One sentence synopsis: Either die or marry Zhou An, she chose the latter.
Wang Ruyu, the daughter of the Wang family, was divorced because she could not have children.
The Wang family regarded her as a shame.
In order to get rid of this burden, Wang Ruyu was drunk by his brother and sent to the bed of Zhou An, the eldest son of the Zhou family.
Zhou An is conservative in his thinking and believes that since there is a matter between a man and a woman, the two should get married.
So, on the basis of no emotion, the Zhou family married as the Wang family wished.
After the marriage, Zhou An set countless rules for Wang Ruyu.
Room allocation. Keep your duty. Be a wife who meets the expectations of your elders.
Wang Ruyu did it all.
Until one stormy night, Zhou An heard Wang Ruyu murmuring his ex's name.
He pinched her chin and asked, "Are you still thinking about him? Are you still looking for him?"
Wang Ruyu shook his head.
But he humbly begged her to stay, "Don't leave me. I will give you everything I can give. I will make you happy."
