To pay for her younger sister's medical treatment, Song Chujiu is forced to marry a penniless, sickly live-in son-in-law!
Jiang Muhan gives her a cold look. “I'm so poor I don't have two coins to rub together. No car, no house, no savings. And I'm sick too. I can't lift anything, I'm delicate and weak, and my stomach is in poor shape.”
Song Chujiu grits her teeth. “That's fine. Since we're married now, I'll support you!”
She prepares to work herself to the bone and provide for the family. But then her husband appears on TV.
He's worth billions and is the heir to a wealthy family!
The people who once looked down on him for being poor are stunned. They wail and plead, regretting it for the rest of their lives.
Song Chujiu realizes she's been tricked into marriage. Her mind fills with stories of Cinderella struggling to fit into a rich family, battling her in-laws, and being tormented by mistresses... She buys a standing-room train ticket and flees in the middle of the night!
But he blocks her at the door.
Song Chujiu: “You... You tricked me into marrying you! You've been lying to me from the start!”
The man: “That's right. I know my crimes are grave, so sentence me to a lifetime of marriage to my wife!”
