Oops, My Heart Broke the Rules!

Upon receiving a new mission, the protagonist is reborn as Yelena Quinn, an abandoned wife. This time, her task is not only to exact revenge on those who wronged her, but also to win the heart of the most elusive man—one with whom she unexpectedly shares a tangled history spanning three past lives.

Story Recap

Episode 1

A new mission drops: be reborn as Yelena Quinn, a gentle 24-year-old housewife whose husband betrayed her. The original Yelena overheard Gu Jinchuan with another woman and learned he only married her for a business alliance. Already battling depression, she swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills and died in the fish tank.

The system hands her assignment down plainly — help the original host take revenge, find true love, and make her husband regret everything. She accepts without hesitation. It's a cold, brutal opening, and she steps into a life that ended in quiet despair. Now she just has to decide where to aim first.

Episode 2

Fresh in Yelena's body, she sizes up the wardrobe and the marriage. The original host spent a year trying to please a husband who never once touched her, and it got her nothing. When Gu Jinchuan returns, he's ready to talk divorce — citing Bai Jianing, a woman he met at the club just two months ago.

He offers the house plus three million in alimony, and even threatens legal proceedings, implying she can't have children. She doesn't crumble. She tells him to transfer the money, then sends him off. But she's already thinking bigger: tonight, Gu Jinchuan is meeting his mistress at the members-only club, and she intends to be there.

Episode 3

Getting into the club takes nerve. She stages a run-in with a man's car, refusing payment and demanding he bring her inside instead. At the door, staff insist she can't enter without membership — until she name-drops Gu Jinchuan as her "big client."

Inside, she asks about the pianist: Bai Jianing, a poor college student who knows exactly how to attract a man's attention and play vulnerable. Yelena recognizes her as the woman who helped destroy the original host. When Gu Jinchuan spots her, she plays it light — just here for fun, don't tell anyone I'm your wife. Then she quietly orders a background check on a certain man.

Episode 4

The file comes back: Bo Siyan, 29, tall, the hidden illegitimate son of the city's wealthiest family. Cast out young, he built his own empire through sheer ruthlessness — and he trusts no woman. The system warns her to stay away. She ignores it.

She corners him with scraped knees and a bruised neck, threatening to call the police. He sees through the act instantly — another woman fishing for a rich man. But she has leverage: she claims to know his secret. He warns her that anyone who rides in his car should know how many people want him dead. She doesn't flinch. She just wants him to take her home.

Episode 5

Bo Siyan tells her plainly to stop clinging — they're not even divorced yet, so technically she's still a rich man's wife. She fires back, daring him to announce her as his wife in public. He offers five million to go home immediately. She refuses.

Then Bai Jianing appears, sweet and apologetic, insisting she and Gu Jinchuan are "innocent" and only discussing music. Yelena doesn't buy it. If nothing happened yet, does that mean it's not cheating? She presses the point hard, calling out the mistress act for exactly what it is. The room goes tense, and Gu Jinchuan's patience is wearing thin.

Episode 6

Bo Siyan's temper flares when someone strikes a woman in front of him — that's his line, and he won't have it crossed. He makes clear that whoever she is, hitting a woman breaks his rules. The other man backs off fast.

Afterward, she asks him to drive her home, and he tests her again: does she understand what it means to ride in his car? In this city, as many people fear him, just as many want him dead. She climbs in anyway. It's the kind of reckless move that either earns his respect or gets her hurt — and he hasn't decided which yet.

Episode 7

He asks if she's brave enough for a "death car." She says yes, and promises to protect him. He notices a scent on her and warns that if it's anything suspicious, she'll regret it. The system reveals it's a built-in body fragrance — a gift, one of her perks.

Then he turns serious: how does she know he's the illegitimate son of the Bo family? She swears she'll guard the secret if he spares her. He calls her the only woman bold enough to threaten him twice. Before anything settles, they're being tailed. Whatever she's stumbled into, it's already chasing them down — and you'll want to see how she talks her way out of this one.
