That was the coat he had taken off and given to her when she felt cold. But they had unexpectedly fallen asleep together, sharing the same coat.

However, this wasn’t a big deal, as nothing had happened between them. But he now looked a bit disheveled, and Nangong Jiao Fen clearly misunderstood. She blushed, teary-eyed, turned and ran out, and Huangfu Aotian chased after her without thinking.

Nangong You Zi, who had been suddenly awakened, stared blankly at the empty equipment room. Finally, she looked at the coat on her, revealing a shy smile.

However, her happiness didn’t last long. The next day, Nangong Jiao Fen came to tell her that she and Huangfu Aotian were engaged and it was happening this month!

Nangong You Zi stood frozen in place, never expecting that this day would come so quickly. Just yesterday, they had been chatting together about that cute little cat, just yesterday he had given her his coat, just yesterday…

But today, he had made an engagement with another girl.

This month…

It was happening this month…

Nangong Jiao Fen’s triumphant speech replayed in Nangong You Zi’s mind over and over, and eventually, her body couldn’t handle it, and she fainted.

After recovering from her illness, the day for Nangong Jiao Fen and Huangfu Aotian’s engagement arrived.

As a servant in the Nangong family, Nangong You Zi was named to help organize the engagement ceremony.

Heartbroken for the one she loved, Nangong You Zi had to go through with organizing the engagement ceremony. Everything was ready, but on that day, an unexpected incident happened!

Huangfu Aotian got into a car accident on his way to the engagement ceremony!]

Seeing this sudden car accident, Chen Linshan couldn’t help but spray out her energy drink!

The barrage also started flooding with comments—

[Welcome back, it’s all back!]

[It’s the classic Yan Jie, hahaha!]

[Every drama needs a car accident (mission accomplished)!]

[Seeing Yan Jie focused on the melodrama in the first half, I was like, “This is strange, this doesn’t feel like Yan Jie.” But when the car accident happened, I was like, “Familiar, very familiar, Yan Jie is back!”]

[I knew something was missing, and it turns out it was a car accident.]

[Haha, is a torrential rainstorm coming next?]

There might not be a rainstorm, but there was an urgent need for blood transfusion for Huangfu Aotian after the accident. However, due to his rare blood type, the hospital’s blood bank had no stock of that type. The doctor asked if there was anyone present with that special blood type.

Nangong and Huangfu’s families heard this and immediately said, “We all have this blood type.”

With this single sentence, hope was restored for everyone!

However, the audience noticed that Nangong Jiao Fen’s expression seemed slightly strange:

[Did you guys see Nangong Jiao Fen? After hearing what Mrs. Nangong said, she seemed a bit stiff.]

[I noticed too! But maybe she’s just shocked; after all, her fiancé suddenly got into a car accident on the way.]

[Huh? You Zi also said she has this blood type!]

[Whoa!! I have a bold guess!]

[My friend, I do too!]

As the barrage speculated whether Nangong Jiao Fen and Nangong You Zi might really be sisters, the doctor took Nangong You Zi and Nangong Jiao Fen to draw blood.

In separate rooms, while they were drawing blood, a message came from Nangong Jiao Fen’s room, saying that she had fainted due to excessive blood loss! This alarmed both the Nangong and Huangfu families.

When Nangong You Zi came out after the blood draw, she saw everyone gathered around Nangong Jiao Fen, including her own mother, who was deeply concerned about Nangong Jiao Fen.

Seeing this scene, everyone felt heartbroken. Even though both of them had gone for the blood draw, everyone was only concerned about Nangong Jiao Fen, and no one noticed Nangong You Zi…

Originally, everyone thought that the plot had already been heartbreaking enough for Nangong You Zi at this point. However, it turned out that the doctor who had just drawn blood from Nangong Jiao Fen came to her separately and informed her that her blood had been replaced…

[??? What does this mean???]

[Whoa! What did Nangong Jiao Fen do again?]

The show quickly provided the answers.

[The scene shifts back to Nangong Jiao Fen’s perspective during the blood draw.

Doctor: “Miss, your blood type…”

Nangong Jiao Fen: “Shut up! You don’t need to say it!”

Doctor: “Then?”

Nangong Jiao Fen: “What about her? Did she get her blood drawn?”

Doctor: “She’s still getting it done.”

Nangong Jiao Fen stared at the doctor for a moment, and the doctor immediately understood. “I see.”

Nangong Jiao Fen nodded faintly and took out a star card from her bag. “This is for this time, and for the annual check-ups afterward. I’ll still rely on you.”

