But as soon as the reunion festivities end, they rush to the Qin family's door with the daughter they've just reclaimed, demanding that the families honor the betrothal arranged by their elders.

Her intended is the Qin family's youngest son, a notorious hell-raiser who has been spoiled rotten since childhood.

The night he learns he's to be married off, Young Master Qin runs away.

In the end, he's dragged back and delivered to the bridal chamber, bound hand and foot.

Yu Man grew up in a small town. She lived in drafty houses and waded through icy rivers in thin clothes during winter.

She's tough as nails.

She thinks her life will finally improve after returning to her family, but instead, they treat her like a piece of merchandise and send her away.

On their wedding night, Young Master Qin says with a grim face, "Three rules. This is a marriage of convenience. We'll divorce when the agreement expires."

Yu Man kicks him out of the master bedroom without changing her expression.

Young Master Qin: ?

Never in his life has he suffered such humiliation!

*

On the hundredth day of their marriage, Yu Man is mocked by the Yu family's adopted daughter, who says that even though she's back, she won't get anything, and that marrying Qin Lixing will only end with her being abandoned.

Just then, Young Master Qin pushes open the door with a cigarette between his lips. Through the smoke, he asks, "Are you done talking? I'm here to take my wife home."

Late that night, at the Qin residence, Qin Lixing holds Yu Man, who's just woken from a nightmare, in his arms. His face shows a tenderness and gentleness she's never seen before. "Don't be afraid. I'll protect you."

Yu Man is like a lone traveler wandering through the desert, until one day she finds the oasis that belongs only to her.
