In his previous life, Lin Jing was disfigured and left with a limp after rescuing his older brother and sister-in-law from a fire.
Instead of being grateful, they treated him like a workhorse and ordered him around.
After his face was ruined, Lin Jing knew he had no hope of ever marrying. He hoped that one day, when he was old, his nephew would support him, so he worked tirelessly to provide for his brother, sister-in-law, and their family.
Later, after his nephew passed the provincial examinations and became an official, he took Lin Jing to his post and tricked him into posing as a servant to lend the Lin family an air of respectability.
Everyone knew that the Lin family had a hideous, disabled servant who was remarkably skilled and utterly loyal. He protected the whole family without fail and learned all sorts of trades, earning plenty of money for them to spend as they pleased.
Unfortunately, the family was never satisfied. They thought the county magistrate’s salary was too low and that Lin Jing didn’t earn enough, so they set out on the road to extorting the people and lining their own pockets.
After failing to persuade his brother, sister-in-law, and nephew to change their ways, Lin Jing refused to join in their crimes and decided to separate from them and return to his hometown.
He wanted none of the money or property. All he asked for was his freedom.
But only then did he discover that the heartless family had once sweet-talked him into letting them keep his identity token, and used it to register him as a slave.
Now they held his contract and refused to release him, tormenting him in every way they could.
In the end, Lin Jing set fire to the magistrate’s residence, where the rich feasted while the poor starved, and died together with the family of dogs who had ruined his life.
Reborn, he watched coldly as his brother and sister-in-law struggled in the fire. Even his nephew’s heartrending sobs left him unmoved.
Once it was over, Lin Jing severed ties with that family of ungrateful wretches.
Then he spent the last few taels of silver he had on a badly injured, disfigured woman from a matchmaker’s agency, taking her up the mountain to become a hunter.
His wife was tall and long-legged. Once the injuries on her face healed, she was as beautiful as a flower. Apart from being half a head taller than him and mute, there was nothing wrong with her.
They lived a wonderful life together: he hunted, she made clothes, and their sweet, loving days made everyone around them envious.
But what outsiders didn’t know was that his wife was so charming and beautiful in every way, yet when she took off her trousers, she was even bigger than he was!
He’d bought his wife himself, so he couldn’t return her. He’d have to swallow it, tears and all. The wife he’d bought couldn’t be returned, so he’d have to swallow it, tears and all.
