Blurb:

Ye Jiang, sent to the countryside for reeducation, slipped and fell into a river. Mu Liancheng, who had returned home to visit his family, pulled her out.

That same day, her parents came to take her back to the city. Thinking she had thrown herself into the river rather than marry Guo Yang, they rejected the Guo family's marriage proposal.

But Ye Jiang still ended up in Guo Yang's hands, tied up and carried into the bridal chamber.

That night, she kicked Guo Yang so hard he was left impotent. The Guo family also broke one of her legs, leaving her unable to have children for the rest of her life.

Later, her parents regained their professorial honors and came to fetch her. Ye Jiang, limping, divorced Guo Yang.

She became a teacher at a school in City C. By then, Mu Liancheng had brought his three children to City C to join him at his army post, and she happened to be the homeroom teacher for all three.

Her uncle arranged her marriage to Mu Liancheng, a man whose life had been full of hardships. He used all his strength to protect her for five years.

After he died, Mu Liancheng's three children cared for her in her old age and saw her off at the end of her life.

The eldest, Mu Xiangnan, was steady and reserved, yet he ended up badly injuring someone. That year, he sent word through a messenger that his greatest regret in life was not being able to be at Ye Jiang's bedside and see her off.

The second said his greatest regret was not meeting her, his stepmother, sooner. As for the third... that pretty, timid girl who loved to eat said the happiest thing in her life was the first filling meal her stepmother gave her.

Reborn after falling into the river, Ye Jiang clutched the coat still warm from a man's body.

This time, she wouldn't waste years going around in circles and missing her chance. She would marry Mu Liancheng now and become stepmother to those three little rascals.
