[Reunion after a long absence, double cleansing, fake death, horse falling, daddy, male protagonist's early pseudonym]
(The bright and fierce young lady × the ascetic and loyal dog boss who pretends to be mute)
Five years ago, Xia Zhaoning's Bai Yueguang, Jin Mingxu, died in a premeditated kidnapping case.
At that time, she thought that the most painful thing in her life was losing the person she loved deeply.
But later, within seven days of his mother's death, his father brought his illegitimate son into the house.
Immediately after the Xia family was in turmoil, Shen Mohan, a new upstart in Haicheng who never showed his face, named her to marry her.
Only then did she realize that her life had long been pushed into a chess game with no way out.
Since we are desperate, we might as well take the initiative and take a gamble.
It is rumored that Shen Mohan is ruthless and inhumane, and he is also a mute with a ruined voice.
Xia Zhaoning felt that this was just an ordinary marriage where each got what he needed, and he just needed to make the best use of everything.
But after meeting, she found that this man looked very much like her dead lover.
She tested him step by step and fell into his preference again and again.

No one knows that Shen Mohan, the mysterious upstart who is feared by everyone in Haicheng's business world, is the Jin Mingxu who was supposed to die five years ago.
Now that he has changed his name and returned to Haicheng, he just wants to be her sharpest knife, take back the Xia family for her, and protect her.
He told himself that he was already dead.
When all is said and done, he will leave.
But when Xia Zhaoning approached him again, all the forbearance and restraint he had exerted in the past five years could not offset his greed to have her again.

On the day when the horse fell, everything was calm.
She just hugged him tightly: "Axu, you must be very tired being alone for so many years, right?"
The guilt and fear that had gnawed at him day and night collapsed at this moment.
His gods forgave him.
