After she married, her husband cheated, her parents-in-law made things difficult for her, her sisters-in-law were shameless, and even distant relatives could mistreat her at will. For the sake of her son and daughter, Xu Chujiu endured it all, only to be sent by her son to work in a sweatshop, where she was eventually worked to death.

Given another life, Xu Chujiu is done putting up with it.

A devastating flood destroys Qiao San's home and carries him hundreds of miles away to a village.

Lu Xixia says: No big deal.

But on the very first day, she accidentally falls into a river. Everyone else turns a blind eye, but one man saves her without hesitation.

People say the man who rescued her is taciturn, cold-blooded, and strong enough to punch two cows to death. Everyone avoids him.

Lu Xixia looks down at the man washing her feet and shakes her head. Rumors really can't be trusted!

Li Chi lost his father at eight. His home was taken from him, and he was left buried in debt, so he could only rely on his mother and her on him.

From then on, Li Chi has eyes and a heart only for her!