The doctor took the star card with a fawning smile. “Don’t worry, Miss. Your business will remain a secret between us!”

After that, the doctor picked up the blood draw needle and left a puncture mark on Nangong Jiao Fen’s arm…]

Seeing this flashback, the audience was in disbelief!

So, you didn’t even have a drop of blood drawn from the beginning to the end! You even fainted as part of the act! Nangong Jiao Fen, do you have to be this malicious!!

[So, does that mean my guess was right? Nangong Jiao Fen isn’t even from the Nangong family?]

[I’m stunned! So, Yan Jie was waiting for us right here!]

[I just want to know how Nangong Jiao Fen could do this so brazenly, taking everything away from You Zi! She’s really shameless! This drama is driving me crazy!]

[Who can understand? In the past, I would never watch such a melodramatic show, but now, I’m watching it while cursing. Yan Yue, you better make this satisfying later!]

While satisfaction might be on hold for now, the drama continued to be full of twists and turns.

[After waking up, Huangfu Aotian learned about Nangong Jiao Fen fainting while donating blood for him. He felt deeply concerned and, once his health improved, immediately held the engagement ceremony. To prevent Nangong You Zi from appearing in front of Huangfu Aotian again, Nangong Jiao Fen went to great lengths to transfer her to another school. Huangfu Aotian also temporarily suspended his studies due to business matters and went to deal with affairs on another planet. This meant that Huangfu Aotian and Nangong You Zi never saw each other again.

It wasn’t until three years later that Huangfu Aotian returned, and by this time, he was already married to Nangong Jiao Fen.

Knowing that his wife had gone to visit her parents, Huangfu Aotian went to the Nangong family to pick her up. During this visit, he once again encountered Nangong You Zi, whom he hadn’t seen in years.

Huangfu Aotian had always owed Nangong You Zi a thank you for what she did, including donating blood during the car accident. He remembered her, but they hadn’t crossed paths since. However, Huangfu Aotian couldn’t understand why Nangong You Zi had been avoiding him. After trying to find Nangong You Zi several times without success, word got back to Nangong Jiao Fen.

Nangong Jiao Fen couldn’t tolerate the presence of Nangong You Zi and hated her intensely. At one point, during a party, she even drugged Nangong You Zi and a playboy who had been pursuing her, planning to let them be caught in a compromising situation to expose Nangong You Zi and keep Huangfu Aotian from ever looking at her again.

However, things didn’t go as planned. The drink with the drug was accidentally consumed by Huangfu Aotian!

The person who was supposed to help her accidentally brought the drugged Huangfu Aotian and Nangong You Zi to the same room!

The next day, when Nangong Jiao Fen saw her loved one and her hated rival sleeping together, she fainted on the spot.]

The audience burst into laughter and comments:

[So, thanks to Jiao Jie’s help, hahaha!]

[Jiao Jie seems like a hater, but she’s secretly a shipper for Huangfu Aotian and Nangong You Zi.]

[What do they mean by “picking up a stone to hit one’s own foot”! You wanted to be so malicious, and now it’s turned against you. That’s poetic justice!]

[Come on, guys, wake up! Think about it. This guy is about to make You Zi donate her kidney! Do you still think this is poetic justice?! Stay clear-headed! Reject romance brainwashing! Reject shipping brainwashing!!]

[This drama shouldn’t be called “99 Escapes from Marriage…” anymore. It should just be called “The Tragic Life of Nangong You Zi.” The poor girl, ever since she picked up this dog of a man, how much suffering has she endured? It’s a fact once again that you shouldn’t pick up men on the roadside! Be careful; they might harm your whole family!]

[Wait a minute, someone reminded me earlier, where’s the 99 escapes from marriage? Haven’t seen any escapes yet. And what about the richest man’s dad? It seems that only one aunt from Huangfu Aotian’s family has appeared, right? Where’s his dad??]

[Actually, I have a feeling that the plot won’t be this simple.]

[+111111]

While the audience laughed and discussed the plot, Nangong You Zi was found to be pregnant!

Knowing that Nangong You Zi was pregnant, Nangong Jiao Fen went crazy and started causing all sorts of trouble, even pretending to be sick in an attempt to take one of You Zi’s kidneys!

The scene returned to Huangfu Aot

ian forcing Nangong You Zi to give her kidney to Nangong Jiao Fen, and now, the audience finally understood the complex web of grudges and secrets!

