[1v1 | Both leads' first love]
When Shen Fanzhi slapped the marriage contract down in front of Fu Jingzhou, she didn't yet know she was living in a book.
She was the villainess in a redemption novel, fated to run away with a punk, get sold into the red-light district, and die a horrible death.
And the man sitting before her in a wheelchair, whom she had despised in every way, would one day take charge of the Fu family again.
The moment she awakened to the truth, Shen Fanzhi dropped to her knees and hugged his leg. “Honey, let's go get our marriage license!”

After they married, Shen Fanzhi caused a scene at every turn, putting on a show wherever she went.
Gossipmongers waited to see Fu Jingzhou, back at the top, dump Shen Fanzhi, that pretty little ornament.
Then one day, Shen Fanzhi made the trending topics for “getting a hotel room” with a male classmate.
At a company meeting, Fu Jingzhou's WeChat messages were accidentally projected on the screen:
“My wife is young. It's only natural that she's easily tempted.”
“She hasn't seen much of the world and doesn't know what's best.”
“I don't need to break you two up. Her crush will pass quickly, and she'll be back at my side soon.”
The final message was full of menace:
“As her husband, I can forgive her, but I won't forgive you.”
The whole room fell silent.
