He Xuechu met Ye Shaozhen when he was at his lowest.
At that time, her boyfriend had married his best friend and had lost his usefulness. He's family was even more difficult to get along with.
He is blind and an illegitimate child. He faces the same difficult situation faced by his stepmother who is eyeing him and his ambitious brother.
He Xuechu always thought that their marriage was a transaction, two people who had the same problem and warmed each other.
It wasn't until the truth came out that she realized that Ye Shaozhen's blindness was fake and his difficulty was just an illusion. He was already a strong man in the city.
He treated her like the big bad wolf trapping Little Red Riding Hood. His original purpose was to marry her home.
