[Alternate setting + bewitching heroine + scheming, cunning hero + marriage before love]
In 1975, someone reported the Jiang family, and the whole family faced being sent down to the countryside.
Jiang Yuan was branded a capitalist and a bad element. For the sake of survival, she swallowed her pride and went to her fiancé, asking him to marry her.
After weighing his options, her fiancé broke off the engagement and married someone else. Heartbroken, Jiang Yuan jumped into the river to kill herself... only to be rescued by a sly old fox who had been watching her. “Miss Jiang, you can repay me for saving your life by marrying me!”
Jiang Yuan had never thought much of arrogant, shameless military ruffians, but given her current predicament, the ruffian Xu Jin was an extremely tempting “windfall.”
He had designs on her, so she decided to drag him “into the water” and secure a way out for herself and her parents.
She entered the game as his prey. He smiled, then lowered his head and kept digging his trap, digging and digging... until he had drawn both her body and her heart into his arms.
. . . . . . . . The heroine is either framed or on the way to being framed. Throughout the film, the heroine is constantly being troubled, competing for the female lead, and competing for the male lead.
The hero's brother's marriage was planned. The hero's mother knew it but didn't reveal it. She just let the family be sucked.
