As someone who transmigrated into a book after dying from overwork, Dong Qing quickly accepted her fate as a replacement bride. It was fine that her husband was a disabled villain, and fine that he didn't love her. As long as she was alive, nothing else mattered much.
Happily enjoying her new life, Dong Qing settled into a luxurious mansion and accepted a perfect husband who gave her money on time every month and never bothered her.
Sleeping until she woke naturally, eating and drinking whatever she liked, and playing to her heart's content, Dong Qing finally experienced the joy of being alive.

The domineering CEO Huo Ji was physically disabled and had a violent temper. After his fiancee's family pulled a fast one on him, he married the Fang family's adopted daughter, whose reputation was poor.
Rumor had it that Dong Qing was good for nothing but her looks.
After marrying her, Huo Ji prepared for her to make a scene. To keep the peace, he planned to give her money and have her move out once he'd dealt with their elders.
But as the days passed, Dong Qing remained quiet and well-behaved. She hadn't entered his study, asked him for money, or cheated on him. It wasn't normal. Just as he began to suspect something, Dong Qing made her move.
She gave her father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as her adoptive parents, a piece of her mind. After offending the older generation, she grabbed a weapon and beat up the younger ones. Stunned, Huo Ji instinctively stepped in to clean up his wife's mess.
Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence. As they interacted again and again, Huo Ji realized Dong Qing seemed different from what he'd thought. When his concern turned to love and grew wildly out of control, Huo Ji no longer wanted to let her go.
A tie wrapped around her wrist, pain-relief patches concealing her hickeys, and a specially installed seat belt on her wheelchair: Huo Ji went to great lengths to make sure Dong Qing had eyes only for him.

In reality, on her first day at work, Chen Qian was counseling Granny Chen, who'd gotten into a fight with her husband.
"It's so cold, and he only lasted two minutes. Was I wrong not to take off my long johns? He's old enough to know better. He deserves a beating!"
"Yes, yes... Oh, no, that's not what I meant. Well, a harmonious family brings prosperity. It's cold, so please drink some hot water."
On her second day at work, Chen Qian received a report that someone was under the caller's bed, and they suspected a break-in.
