In that alley shaded by wisteria flowers, Lin Shutong seemed to see all the possibilities for his future. She stood on the path, looking into the distance, her heart filled with longing and uneasiness about the future. As a college student who is about to graduate, her dream is to become a teacher and use her knowledge to inspire more people. However, fate paved a completely different path for her.
The Lin family's traditional concept of favoring sons over daughters is deeply rooted, and everything about the younger brother is a priority. In order to raise enough tuition for their younger brother, their parents made a heartbreaking decision - to marry Lin Shutong to Zhou Jingming. Zhou Jingming's father, a prestigious local primary school principal, was actually a man who abused his power and was morally corrupt. He blatantly sexually assaulted female teachers in the office; he also abused his wife at home. Zhou Jingming, who grew up in this kind of family environment, has an irritable and selfish personality, and his treatment of Lin Shutong is even more outrageous.
The wedding night did not bring any happy beginning, but became the beginning of a nightmare. Married life is one torture after another for Lin Shutong. Zhou Jingming used various vicious methods to make her future wife pregnant and was forced to give up her studies. After giving birth to his daughter, Zhou Jingming beat and scolded her even harder because he failed to get a son as he wished. Every injury seemed to leave a deep mark in her heart, making her feel extremely desperate. College classmate Jiang Yanzhou appeared. He not only helped her find a job, but also encouraged her to study law and become a lawyer. She went from being a victim of domestic violence to becoming an asylum seeker against domestic violence.
