She earned a reputation for the Jiang women as capable and virtuous homemakers, paving the way for her younger sisters to marry into prestigious families as official wives. But what did she get in return?

Su Luyun: “……”

She glanced at her extremely handsome husband lying in bed—six foot one, injured in the line of duty, his current vegetative state making him look pitifully tragic. More precisely, she looked at the line of text hovering above his head:

[In this state, I’m guessing she’s going to run.]

According to the plot of her cousin's novel, that was what Su Luyun did.

She ran off with a s*umbag and eloped, only to be cheated out of her money and dignity!

Not long after, she returned home in disgrace, while her vegetative husband had already regained consciousness—and was now riding high in wealth, power, and fortune!

The narrator, in a highly sarcastic tone, said:

“Many thanks to the ex-wife’s generous abandonment. Without her, how could the big boss have come this far?”

Actress Su Luyun, now fully aware of the situation, declared: She would never abandon him.

However, she was an actress—three tears from her could break anyone’s heart.

On the first day.

Su Luyun threw herself over her vegetative husband and sobbed:

“I won’t divorce! I won’t divorce Zhou Changdong! In life I’m his woman, in death I’m his soul!”

On the second day.

Su Luyun held his hand and confessed passionately:

“If mountains crumble and rivers run dry, if thunder strikes in winter and snow falls in summer, if heaven and earth unite—only then will I part from you!”

On the third day.

Su Luyun arranged a kissing scene for the two of them:

“After we got married, we didn’t even get to consummate the marriage. I don’t even know what you taste like… shouldn’t I get a sample?”

Though Zhou Changdong remained unconscious, steam seemed to rise from his head.

When he recovered, he swore to properly make it up to his wife!

Later, when he did recover—Su Luyun was actually scared to look at him!

Had she known this was what he meant by “making it up to her." she would never have teased him so much while he was in a coma! <<less

Later, Shen Jiaojiao was betrayed by a heartless man who cruelly cut off her legs and threw her into a basement, torturing her until she wished for death.

When she was on the brink of death, it was the very man she had personally sent to prison—Xu Mo—who bought her for a staggering price of a million.

Shen Jiaojiao thought that Xu Mo had bought her to humiliate and torment her. However, instead of holding a grudge, he married her and took meticulous care of her.
