Wrongly Married to a Scarred Man, Treasured Like a Jewel

Thirty-two-year-old Mu Yanran finds a bloodstained black jade ring in a hospital corridor. The moment her fingertips touch its burning-hot surface, everything goes black and she loses consciousness.

When she opens her eyes again, she’s in an old hospital steeped in the atmosphere of the 1980s, and her cheek is stinging. She’s just been slapped.

“You little brat! All we asked was for you to give your fiancé from the capital to your sister. Was that really worth trying to kill yourself by running into a car?” a shrill voice cries out. It belongs to the original host’s second aunt.

Mu Yanran quickly pieces things together: she’s become a nineteen-year-old girl with the same name. Her parents died early, and her second aunt’s family took all her compensation money and her job placement. Her parents had arranged a marriage for her to a prominent family’s son from the capital. But her second aunt’s daughter, Mu Yan, was supposed to marry a reeducation-through-labor convict who would be released next month, so her aunt came up with a crooked plan and forced the two girls to switch fiancés.

The original host refused to the death. Her second aunt shoved her into the path of a car, and that was how Mu Yanran ended up in her body.

As she rubbed the black jade ring that fit perfectly on her thumb, a cold glint flashed in Mu Yanran’s eyes.

They wanted her to hand over her fiancé to an ungrateful wretch who had stolen her family’s possessions?

Dream on.

What she hadn’t expected was that this marriage, ruined by her second aunt, would ultimately lead her by a twist of fate to wed a man rumored to have a scarred face and a violent temper.

And she certainly hadn’t expected that the scar-faced man everyone feared would cherish her as the apple of his eye.
