She was manipulated by her boyfriend and then pressured by her stepmother to marry the rumored ailing young master of the Gu family in her place. "I'll cure your illness, don't hold it against me that this is a substitute marriage," he said. "Deal," she agreed, secretly pleased to strike a bargain, unaware that she was falling into the trap he had set for her. It wasn't until one day when she began to vomit uncontrollably and decided to quietly terminate the pregnancy at the hospital that he intervened in time. "Wife, this is my child. When you make a decision, you should at least inform me," he said. Angry, she retorted, "So it's you! Aren't you supposed to like men? You lied to me!" He smirked, "Rumors are unreliable! It has always been you that I love." He was decisive in all matters except his growing affection for her, becoming addicted to spoiling her and indulging her in her vendettas against scumbags and mistreated animals.
