At thirty-five, Su Zhir ran a difficult gauntlet of survival amid the bustle of Yibin.
Divorced and alone, she ran a struggling women's clothing shop, carried twenty thousand in debt, and was repeatedly harassed and exploited by her deadbeat ex-husband. Her mother kept pressuring her, forcing her into remarriage blind dates and hoping to marry her off to anyone who would take her and repay the debt.
With rent weighing on her, her money tied up in merchandise, and no clear path ahead, life had backed her into a corner.
Then her best friend made an outrageous suggestion: a marriage of convenience that would meet both their needs, suddenly bringing a ray of light into her bleak life.
A cold and mysterious head of a top-tier wealthy family urgently needs a marriage to stabilize his position.
A proud but battered ex-wife, weighed down by burdens, just wants a shield to help her escape the awful people and messes in her life.
Two people with no connection at all hit it off and tie the knot in a flash marriage.
They marry first and fall in love later. She turns her life around from the brink of despair. From then on, the awful people stay away, and she comes back from the brink, taking her bitter life and making it thrive.
