Everyone in the village said that Miss Ayuan was the most obedient and sensible girl—if you told her to go west, she would never dare go east.
So, when her eldest brother got into trouble and the family decided to marry the transmigrated Cheng Yuanyue off to an old man notorious for beating his wives to death, she didn’t utter a single word of protest and agreed on the spot.
Since it was death either way, she decided that before dying, she might as well find a handsome man, spend a night with him, and—if lucky—get pregnant in one go.
Then she’d bury the old man, inherit his fortune, and enjoy life on her own.
The plan was foolproof.
Ayuan was very satisfied with herself.
“Don’t bother remembering me. You’re just a passerby in my life.”
The well-behaved girl put on her clothes and acted as if she didn’t know him.
“We’ve already slept together, and you still want to marry that old man? Am I dead to you?”
Afterward, the man gripped her waist tightly and sneered.
On the surface, she was gentle and obedient, but once she struck, she was ruthless.
On the surface, he was cold and merciless, but when it came to his wife, no one could match his devotion.
When the two collided—what kind of sparks would fly?
