Only as she lay dying did Shen Xingruo realize just how badly her stepsister had deceived her in her previous life.
She gave up Lu Wenyan, the Lu family’s eldest son, a gentle and promising man from the military compound, and instead married a street thug everyone despised. In the end, she lived in poverty and ill health, meeting a miserable end, while her stepsister, Shen Jingyao, spent her whole life in splendor under the title of “commander’s wife.”
When she opened her eyes, she was back on the day her fate changed. Her parents were under investigation and hurriedly seeking protectors for the two sisters. Sure enough, Shen Jingyao claimed the Lu family’s eldest son, Lu Wenyan, first, pushing Shen Xingruo toward the second son, Lu Zhanting.
The man stood six foot three, with a scar across his brow and an intimidating aura. He was known throughout the military compound as the “Living King of Hell.”
Everyone waited to see her make a fool of herself.
A delicate young lady from a capitalist family, married to such a rough, cold man? She would be crying and running back to her parents within three days. Her stepsister, meanwhile, flaunted Lu Wenyan’s thoughtfulness and gentleness every day, while doing all she could to grind Shen Xingruo into the dirt.
But why did married life keep turning out so differently from what she expected?
The supposedly terrifying Lu Zhanting handed over his entire salary and snatched up all the housework. By day, he kept a straight face as he protected her. At night, his eyes red, he pulled her into his arms. “Ruoruo, don’t look at my brother. Look at me. Whatever you want, I’ll give you.”
Later, a letter from home revealed a shocking mix-up.
Only then did Shen Xingruo realize she hadn’t married the man her parents had originally intended for her at all.
Furious, she trembled as she spat out, “Divorce!”
Lu Zhanting’s eyes instantly reddened. He pinned her against the door, gritting his teeth. “You want to switch back now? Too late! You’ll be my wife for the rest of your life!”
Later, Shen Xingruo gets into Qingbei University and starts a factory
