Scumbag’s groveling redemption arc + fake-death countdown + perfect gentleman second male lead takes the lead
Wen Shishi is the eldest daughter of a wealthy family, adopted from an orphanage. She has worn a mask of meek obedience since childhood.
The craziest thing she ever did was refuse an arranged marriage and impulsively marry Jiang Sinian, whose family has a generations-old feud with hers.
To win him over, she was sweet and understanding, never arguing or making a fuss. All she wanted was to have a child with him.
But the day after he finally agreed, she discovered that the woman he truly loved was her younger sister, who had bullied her for years!
He married her, treated her well, and agreed to have a child with her only to avenge his stepmother and profit from it!
She decisively ruined his plan, faked her death, and disappeared.
When they meet again, she has a new identity and is now his aunt by marriage.
The man who once cared most about his pride has bloodshot eyes. He ignores everyone’s gaze and kneels before her, humbly pleading.
“You’re Shishi, aren’t you? I was wrong. Please, will you come back?”
Wen Shishi loops her arm through the big shot’s and glances at the man.
“With your nephew in this state, should he see an eye doctor or a psychiatrist?”
