In 1970s Shanghai, the day before her wedding, Lin Chuxia not only catches her hypocritical fiancé and her sweet-faced stepsister rolling around on her wedding bed, but also hears her own father standing guard outside the door for them! It turns out that her father set her up and tried to ruin her reputation so he could keep for himself the huge dowry of gold bars her birth mother had left her. When she uncovers his scheme, her father and stepmother drug her and bundle her onto a green train, sending her to marry her stepsister's groom: Huo Tingxiao, a terrifying officer in the military corps in the far northwest, rumored to be “disfigured, crippled in both legs, and so badly damaged down there that he could never have children”!
Her scumbag fiancé and stepsister laugh triumphantly back in Shanghai. “Go spend the rest of your life in the northwest as a widow! You'll have to clean up after a cripple, too!”
Lin Chuxia sneers. With her “unlimited supplies and spiritual spring space,” she can live like a queen anywhere. Being a widow is even better. She can enjoy being on her own!
But when she's thrown into the bridal chamber, the supposedly crippled and infertile man stands up, shirtless! His eight-pack glistens with sweat, his shoulders are broad and his waist slim, and he's brimming with raw masculinity. He uses his breathtakingly handsome face to corner her against the wall, his voice low and husky. “I heard you came here to take care of me?”
That first night, his perfect body nearly leaves Lin Chuxia unable to stand. So much for being infertile! So much for a life as a widow!
Well…
