[Heroine Awakens, Hero Reborn from the Start + Dramatic Couple Compete in Acting + Hero Is Pure]
After her husband dies, Jiang Xianyue finds a man with amnesia.
He's handsome, good with his hands, and calls her his wife.
She spirits him away to a town where nobody knows them and makes up a past for him: a womanizing, irresponsible scumbag of a husband.
Her own persona: a fragile wife who has been betrayed but remains devoted.
The man believes her.
He spends every day consumed with guilt, waking up each morning determined to make it up to her by...
Doing the laundry, cooking, looking after the child, and listening to her gaslight him:
"Honey, the doctor said your brain was damaged, and the condition could flare up again at any time."
"Besides me, who would give you a warm harbor? Who would take care of you, keep you warm, and make sure you have clothes to wear?"
The man looks down at the fishnet outfit with its strategically placed holes and falls silent.
Then Jiang Xianyue starts having dreams.
In her dreams, he's the emotionally closed-off male lead from a novel, and she's the evil widow who abducted him and treated him like trash.
The day he regains his memories, she gets a shiny pair of handcuffs and a lifetime VIP pass to prison.
Jiang Xianyue looks at the harmless-looking man in her arms and thinks: ...Run! Run now!
Little does she know, the man was already reborn with memories of his past life.
-
In his previous life, her terrible acting fooled him for twenty years, and in the end, he died at her hands.
This time, he swears he won't make the same mistake. He'll stay and play along with her, settling the score bit by bit.
He resolves not to treat any woman kindly again...
He does the laundry, cooks, and warms the bed with a cold expression.
But she's the one who runs away first.
Standing in the half-empty rental apartment, he grips their fake marriage certificate tightly, laughing coldly to himself.
A fake certificate can become real, too.
In this life, it's his turn to lock her up, with nowhere to run.
