Before she turned twenty, Mingyue lived boldly and freely.
After she turned twenty, the Ming family went bankrupt, her father went to prison, and her stepmother, desperate to repay their debts, planned to marry her older sister off to Fu Chenzhou, a violent and cruel man who was disfigured and disabled.
But on the wedding day, Mingyue unexpectedly ended up in bed with her brother-in-law.
With the family’s debts hanging over her, Mingyue had no choice but to go along with the mistake and take her sister’s place as the bride.
Later, when Fu Chenzhou had gained power, her stepmother demanded that Mingyue give up her position as Mrs. Fu.
Her husband had already signed the divorce papers, too.
Deeply disappointed, Mingyue left Fu Chenzhou.
But two months later, she suddenly began retching.
Fu Chenzhou had lived a cold and hard-hearted life for nearly thirty years. He never expected to fall for a young woman.
But just as he realized how he felt, she ran away.
When they met again, she was holding the hand of an adorable little child.
She said, “Mr. Fu, you've got the wrong idea.”
He sneered. “That's fine. I don't mind being a stepdad.”
