Ill-fated, mute, rugged country man x sweet, vulnerable, amnesiac and cognitively impaired wife
Su Wenxin uses her naturally powerful voice to win the lead singing position in the cultural troupe.
Her future looks bright, but a stage accident leaves her with amnesia and impaired cognitive abilities.
When her family, who favor sons over daughters, realize she can no longer earn money, they try to sell her off for a pittance.
Xiao Yunfeng happens to be passing by and pays to take her home.
Xiao Yunfeng is known as a bad man throughout the surrounding villages, and is also called an ill-fated loner. Anyone who gets involved with him supposedly meets an untimely death.
He also avoids dealing with people, leading to rumors that he's mute.
And because he once returned from the mountains covered in blood, people say this mute is a ruthless killer.
No one dares provoke him lightly.
This taciturn "brute of a man" takes Su Wenxin, who has amnesia and impaired cognitive abilities, home to live with him and his two children. He raises her for five years.
During those five years,
outsiders think Su Wenxin is frequently abused. She's always covered in bruises, and rumors spread that the brute beats her every day.
In reality, Xiao Yunfeng treats Su Wenxin with the utmost respect and wouldn't dare cross the line. He treats her even better than his own children, as if she might melt if he held her in his mouth or break if he held her in his palm.
His two children dote on her too, cherishing her with all their hearts and calling her "Mom" at every turn.
When another accident happens, Su Wenxin regains her memories and mental faculties. Xiao Yunfeng is both happy and afraid.
She knows returning to the cultural troupe won't be easy, so she decides to take another path...
