Her parents died young. She has a little brother, a younger sister with a serious illness, and a strong, stubborn will.
Lin Chengxin's family fell into ruin. She went from a pampered young lady to a pitiful wretch in everyone's eyes.
She heard that the eldest young master of the Chen family, who never left his house, had already killed two wives. But Lin Chengxin married into the family without a second thought, for the money.
She gained a husband she'd never met and an eight-figure "bride price."
In other people's eyes, she had sold her body, forsaken her soul, lost herself, and become saturated with the stench of dirty money.
She didn't care at all. She just thought they didn't know what the hell they were talking about.
Then she met her gloomy father-in-law, her cold and caustic mother-in-law, her arrogant sister-in-law, and her weak, useless brother-in-law. The entire lavish old mansion was more sinister than ever.
The strangest of all was her husband, who was neither man nor ghost. His eyes were dark and cold, lifeless as a monster crawling out of a deep well.
But Lin Chengxin took a deep breath, rolled up her sleeves, and set her jaw.
Let's do this!
Only in the end did she learn that her husband, who had lived like a monster, was the truly pitiful one.
Optimistic, resilient heroine × beautiful, strong, tragic hero

On their wedding day, Bei Jinzhao hit her head and became convinced that there was something off about her new husband. One day she thought he was a bandit, the next a highwayman. Even though he was handsome and had a great figure, she firmly resisted temptation because she had a "first love" she'd secretly cherished for years.
On the day Bei Jinzhao "poisoned" him, You Tingshan drank a cup of coffee with salt in it. On the day Bei Jinzhao rigged a trap to "murder" him, You Tingshan came home from work and dutifully cleaned up the mess, then put on an apron and cooked her dinner.
After she'd kept this up for a while, one day Bei Jinzhao appeared with red eyes and said she wanted to die with You Tingshan.
It turned out she thought she was two-timing him. She still had her "first love" in her heart, but had now fallen for her cheap husband. Unable to control her feelings, she was miserable, regretful, and heartbroken. So she put on "crane's crown red" and planned to die with You Tingshan!
After their first kiss, Bei Jinzhao smacked her lips and leaned in for a second. The more she kissed him, the more miserable she felt.
This man's lips were damn sweet!
Just as she was mourning her "fickle heart," Bei Jinzhao suddenly saw a photo of herself in diapers, sitting on her first love's lap.
Her cheap husband raised an eyebrow beside her and said, "Don't remember? I held you when you were little."
Bei Jinzhao: "..."

Awesome author! So well written!! [Purple candy] kswl [orange candy] is here
The capitalized bg for "get rich" is also very nice~
The male protagonist is so pitiful and actually not very good either.
