A Terrible Start: I’m a ’90S Wife Sold Off to Repay a Debt

Fashion designer Lin Zhixia wakes up one day having transmigrated back to the 1990s. From the start, her debt-ridden father forces her to marry Fu Yunshen, the Fu family's disowned heir, rumored to be “deaf, mute, and disabled,” to pay off his debts. On their wedding night, Lin Zhixia looks at her impossibly handsome husband. She trembles on the outside, but screams inwardly: “Holy crap! He's so handsome, but too bad he's deaf! Still, being deaf is great. He won't have to hear any of my fake-sweet talk. As long as I act well, the whole inheritance will be mine!” Fu Yunshen has pretended to be deaf and mute for years, lying low. Suddenly, he hears his new wife's completely shameless inner thoughts. The corner of his mouth twitches, his gaze unreadable. “The inheritance? Go ahead and try.” Later, Lin Zhixia makes it big in this golden age, designing clothes and opening factories. Whenever she runs into awful relatives or business rivals, she smiles sweetly on the outside, while thinking, “I'll crush every last one of you losers!” Fu Yunshen quietly listens from beside her, then turns around and helps her bring her rivals down. Until one day, Lin Zhixia thinks, “I've made enough money. Time to dump this deaf husband and find myself a hot young guy.” That night, Fu Yunshen pins her against the wall, his voice low and magnetic. “Dump me? Go ahead and try.”