[So, now You Zi is pregnant with the dog man’s child, but the dog man wants her to donate a kidney for the sake of a crazy woman???]

[No, I’m about to have a heart attack! What kind of suffocating plot is this???]

[This dog of a man is really despicable! Nangong Jiao Fen turned into a lunatic for him, and Nangong You Zi suffered all kinds of humiliations for him! What about himself? He can’t make up his mind between two women, married Nangong Jiao Fen, but he’s still thinking about Nangong You Zi! Is he even a human being??? Huh??? Huangfu Aotian, are you still a man???]

【If only Huangfu Aotian had been firm and resolute, maybe there wouldn’t be so much trouble.】

【I can’t stand Nangong Jiao Fen, but right now, I dislike Huangfu Aotian even more. What kind of person is he, making all women go crazy for him?】

【For those who used to say that Yan Jie hates men and only writes male villains, come out and see this. Yan Jie doesn’t hold back when it comes to writing female villains either! Damn, this is really getting on my nerves!】

【I just checked, and there’s less than ten minutes left on the progress bar. Could it be that all the torture is in this episode? If that’s the case, I’m definitely going to lose sleep over this tonight!】

The audience was suffering from this emotionally draining plot, and just when Nangong You Zi had already donated her kidney, Nangong Jiao Fen still wouldn’t let her go.

After Nangong You Zi’s child was born, rumors began circulating that the child might be Huangfu Aotian’s. While this information didn’t reach Huangfu Aotian’s ears, it did reach his aunt.

At this moment, Huangfu Aotian was on a business trip to another planet, and under Nangong Jiao Fen’s instigation, his aunt found Nangong You Zi and pressured her to undergo DNA testing. Since Huangfu Aotian wasn’t there, his father’s DNA was used.

When the so-called richest man’s dad finally made an appearance, the audience erupted in cheers!

Upon closer inspection, wasn’t this the young and handsome guy who didn’t appear on the cover, standing neither in the darkness nor in the light?

Audience: ???

[Is this really the male lead’s dad???]

[Isn’t it? The male lead should be around twenty-five or twenty-six, right? His dad looks like he’s in his thirties. What’s going on here? I’m so confused.]

[Did Yan Jie create this handsome dad to protect our eyes? Or is there some hidden story here?]

[What’s wrong with his dad now? With this kind of buildup, could he be in a vegetative state?]

[He should be in a vegetative state, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been absent for so long.]

[Ah, I’m so curious, what’s going on here?!]

Before the audience could figure out what was going on, the DNA test results from the hospital were released!

The test showed that Nangong You Zi’s child had no blood relation to the Huangfu family at all!

This result shocked not only the audience but also Nangong Jiao Fen herself!

[Judging by Nangong Jiao Fen’s reaction, she probably didn’t tamper with the DNA report.]

[???]

[No, the night You Zi slept with Huangfu Aotian, right? I just went back to check!]

[Could it be that Huangfu Aotian isn’t really from the Huangfu family…?]

[Although it’s clear to anyone with a discerning eye that Huangfu Aotian’s dad looks unusually young, and it’s highly likely he’s not Huangfu Aotian’s biological father, the strange thing is, if his aunt really knew that Huangfu Aotian wasn’t from the Huangfu family, she wouldn’t have bothered with the DNA test.]

[I’m shocked!!! I just went back to look at the medical record on the bedside table of the male lead’s dad, and when I zoomed in, I saw that his dad is only forty-five years old this year!]

[??? Are you telling me that’s the appearance of a forty-five-year-old man???]

[Actually, if someone takes good care of themselves, even if they’re over fifty, they can look like they’re in their thirties. That can be explained. What’s really unexplainable is that this child apparently has no connection to the Huangfu family…]

[I can’t believe it! What is Nangong Jiao Fen planning now?]

While everyone was speculating about whether Nangong You Zi’s child was not the Huangfu family’s granddaughter or if Huangfu Aotian was not really a member of the Huangfu family, Nangong Jiao Fen, after Huangfu Aotian’s aunt left, began to mock Nangong You Zi and said hurtful things about her, even suggesting that she had been with other men. Her words were extremely harsh.

[南宫幽紫 was still lost in deep memories, recalling what had happened that night.

Nangong Jiao Fen, seeing that she wasn’t responding and was ignoring her, went crazy. “Nangong You Zi, you wouldn’t still be thinking about entering the Huangfu family, would you? Stop dreaming. Aotian only loves me, only me! He even asked for your kidney for my sake!” With that, she approached Nangong You Zi and reached toward the child in her arms.

