Chen Qingman woke up one day to find that she had gone from being an 18-year-old college freshman to a 24-year-old trophy wife.
In just six short years, the course of her entire life had changed beyond recognition.
At 18, Chen Qingman had a bright future ahead of her. She was cheerful and outgoing, had close friends, and a budding romance. Though her family was poor, her mother had died young, and her father was frail, she had never complained about life's unfairness.
At 24, Chen Qingman had dropped out of school and was unemployed, depressed and withdrawn. She had no friends or family. Everyone around her treated her like a venomous snake, keeping well away. Her world was so small that all she had was her handsome husband, who was always busy with work. She was like a delicate dodder vine clinging to him.
Her childhood friend, who had grown up with her, looked at her with disgust and refused to have any meaningful conversation with her.
Her gentle, modest senior was as cold as ice and showed her no kindness.
They both gave her the same warning:
"Stay away from Mingyue."
Even her biological parents, whom she had only gained in her 24-year-old life, doted on Shen Mingyue, cherishing her more than a treasure held in the palm of their hands.
Even Qin Sinian, her current legal husband, often defended Shen Mingyue in what he said.
After accepting that she had lost six years of her memories, Chen Qingman began to adjust to her life as a delicate trophy wife six years in the future. Just as she was trying to become self-reliant and make a living on her own,
she returned to being 18.
Her childhood friend was still bickering with her as always, and their relationship was close and natural.
Her senior had carefully planned a grand, romantic confession for her.
And Qin Sinian, her legal husband, was wearing his First High School uniform and getting beaten by a gang of thugs. Bruised and battered, he was alone in a corner, licking his wounds.
He was worlds apart from the powerful, devastatingly handsome business tycoon he would become six years later.
From then on, Chen Qingman began to exist in two timelines at once, searching for the six years of memories she had forgotten.
