The Marshal's Reborn Bride

Princess Yun Jing is married at the end of the Qing dynasty, and her husband Shen Yifu leaves on the wedding night without explanation. She dies six months later. Her soul wakes ten years on, in the Republic era, in the body of a girl named Lin Yunzhi. This time she intends to decide her own life, so she goes to Shanghai to study, and finds Shen Yifu there as a university supervisor. He notices her gestures and mannerisms, which are those of his dead wife, and starts testing her. Meanwhile the Lin family is in trouble. Her eldest brother's oil research has attracted people who want it, and her elder sister's death does not hold up to examination. Handling those crises puts the two of them together, and feeling grows between them, and a habit of hers that nobody else could have known confirms for him who she is. The danger closes in, and to protect her and clear out the men behind it he returns to the army, taking up his old post as a young marshal. The reason he ran from the wedding comes out: he had been ordered away on revolutionary work and had no choice, which settles ten years of misunderstanding between them.
