[Happy ending + Republican-era romance + marriage before love + rekindled love + a long road to winning back his wife + domineering shipping tycoon + gentle violinist from the music world]
When Ji Yunying learned that her father did not have long to live, she hurried back to Shanghai after years of studying abroad. But the moment she set foot on home soil, her father’s second wife sent her to the bed of a stranger!
Ji Yunying fought back and fled, and was fortunate enough to be rescued by a kind stranger. She resolved to expose her stepmother’s true nature, only to be heartbroken when she discovered that her father had allowed it all to happen.
Just when she had lost all hope, someone offered to become her support, in exchange for one thing: marrying him.
“Mr. Xiao, I don’t understand why you want to marry me.”
“Miss Ji, I need a wife who can lend me respectability. Your mother is dead, and your father doesn’t love you. You’re the best choice.”
Ji Yunying accepted the arrangement with a bitter smile.
Later, just as expected, Ji Yunying fell in love with Xiao Yeting. She thought fate had finally shown her some kindness, only to discover that Xiao Yeting was the one who had deceived her most of all.
In an instant, love and trust came crashing down.
