Fang Mujing thought marrying Qu Hua was a reckless gamble, like jumping straight into a pit of fire.
She came from a family branded among the “Five Black Categories,” had a younger brother with a disability, and was guarded against everyone.
Qu Hua, by contrast, was a favored son of heaven with a bright future ahead.
She was prepared to endure the Qu family’s contempt and spend her whole life as an invisible nobody.
But who could have expected life in the family compound to be nothing like she imagined?
Her mother-in-law takes her hand. “Jingjing, you’re too thin. I’ll make you chicken soup today!”
Her father-in-law slaps the table. “If anyone dares gossip about my daughter-in-law, I’ll shoot them dead!”
Even her amnesiac younger brother, who has an intellectual disability, becomes the beloved painter of the whole compound.
As for her husband, who seems gentle and refined but is actually devious to the core, he spoils her until she’s soft and pampered to the bone.
Later, Fang Mujing finds a faded photograph of herself from ten years ago tucked into Qu Hua’s diary, and finally understands:
There was no “getting what they each wanted.” Someone had been plotting all along to lure her right into his trap!
Good-looking, good-looking, good-looking, good-looking
Compared with Love in the Age of Innocence, it lacks the heaviness of that era, but it's still watchable. The original book I bought has not arrived yet, so I have to read it first to satisfy my craving.
Okay, so is the writing, so keep reading.
This story is short in length, but the plot is compact and the content is exciting. It is worth reading.
