Wen Ying was an orphan taken in by the Yu family. To repay their kindness, she offered herself in marriage.
But shortly before the wedding, her fiancé suddenly left for another city and didn't send a word for two years.
She made a living rowing a boat on her own, while also having to deal with the Yu family and local thugs. Life was hard.
Then one day, a bully forcibly abducted her. On the night of the wedding ceremony, she escaped.
As rain poured down, the cold, rushing river nearly swept her away. Someone appeared out of nowhere and saved her, but it wasn't the fiancé she had been longing for.

Wen Ying felt that her fiancé's apprentice had been acting strangely lately.
Ever since they reunited in the rain that day, he had stayed by her side, saying he would wait with her for his master to return.
At first, Wen Ying was happy. Not only did she have a familiar person by her side, but her little apprentice had grown up to be considerate and sensible.
But gradually, she realized he wasn't like he used to be.
For example, he would always sneak glances at her when he thought she wasn't paying attention. There was something strange in his eyes, something she couldn't understand. He also often called her "Big Sister" instead of "Little Master's Wife."

That rainy night, Wen Ying didn't see her fiancé, who should have returned as promised.
All she got was terrible news brought back by her little apprentice. From then on, she and the boy depended on each other.
One day, Wen Ying was ambushed and accidentally poisoned with a love potion.
When she came to her senses, she looked at the mess in the room and the bewildered, innocent-looking boy at the foot of the bed. She wanted to slap herself twice.
"I know you had no choice, Big Sister." The boy's eyes shimmered with tears. "I don't need you to take responsibility. Just pretend... just pretend a dog bit you!"
