Song Tingwan was the beauty of the surrounding villages. She had her eye on the commune’s most promising man early on and married him.
Every month, her husband was away from home, but his money arrived right on time. Life couldn’t have been better.
Unfortunately, her husband met with an accident, and she became a widow.
There’s always trouble at a widow’s door. Her in-laws accused her of bringing bad luck to her husband, planned to pocket the entire compensation payment, and wanted to marry her off to a former convict for another bride price.
She wasn’t the sort to swallow her anger. She wanted half the compensation, and anyone who schemed against her would pay for it.
With her husband gone, Song Tingwan began planning to find her next candidate.
Until her husband’s comrade arrived.
A faint smile curved Song Tingwan’s lips. Her next husband had arrived.

Zhou Jinyan owed Shen Minghuai his life. He knew the only person Shen Minghuai couldn’t let go of was his wife, Song Tingwan.
He ought to take good care of her and keep her safe in Shen’s place.
In Zhou Jinyan’s eyes, Song Tingwan was Shen Minghuai’s widow.
He and she should maintain proper boundaries and keep their distance.
But at some point, a vile and shameful thought took root in his heart: he wanted to keep her firmly within his territory, where no one else could covet her.

Shen Minghuai comes “back from the dead,” and even though Zhou Jinyan now has a legitimate place at her side, he still feels completely insecure.
Every night, mad possessiveness swells in his dark eyes. His low, hoarse voice murmurs in her ear: “Wanwan, tell me you love me.”
