My Husband Is Sickly and Love-Struck

When Lin Chan was young, her family had nothing. Her mother was gone, and her father was ill. While other girls her age ate, drank, and had fun at home, she went up the mountain to gather herbs. Even her innocent heart was trampled by Bai Tiao’s thoughtless cruelty. Bai Tiao deliberately threw the herbs she had dried to sell onto the ground. It was fine. She could gather more. He looked down on the food she brought home, calling it shabby. It was fine. She could put up with it. He deliberately turned the children in the village against her. She put up with that too. None of it mattered. But he shouldn’t have mocked her for not having a mother. She used to think Bai Tiao must be kindhearted because he was so handsome. Now she knew she was wrong. Her father told her to stop seeing Bai Tiao. She thought her father was right. Handsome boys were all liars. After not seeing Lin Chan for a long time, Bai Tiao went looking for her for the first time. There were no more fresh flowers Lin Chan had picked at his door. He was inexplicably irritated, thinking Lin Chan was deliberately trying to make him lower his head and apologize. Egged on by the boys around him, he did something unforgivable. In the end, he had no choice but to cut his wrists to atone, begging only for Lin Chan to look back at him once. Watching Lin Chan walk side by side with someone else, Bai Tiao drugged her with a drugged drink.
