Su Jinli transmigrates into a political intrigue novel as a vicious cannon-fodder character. She is meant to marry the future Grand Secretary to bring him good luck, but on their wedding night she pushes him into the water, causing him to lose his memory.
The original Su Jinli not only cheats on the future Grand Secretary, but also runs off with the family’s money and elopes with another man. Once his memories return, he has her executed by slow slicing.
Looking at her gentle, jade-like husband, who now obeys her in everything, Su Jinli’s legs go weak.
To save her own skin, she tearfully tells him, “Husband, you studied so hard for ten years that you damaged your brain. You’ve forgotten you’re the village schoolteacher. We’re so poor we can barely afford food, and I have to support you by running a stall.”
From then on, the future iron-fisted Grand Secretary, Lu Yanqing, is made to grind ink and write copybooks for his wife to sell during the day, then massage her shoulders and rub her legs at night.
Until one day, a powerful figure from the capital arrives and bows down before Lu Yanqing.
Looking at his trembling little wife, Lu Yanqing lets out a soft laugh. “My dear, didn’t you say you bought me from human traffickers?”
