Yang Yiyi, a first-year student at Jingbei University, was pushed into an icy lake from behind by a classmate jealous of her beauty.
Her senior, Gu Zhiheng, risked his own life to dive into the freezing lake and pull the unconscious Yang Yiyi ashore. He then hurried off because something urgent came up.
When Yang Yiyi woke up, Li Yan took advantage of the situation he had deliberately created.
She mistook him for her rescuer and followed his every word.
When Li Yan used his supposed status as her savior to demand that she repay him by giving herself to him,
Yang Yiyi was too young to know how to refuse. Though she was unwilling, she gritted her teeth and repaid him.
But after just one encounter, she became pregnant.
At a loss, Yang Yiyi once again mistook Li Yan for a lifeline.
She blindly trusted his advice, voluntarily dropped out of school, married him, and had his child.
Even when her parents objected and threatened to cut ties with her,
she was so blinded by love that she insisted on leaving school and marrying him without a dowry.
She was convinced her choice would lead to a good life, and waited for the day she could return to her family and make everyone eat their words.
But she had no idea that, however beautiful she was, Li Yan saw her as nothing more than a rag.
Who would cherish someone they got without paying a bride price or putting in much effort?
And what in-laws would value a woman with no family backing her?
Again and again, she was hurt, cursed at, and beaten.
For the sake of giving her child a complete family, Yang Yiyi kept enduring it.
Until, after she was beaten unconscious yet again and her husband threw her out of the house, she crossed paths with Gu Zhiheng.
If a god stands in my way, I’ll kill the god. If a Buddha stands in my way, I’ll kill the Buddha.
She believed that he would always be there behind her, and that she could live without fear.
Her life would no longer be in pieces.
The truth was, there was nothing wrong with her. She just hadn’t met the right person.
With a different male lead, her life could be completely different.
