Ashen Inkstone

Everyone knows Gu Hanyan is the most pathetic live-in son-in-law in Jiangcheng. Three years into the marriage, his wife slaps him in public, pours boiling water on him, and locks him in a storage room. When his younger sister is critically ill and needs medicine, she turns him away with the words, “The equipment is locked.” The whole internet calls him useless, but he never defends himself. Nobody knows that he used to be the commander of a special forces brigade, or that he gave it all up to honor a promise made at the cost of a life. He protected her life, while she destroyed his sister’s. Then, on the day he left with nothing, the powerful figures from Jiangcheng’s military, political, and business circles all stood up and said to her, “President Yu, you’re not worthy of him.” Only then did she realize that the one person who could save her life was the very person she had pushed away with her own hands. By the time the truth came out, it was too late.
