Lin Zhao was a loafer, a loafer well-known in all the surrounding villages.
Relying on the small inheritance her family left her, she spent her days idling away, never doing any honest work.
But one day, all of that changed.
The County Magistrate’s daughter was willing to die just to marry her.
From then on, the loafer could loaf no more. Her inheritance wasn’t enough to support two people.
It was already a struggle to feed herself, but now she had another mouth to feed. Under Chu Xihuan’s constant pressure, Lin Zhao began to work diligently, earning money just to buy food for her wife.
But her wife was so fierce. Not only did Lin Zhao have to listen to her every command, but she was also forbidden from getting too close to certain people.
Hah…
With a wife that fierce, who would dare? And yet, she didn’t seem the least bit afraid that Lin Zhao would get fed up and run away.
Frustrated, Lin Zhao went out for drinks with a friend to drown her sorrows. But the very person who had said that morning she was going back to her parents’ for a few days suddenly appeared, her face as dark as thunder, looking for all the world like the King of Hell himself.
She was Lin Zhao! The infamous loafer of the surrounding villages! How could her wife show her no face in public like this?!
Lin Zhao, being dragged home by the ear in front of everyone: 🙂
So humiliating!
But since they were married, they had to make it work.
Lin Zhao finally managed to save up some secret cash and bought Chu Xihuan a hairpin. Just as she was about to give it to her, full of joy, she saw Chu Xihuan in a tangled argument with another woman.
And she finally understood why Chu Xihuan had married her in the first place.
The hairpin in her hand snapped in two. Lin Zhao turned and walked away, her face devoid of expression.
Three years later, Lin Zhao returned from military service, only to find Chu Xihuan still living in her house with a toddling child. Her world came crashing down.
