Liu Yuanyuan, a woman from the apocalypse, transmigrates into an old-fashioned romance novel as the universally disliked biological daughter, then is betrothed to the disgraced Crown Prince Chu Yuanche.
The former crown prince was poisoned and left crippled long ago. Imprisoned in an abandoned royal estate and saddled with an adopted son, his future is destined to be bleak.
To everyone’s sympathetic stares, Liu Yuanyuan happily marries him and settles into a peaceful life of rebuilding their home as a family of three: growing vegetables, raising chickens, feeding fish, and having a baby. Just as her handsome husband is gradually moved by her gentleness and virtue and about to agree to have a child with her, some villains have to come and disturb her.
Well, then, it’s time to fight. First, drive the barbarians back home. And you, wicked mother-in-law, where are you running off to?
At the most despairing point in his life, Chu Yuanche is confined and can feel the poison steadily eating away at his body. Soon he will become a helpless wreck, unable to speak, move, or see, at the mercy of anyone who wants to torment him. In the depths of his despair, he wants only to secure a sliver of hope for his adopted son, then take a few people down with him before he dies.
Who could have known that someone would burst into his world, cure his poison, and firmly shield him from harm, wielding a great saber in one hand and an embroidery needle in the other, all while dreaming of having a few chubby babies with him?
Theme: Love takes effort from both people.
