Ye Cheng didn’t like Li Chunhua, even though they grew up together almost from childhood.
He liked He Yun, after eting her last winter in the town. She was selling handkerchiefs, and when he passed by, he imdiately fell for that bright and graceful girl.
Then, after much effort, he found out where she lived and insisted his mother go to arrange the marriage.
Unexpectedly, what he thought he was about to gain, vanished into thin air in just a mont.
Half a month later, Ye Cheng married, taking Li Chunhua as his wife, but from that day on, he never touched her.
When he found out Li Chunhua was pregnant, Ye Cheng couldn’t believe it, because since that drunken night, he hadn’t touched her again, but just once, and she was pregnant!
After nine months of marriage, Li gave birth to a daughter and then was infertile for three years.
Only Li and Ye Cheng knew that during those three years, though they lay on the sa bed, they were never together.
Three years also took its toll on He Yun.
With the broken engagent and a bad reputation, for three years, no one ca to the He Family to propose marriage, and He Yun, a highly sought-after sixteen-year-old maiden, beca an old maid at nineteen, enduring gossip from outsiders and disdain from her own family.
Since the broken engagent, He Yun completely fell into the role of a servant girl at ho, not only taking on all household chores but also becoming the family’s punching bag.
At first, He Yun’s mother naturally felt sorry for her daughter, but as ti went by, who could stand having such an old maid in the family? The transition from pity to resentnt took just a mont.
Ye Cheng saw He Yun again when she was about to hang herself in despair.
At that ti, He Yun was overwheld by a comnt from her mother, "If I were you, I’d be too ashad to live, better off hanging myself with a rope," and truly found a rope to commit suicide.
Back then, she thought it was better to die and be reborn than to live like a beast of burden, maybe starting over in a better family.
Ye Cheng was visiting on a whim, wanting to see He Yun, not expecting to stumble upon this scene.
He was thankful he ca, otherwise, wouldn’t this living life be lost?
Looking at the Ye Cheng who saved her, He Yun’s eyes held no gratitude, only coldness, "Why are you here? To see I’m still not miserable enough because of you?"
"I..." Ye Cheng was at a loss for words, blurting out without thinking, "Don’t die, I’ll marry you, okay?"
Perhaps what is unattainable is the best; Ye Cheng never stopped paying attention to He Yun, and he was aware of her current situation, which is why he said this.
He Yun’s emotions didn’t fluctuate; she had reached this point entirely because of him. Saying such things now would hardly make her grateful, "You’ll marry ? If I rember correctly, didn’t you get married half a month after we broke off our engagent? Now, with what will you marry ?"
"I..." Ye Cheng hesitated for a mont but decided to explain clearly, revealing not only that he was manipulated into marrying Li but also that he hasn’t touched Li in the years since.
He Yun didn’t know whether to cry or laugh; crying for being tornted for three years over such a reason, and laughing that Li had sched extensively yet married a man with no feelings for her.
He Yun decided to marry, not because she still had feelings for Ye Cheng, but because her situation would possibly improve after marriage, whereas not marrying would only beco harder as she aged.
He Yun had only one condition; she could even do without the dowry; she just wanted to be the principal wife.
He Yun was a woman who held grudges; she was forced to marry Ye Cheng, also to take revenge on Li Chunhua, who had brought her to such a plight.
Ye Cheng used the reason that Li hadn’t given birth to a son in three years to marry again, initially opposed by Grandma Ye, since Li was her niece.
