Su Jinniang never imagined that after pouring her heart and soul into supporting the whole family with her skillful hands, she would end up treated like merchandise and sold off to pay her brother’s gambling debts, working herself to death.
When she opened her eyes again, she was fifteen, standing once more at that familiar crossroads.
This time, when her mother tried to force her, she sneered. “Fine, I’ll marry him. One hundred taels, and a formal severance of family ties. From now on, our lives, deaths, fortunes, and misfortunes have nothing to do with each other!”
Everyone laughed at her for being foolish enough to cut off her own family for a man who was as good as dead.
But no one knew she hid peerless embroidery skills in her sleeves and life-saving remedies in her mind.
Her frail husband, whom everyone said wouldn’t live three months, would become her greatest asset as she rose to prominence and shook Jiangnan to its core.
Later, when the eldest son of the Gu family recovered and reclaimed control of his life, everyone waited for him to divorce the “Tofu Beauty,” the bride who had married him to bring him good fortune. Instead, he gathered her into his arms and asked softly, “Jinniang, all the wealth in the world is yours. Would you… spend the rest of your life with me?”
In my previous life, I worked for my mother's family, and now I will work for my husband's family.
Super beautiful, inspirational, and wake-up call!
