Lin Wanqiu was sold by her stepmother to marry Lu Zheng, the "living king of hell" from a neighboring village who had killed two fiancées on behalf of her eloped sister.
The whole village was waiting to see how she would be tortured to death so that she could pay for the Lin family's betrothal gift.
On their wedding night, the hideous scars on the man's chest and the scalding body temperature made her tremble like chaff, thinking that she was going to be strangled to death on the kang. Unexpectedly, the Living King of Hell just held her in his arms and coaxed in her ear with his hoarse voice that could scare a child into crying: "Don't be afraid, wife. After eating this bowl of noodles, I will love you from now on."
Lin Wanqiu thought this was just a rough talk, until he turned over the table at her parents' house for her, stood in front of her with a hatchet, and handed over all his belongings to her.
Later, the regretful sister cried and begged to come to her house, hoping to get her "good marriage" back.
But in front of the whole village, Lu Zheng put a gold ring on Lin Wanqiu's hand, pressed her into his arms and kissed her: "Go away, I, Lu Zheng, have only one daughter-in-law, from body to heart, from beginning to end, named Lin Wanqiu. Who are you to dare to interfere with my daughter-in-law's eyes?"
