Shi Jiao had a dream. In it, she was merely a spiteful supporting character in a book who fell in love with the male lead.
She not only used her husband's money to win over the male lead's mother and younger brother, but also kept trying to sabotage the relationship between the male and female leads.
Just to compete with the female lead, she tried learning to make clothes, even though she clearly wasn't cut out to be a seamstress.
In the end, Shi Jiao's attempt to seduce the male lead was exposed, and everyone in the residential compound despised her.
Unable to bear the gossip, Shi Jiao went south to seek her fortune, determined to make something of herself and redeem her reputation. Instead, she was swindled and ended up begging on the street. As fate would have it, the male and female leads saw her, and she eventually died by suicide out of shame.
When Shi Jiao woke up, she scoffed at the dream. She did like Shen Yuan, but she'd never do something as immoral as seducing a married man. Then she lowered her head and saw the bloody hole in her hand where the sewing machine had pierced it...
Shi Jiao could hardly believe it. Then her son, clinging timidly to the doorframe and asking for food, dealt her a devastating blow of reality!
Shi Jiao hugged her starving, painfully thin son and vowed to stay away from the male and female leads and take good care of him. As for that man who barely speaks and only puts in effort in bed, he can get lost for all she cares!
Xu Kangping has just returned from a trip, ready to see his wife and child, when his wife unilaterally divorces him. He grits his teeth. "You really are asking for a lesson!"
