Synopsis

For three years after marrying into the Sun family, Lin Xiaocao endured beatings. She ate leftovers and cold dishes, wore worn-out clothes, and, because she had not borne a child, her mother-in-law called her barren waste ground where nothing could grow.

Then, on a snowy night, she was forced to knock on the door of the rough-hewn man next door.

She thought she had escaped the wolf’s den only to fall into a tiger’s jaws, but that night marked the beginning of a new life.

In the Sun household, she was so insignificant she did not dare even breathe too loudly. With Zhao Tiezhu, she was a treasure he guarded with the utmost care.

“Stay with me. I’ll protect you from now on.” The man’s awkward promise melted her frozen heart.

The luckiest thing that ever happened to Lin Xiaocao was meeting this rough-hewn man.
