“Marrying you was the greatest shame of my life.”
Later, he knelt in the snow and begged, “Sister, please look at me one more time!”
[Angst for Her + Angst for Him]+Pregnancy Escape+ [Ex-Chasing Crematorium] SC, an aloof beauty
Nineteen-year-old Lin Minghui has two secrets.
1. She transmigrated.
2. She has a golden finger in pharmacology.
Sixteen-year-old Lu Jue has two secrets, too.
1. He stopped wanting to live a long time ago.
2. But he still can’t die.
The whole capital laughs at sickly Third Young Master Lu for marrying a country girl who can’t read a word and is utterly uncouth.
What they don’t know is that beneath Lin Minghui’s country-girl exterior is a modern office worker, ground down by the 996 work schedule.
The woman he loves provokes her? She turns her into a VIP client.
Her wealthy mother-in-law makes life difficult at every turn? She quickly becomes her caring little darling.
Her husband gives her the cold shoulder? She treats him like a demanding client.
Lu Jue watches this baffling woman with cold eyes.
Unlike the other women, she never fights for his favor. Instead, she spends her days drying herbs and brewing medicine in the courtyard, and even gets along well with the servants.
Then one day, he sees her alone beneath the moon, rubbing her swollen knees after kneeling, a carefree smile still on her face.
“Why don’t you complain?” he can’t help asking.
“Mr. Lu... I mean, husband,” she says, blinking. “It’s just a job.”
Later, when she really does pack her bags and get ready to run,
Third Young Master Lu, who has always been proud and proper, stops her barefoot.
“Lin Minghui!” His voice trembles. “Did you really... think this was just a job?”
Three years later, when they meet again,
Lin Minghui is dressed in plain clothes, head bowed as she checks the accounts, when a bloodied man blocks her way. Third Young Master Lu, once so cold and dignified, glares at her with bloodshot eyes. “You taught me... how to cherish...”
His voice is so hoarse he can barely speak,
“...but you never taught me how to live after losing you.”
“Big brother, who are you?”
