Lin Tian grew up in a remote border town after his mother was murdered. Meek and reserved, he fell in love at first sight with Su Qingyu five years ago, after rescuing her when she tried to kill herself because her beloved had abandoned her. Su Qingyu agreed to marry him, but refused to let him touch her, saying she “wasn't ready.” Thinking he simply wasn't good enough, he devoted himself to her in silence for five years, content to be her “husband in name” and “free housekeeper,” while outsiders mocked him as a “good-for-nothing.” Then he saw with his own eyes the goddess he had placed on a pedestal wrapped in the arms of a scumbag.

Thus begins his path to a comeback and revenge...
