[’80s + Double Purity + Domestic Life + Male Lead: Xiao Liye]

Jiang Yuning had been married to Jiang Zhiming for over a year when he told her he only saw her as a sister. Unable to get past that barrier in his heart, they never shared a bed. When months passed without a pregnancy, her mother began pressing her to have a child—only for Jiang Zhiming to vanish overnight.

From that day on, Jiang Yuning bore the shameful title of the barren widow who married the brother she’d grown up with and drove him to his death. Her parents, leveraging the “life-saving grace” they once gave, forced her into marrying Xiao Liye.

At first, when Xiao Liye learned that his father had arranged for him to marry a widow without his consent, he was so furious he didn’t even spend the wedding night at home—and smashed up the house instead.

“She’s been married less than two years and her man’s already dead. Who knows if she’s cursed?” he scoffed.
