On a stormy night, Lin Jianyue is reborn on the eve of the day her biological parents sold her.
In her previous life, she was sent to the Zhao family for a bride price of 800 yuan, becoming a “bought wife” whom anyone could beat and trample. She endured the beatings and humiliation and finally escaped, only to be drained dry by her birth family and dragged back down by fate. In the end, she died miserably on the coldest night of winter.
When she opens her eyes again, she is back at the point where her fate fell apart for good.
This time, she won't cry, kneel, or beg anyone for mercy.
Dressed in her wedding gown and splashing through the mud, she knocks in the middle of the night on the door of the most fearsome man in the village: Zhou Yanchuan.
Everyone thinks she has nowhere else to turn and is marrying the “madman” everyone fears.
But no one knows she isn't there to beg for a way to survive.
She's there to change her fate.
From fleeing one wedding to marrying into another, then building a life by making use of her new position; from a daughter who was sold off to a powerful comeback; from someone everyone laughed at to someone who drags the Zhao family, the Lin family, and everyone who ever trampled her back into the mud. In this life, Lin Jianyue will no longer be anyone's burden or stepping-stone.
She will make money, find her footing, and claw back the path that belongs to her, inch by inch.
And the man she once considered her sworn enemy becomes her strongest support and steadiest ally after they face off side by side time and again.
This is the story of a woman who returns to the edge of the abyss and changes her fate with her own hands, making a fierce comeback.
It's also the story of two tough people who go from testing each other to standing side by side, ultimately building the life they want.
In a word:
The night she was sold, she refused to accept her fate. Instead, still dressed in her wedding gown, she married the most dangerous man in the village.
