Kev's forbearing widowed sister-in-law x sick, crazy uncle
Forbidden love, abuse first, then sweetness, Machiavellian counterattack
Shen Qingci's wedding day was also the day when she lost her husband. Before the red candle was extinguished, the groom died suddenly, and the bad reputation of "Kefu" followed her. She was demoted to a rough servant by her mother-in-law Zhao, and was imprisoned in the cold woodshed, where she was tortured day and night.
In the desperate situation, the only light came from the sickly brother-in-law Su Yanci. He was dressed in white and beat the snow. He used a bamboo stick to stop his mother-in-law from being beaten. He whispered "Sister-in-law is the wife of the Su family and should not be insulted lightly", allowing her to find a ray of warmth in the darkness.
But this warmth is fleeting. When they met by chance in the middle of the night, he would lose his gentle mask, grab her neck with one hand, and call her a "lost star" with a sinister look in his eyes; but when she was suffering, he would secretly hand over warm cakes and medicine to her wounds, and his attitude was so repetitive that she could not figure it out.
Rumors in the city increased, and Zhao wanted to sink her into the pond to "remove her filth." He resisted all opinions and used his frail body to protect her. She accidentally broke into his late-night plan, and found out that this seemingly weak young master had already secretly planned to compete for the right to be the head of the Su family.
When she couldn't bear the humiliation and committed suicide in the well, he jumped into the cold water like a madman to pick her up, screaming and questioning her with red eyes; in the secret room, he finally confessed his true feelings. He had been attracted to her as early as the wedding banquet. He pretended to be violent because he was afraid that his true feelings would be exposed, and he fought for power just to protect her.
Intention: Love across mountains and seas
