In her previous life, Chu Weihe was plotted against by a scumbag and her scheming cousin, and her family was destroyed.

After her death, the only person who stood up for her was Gu Linye, the rough-hewn man who was the poorest and quietest person in the village. He went after justice for her, knife in hand.

Reborn, Chu Weihe faced the scumbag who had come to break off their engagement. She readily let him go, then turned around and trampled him underfoot.

After taking her revenge, she went to the rough-hewn man chopping wood in the corner.

"Gu Linye, would you be willing to join me and make a life together?"

Gu Linye blushed, flustered and at a loss. "My family is poor. I'll only drag you into a hard life..."

At first, Chu Weihe only wanted to repay his kindness. She planned to start a small business with this honest man and build a fortune.

But this man was not only a skilled worker, he also took meticulous care of her, even bringing her a basin of water to wash her feet.

Someone jealously tried to stir things up. "Boss Gu is making a fortune now. Why is he still at home waiting on his wife?"

The usually quiet man stopped what he was doing and answered earnestly, "Without my wife, I'd still be wallowing in the mud. In this life, she's the only one for me. She deserves every bit of kindness I can give her."
