Qiu He was a timid woman.
Even her father thought she would probably never amount to much in life.
At twenty, Qiu He was forced to marry her husband. Not long after the wedding, he was left in a coma for years after a car accident.
Her husband was the eldest son of his family. If he died, most of the wealth and power accumulated in his name would be divided among the main and collateral branches of the family.
And Qiu He was just a cowardly little widow, easy for anyone to push around.
Sure enough, during the years her husband lay unconscious, Qiu He was often seen weeping in front of interview cameras, speaking tearfully about their loving past. People in their circle said she was devoted to him, spending every day by his bedside, unable to eat or sleep, staring at the rising and falling line on his heart monitor and too weak to pull herself together.
If she hadn't remembered the look of irritation her husband often gave her before his accident, and the two extra strokes she'd added to his will in her own favor,
Qiu He might almost have believed that she and her husband truly loved each other beyond measure.
She waited by his bedside, wondering when he would finally die.
She watched his heart monitor, wondering when the line would go flat.
But fate was not on her side. In the fifth year, Qiu He's husband miraculously woke up.
Fortunately, he had lost his memory.
Qiu He seized the opportunity and carefully fabricated a flawless love story. She told her husband that they had once been inseparable, and that he had wanted to give her all his money, all his years, even the whole world.
With media reports and friends and family all backing her up, he believed her.
Later, her husband suddenly regained his memory.
