In her previous life, Zhong Ling'er always thought that as a legitimate daughter, she would remain noble even after her mother died and her maternal relatives refused to look after her. At the very least, she expected to marry a healthy nobleman. Instead, she was promised to Ming Shiqian, who was paralyzed from the waist down.
After they married, no matter how attentive and considerate he was, she was never satisfied. Whenever anything went wrong, she took her anger out on him. Beating and cursing him became routine. She even shoved him out of his wheelchair and left him to struggle back to their room alone on a snowy night. Only after she was falsely accused of having an affair with a guard, paraded through the streets for three days, and secretly spared by Ming Shiqian did Zhong Ling'er realize how foolish and stupid she had been.
