At nineteen, Li Zaiyang (Li Ji'en) was full of hope and getting ready to go to college when disaster struck without warning.
His older brother was getting married, but the family couldn't afford the bride price. Li Zaiyang became the sacrifice: his parents sold him off in an arranged marriage to secure a bride for his brother.
Determined to secure a bright future for himself, Li Zaiyang ran all over the place trying to find a way out. But no matter how hard he tried, no one would help. The only person who answered his call looked perfectly respectable, but his thought process was bizarre. The first thing out of his mouth was "Wifey." Li Zaiyang gritted his teeth and put up with it, figuring the man was at least somewhat useful.
He put up with it for a while.
Once the man was no longer useful, Li Zaiyang took off the gold ring, packed a small bag, and fled in the middle of the night, saying a final goodbye to that crazy man and this godforsaken place.
He thought his future was finally looking bright. Then, one sunny day, as he walked down the street beneath the smiling flowers, Li Zaiyang saw that deranged, perverted, damnable man again.
The man stared at him, approaching step by step with a chilling smile.
He said he had come to find his wifey.
