On the first day of her marriage to her lame husband, she sleeps alone.
On the second day, he treats her with contempt.
On the third day, nothing happens.
On the fourth day, he hits her.
Chi Ze had been looking forward to his new home, but only after her husband hits her does she realize she’s jumped from one fire pit into another.
She tries to win over her mother-in-law, but the woman is a fence-sitter who sides with whoever benefits her.
She tries to please her husband, but all she gets in return is a tongue-lashing.
To gather useful information and escape the Qu family as soon as possible, Chi Ze approaches her husband’s younger brother with an ulterior motive. Before she can even try to charm him, he grabs her wrist and pulls her into his arms.
“Trying to seduce me?”
Chi Ze: “?”

Qu Yuchen hears that a new member has joined the family and catches the fastest flight home.
At first sight, the newcomer seems like a pure white night-blooming cereus, soft as a cloud and so innocent it hurts.
His mother and eldest brother are both rotten to the core. This place isn’t right for him.
Following his plan, Qu Yuchen puts a fake marriage certificate and the truth that he and his eldest brother were never married in front of him.
He had meant to use this to drive him out of the Qu family, but Chi Ze simply ignores it and starts putting on an act instead.
Qu Yuchen has no choice but to change his plans and play along.
•
On the day he drives Chi Ze out of the house, Qu Yuchen suddenly feels an inexplicable emptiness in his heart, as if something is missing.

But when he tracks Chi Ze overseas, he discovers that Chi Ze has found a new family.
He is being cherished, calling someone “big brother” over and over, a title he never once used for Qu Yuchen.
Qu Yuchen’s eyes turn red. “My brother is dead. You should marry me!”
