Substitute Bride in the ’70s: He Said He’d Never Marry, but the Tycoon Fell Hard

Shen Zhiyi was sold at six years old after transmigrating into the body of Er Ya, a simpleminded girl.

Her attempts to escape all failed, so she had no choice but to pretend to be a foolish stutterer.

In truth, she was the biological daughter of the Shen family of Nancheng.

At twelve, her parents brought her home.

But they favored their adopted daughter and treated Shen Zhiyi as if she didn’t exist.

For the sake of the adopted daughter’s future, they brazenly falsified Shen Zhiyi’s age and made her marry into a fallen branch of the Huo family as a substitute bride.

Their hypocritical scheming and favoritism crushed the original owner’s lingering hopes once and for all.

She realized there was more to the Huo family than met the eye.

She tore away the hypocritical facade of the entire Shen family, demanded compensation, and walked away without a backward glance.

The Shen family all assumed she had hastily married a disabled man from the Huo family to bring him good fortune.

No one knew that the old man who came to lead her out of the mire was a trusted aide to the elite Huo family of the capital.

The Huo family.

The man pinned her against the wall, eyes red and chest heaving.

His deep eyes turned bloodshot as they locked onto her face, leaving her nowhere to run. One hand braced against the wall, trapping her completely.

Their noses were almost touching. A fierce, bitter anguish washed over her.

“Don’t think you can get away from me. You’ll never escape me in this life.”
