A deal sends Song Xingran to marry Pei Mohan in place of someone else, despite his notorious reputation.
On their first day of marriage, he puts on a pitiful, innocent act. “My family abandoned me. I have nothing, and even staying alive is a problem.”
Song Xingran says she doesn’t mind.
She’ll earn the money and provide for their household.
She devotes herself to her career, while her sweet, helpless-looking husband helps her take down scumbags, expose scheming women, and deal with fake sweethearts.
Then one day, her husband drops the act and reveals himself as the powerful heir to the Pei family.
When Song Xingran realizes that the husband who seemed gentle and courteous in public is actually cunning and despicable, she flies into a rage. He’s swindled her out of both her money and her heart.
People say, “Song Xingran is keeping a pretty boy on the side and cheating on the Pei family’s eldest son. That hot-tempered young master will never let her get away with it.”
The socialites of the capital sit back and wait for Song Xingran to be kicked out, ready to swoop in.
Instead, they hear that Young Master Pei has been made to kneel on a washboard by his wife, and has cried while doing it.
