Su Nian's life ended when he was five years old.
After being pushed down the stairs by her stepmother, her mind stopped at that age forever. For the next fifteen years, she was left in the countryside, living in a storage room, eating leftovers, being beaten and scolded, like a piece of forgotten trash.
When she was twenty years old, the Su family finally thought of her - in order to give her to the most terrifying man in Haicheng, as a substitute bride for their sister.
Li Sicheng, known as the "Living King of Hell", frightened the entire Z country with his iron-blooded tactics. He hated this marriage, and even more hated the "idiot bride" who couldn't even speak smoothly. After the marriage, he almost never went home and left her to the servants, not even bothering to pay her any attention.
Su Nian didn't dare to cry, make trouble, or speak out. She huddled in the corner and slept. She didn't complain when she was burned. She was used to being beaten and would only say "I will be good". She thought everyone would hit her and that the world was so cold.
Until one day, Li Sicheng accidentally saw the scars all over her body.
Until he discovered that she would smile at the butterflies in the garden, tear up the bread and feed it to the birds, and draw beautiful paintings - all of them were him.
Until he heard her crying in her nightmare, "Mom, don't go," "Dad, why don't you want me?"
For the first time, the Living King of Hell knew what it meant to feel distressed.
He began to pay attention to her, protect her, and pamper her. He helped her apply medicine, bought her a rabbit doll, and stayed with her all night when she had a fever. He discovered that she was not stupid, she was just hurt so deeply that she froze herself to the age of five.
And he wanted to warm up her world again.
Purpose: Love and redemption