Provoked, Nangong You Zi hugged her child and tried to dodge. She looked at Nangong Jiao Fen and shouted, “Don’t touch my child!”

But Nangong Jiao Fen laughed mockingly. “What, you’re so protective of this illegitimate child? Do you think that with this child, Aotian will accept you? Haven’t you heard what the doctor just said? This child has no connection to the Huangfu family at all!”

With a beautiful face, Nangong Jiao Fen’s words were incredibly malicious!

Finally, Nangong You Zi couldn’t take it anymore!

She didn’t understand why Nangong Jiao Fen was treating her this way. She had replaced herself with Nangong Jiao Fen, becoming Huangfu Aotian’s lifesaver. She could let go of all of that, but why was Nangong Jiao Fen not sparing even her child?

Nangong Jiao Fen seemed to have heard something funny. “Do you think it’s just about saving a life? Do you remember when Aotian had that car accident? Did you ever wonder how someone with blood type A like me saved Aotian?”

With one sentence, Nangong You Zi froze in place!

Next, Nangong Jiao Fen began a series of shocking revelations about all her calculations over the past three years

.

At this moment, the camera cut to the corridor and turned to the familiar neuro-brain wristband, the familiar ring, and the face that was currently filled with shock!

Audience: What the heck!!! Huangfu Aotian is back!!!

[Everyone in the family! I’m finally starting to enjoy this!!!]

[Help! This dog of a man finally knows the truth!]

[Dog of a man, open your eyes and look! From beginning to end, it was Nangong You Zi who saved you! Not your wicked wife!!!]

However, just at this moment, a plot twist occurred!

As Nangong Jiao Fen was struggling with Nangong You Zi, she accidentally pushed Nangong You Zi down, and Nangong You Zi’s head hit the corner of the wall. Her vision went black, and she fainted.

[The camera also followed Nangong You Zi’s perspective, and the screen suddenly went black!]

The next moment, Nangong You Zi opened her eyes, surrounded by darkness. She was gasping for breath!

Suddenly, she heard a noise and looked down, only to find a man lying in a pool of blood right in front of her!

Her child was nowhere to be seen, but in its place was a backpack, tightly held in her arms, probably out of fear of the dark path at night!

Nangong You Zi seemed to realize something. She approached the man on the ground slowly as the light from her neuro-brain illuminated him, gradually revealing his face!

It was none other than—

Huangfu Aotian!!

[???]

[???]

[??? Isn’t this where Nangong You Zi saved the male lead at the beginning?]

[Did my eyes deceive me? Why did the plot suddenly rewind?]

[Darn it! I know what’s happening! The plot didn’t rewind; Nangong You Zi is reborn!]

[??????]

[And obviously, Nangong You Zi also realized that she had gone back to the past!

She looked at the man in front of her, and her heart raced!

On the other hand, Nangong Jiao Fen, who was still at the bar, suddenly opened her eyes. She looked around at everything familiar, rubbed her sore forehead, and wondered, “What’s going on? Was that just a dream?”]

Audience: ??? Nangong Jiao Fen is also reborn? Damn it! We thought this time, with Nangong You Zi holding the script, revenge was guaranteed! How come the villainess is also reborn?

And then, the audience heard Nangong Jiao Fen’s inner monologue:

[Nangong Jiao Fen: What a trashy dream! I, Miss Nangong, turned into an idiot for a man? Wait a minute, in the dream, it seems I even married that guy with a messed-up mind and body? Are you insane, Nangong Jiao Fen? Although Nangong You Zi was a bit annoying, did she really make you hate her so much in your dreams?]

Audience: Huh???

While the audience was still in shock, the camera cut back to everything. The man, Huangfu Aotian, who had been lying in a pool of blood, also struggled to open his eyes—

[Huangfu Aotian: Where is this? How did I end up back here? Wasn’t I in the hospital?

Huangfu Aotian was still trying to figure out the situation, but at this moment, Nangong You Zi, who was reborn, made a significant decision!]

Before anyone could complain about the entire main cast being reborn, they saw Nangong You Zi pick up a poster from the ground, shook it a couple of times, and then—

She covered Huangfu Aotian’s face with it.

Afterward, she patted her butt, got up, and walked away…

Huangfu Aotian: ?

Audience: ?

Audience: Hahaha!

Author’s Note:

The richest man’s dad: Everyone’s getting reborn, and I’m left out, huh?
