Clockwork Your Time Is Up

Mr. Zhan, Your Wife Is Looking For You

In her past life, Lu Yao was caught in a bloody war between two families, but was tricked into sleeping with a stranger, getting pregnant and killed with her child still in her belly. Returning from the dead, she took her pregnancy report and strutted to the Zhan family's mansion, yelling, ""Zhan Jinghong!"" Zhan Jinghong was the eldest son of the Zhan family, a super-rich family in the capital. He was known to be ruthless, handsome, volatile, and detached. However, no matter how callous he was, surely, he would admit his own mistakes...? Slamming the pregnancy report on the table, Lu Yao snapped: Take responsibility! Zhan Jinghong: Who are you? Lu Yao: A month ago, in room 1301 of Hotel Million Peaks, we did it on the bed, on the balcony, by the window, and in the bathroom. Don't tell me you don't remember. Zhan Jinghong: ...?! Later on, news that Zhan Jinghong was getting married spread throughout the capital, and his bride was alleged to be the illegitimate daughter of the Lu family, recently recognized. The capital was certainly left in shock by the news, but they were all waiting for a quick divorce and for Lu Yao to make herself a laughing stock, since no one believed she could hold the throne as a matriarch. Regarding that, Lu Yao had this to say, “Sorry, but I am going to keep you waiting.” With the superpowers she gained following her reincarnation, she reshuffled the power balance in the capital, and people soon spoke about her as if she would soon surpass Zhan Jinghong. The public: So what if she is somewhat impressive? Her marriage won't be a happy one! Lu Yao, giving Zhan Jinghong a nudge with her foot while she nursed her son: Hear that? Someone said that my marriage won't be a happy one... Zhan Jinghong: Who said that? I'll tear his mouth off!
