as his older sister was there, he was not afraid to go anywhere, because his sister would help him chase away the bad guys who bullied him and would hold his little hand and take him home every day.
Ji Ze wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, his vision blurry: “Jiang Nanshu, how could you be so annoying? How could I have such an annoying sister? I hate you so much…”
She had no idea.
He was almost driven mad when he learned that she had jumped into the sea to commit suicide.
He didn’t understand why his sister would do such a thing. She was perfectly fine the day before, telling him to study hard and take good care of their mother. And then, in the blink of an eye, she was gone.
He wanted to find her, but how could he possibly find her when he had no power or influence?
He didn’t even have the right to see her body.
Because her fiancé had hidden her away.
At that moment, Ji Ze vowed that he would make something of himself, so he wouldn’t feel helpless like he did back then, unable to find his sister.
Jiang Nanshu was taken aback. She had somewhat anticipated Ji Ze’s attitude.
That’s why she hadn’t dared to rush back to the Ji family home.
She also didn’t dare face Ji’s mother, so after much deliberation, she decided to ask Ji Ze first.
But judging from the situation, she had hurt him quite a bit.
Jiang Nanshu smiled helplessly: “I’m sorry. There were special reasons back then, so I did that. I’m back now, aren’t I? Don’t be angry. I was hoping you would take me home to meet our parents.”
Ji Ze looked at her quietly. It was rare for him to hear Jiang Nanshu apologize.
From childhood to adulthood, she had never made a mistake.
So her parents had no worries about her and could take good care of him.
Suddenly, Ji Ze felt relieved.
He hated that Jiang Nanshu hadn’t thought of them when she jumped into the sea, but he was also grateful that she was still alive.
Ji Ze wiped away his tears: “It’s a good thing you came back, otherwise, I would never forgive you for the rest of my life.”
He paused, then added, “Mom and Dad wouldn’t forgive you either!”
“Then, when I go back, you have to say a few words for me to win their forgiveness, understand?”
Jiang Nanshu put another piece of braised pork rib on his plate: “Here, this is your reward.”
This time, Ji didn’t refuse, and just pursed his lips: “Let’s see how you perform.”
Jiang Nanshu just smiled at him.
As time passed after her return, some of her hazy memories gradually became clearer, so clear that she knew that she had lived with the Ji family for fifteen years, and even remembered searching for herbs to cure Ji’s father’s leg. In the end, she met an unlucky guy who caused her to faint and wake up with a completely different personality, and she ended up recognizing the Jiang family.
Her once-happy and fulfilling family was thus torn apart.
Jiang Nanshu had known all along that her body had been taken over by a transmigrated woman, but her feelings for the Ji family stemmed from the deepest recesses of her heart, a feeling that even she herself found inexplicable.
Until now, as the sealed memories slowly began to unfold, she realized that these were her most beloved family members.

Translator’s Comment:
Be patient, everyone!
From the beginning, it has been mentioned that it’s a melodramatic novel!
Since the female lead is not Su Ran, but Jiang Nanshu, she is the one who should go through 1,000 tribulations, hahaha…
Let’s review what she has been through: being switched at birth, having a loving adoptive family, having an evil family (in the original world), mistreated by the family, a devoted second male lead and childhood sweetheart (I think Zhou Yanxu can be considered a childhood sweetheart?), counterattacked the evil family, imprisonment and being tortured (by that scum Yanbai), almost sold to old man, entered mental hospital, saved the injured male lead, having amnesia, time travelling, reunited with the original family, disliked from the original family, arranged marriage, sick mother (usually, in the novels, the female lead’s mother is sick and needs much money to treat the illness/surgery, right?), devoted friends, doted by older brothers, sister, and father, flash marriage, wicked and crazy villain (Zhou Yanbai), betrayal from the closest person (Uncle Bo), died and resurrected, coma for 5 years, powerful male lead who becomes a domineering CEO, misunderstanding with the male lead…
What is Jiang Nanshu missing?
Running with the baby? Miscarriage? Being framed and going to jail? Kidnapped? Have a genius baby who has a similar face to the father?
There are 61 chapters left. What will come next?
Actually, I really hate melodramatic novels.
If the female lead has personalities like Su Ran, I will certainly drop this novel.
But it has the crazy Jiang Nanshu as the female lead, so I persisted till the end.
