The Upward Life of a Sold Foolish Wife

share time: 2025-11-14 12:32:48

Lin Wan was forced to marry the village's "foolish young master" Gu Zhao to pay her father's gambling debts. She thought she'd endure her mother-in-law's刁难 and neighbors' mockery forever, but discovered her "foolish" husband had extreme tenderness—he'd bring her hot ginger tea when she sewed late into the night, and hold her hand saying "Wanwan is good" when she was called a "money-loser" by her sister-in-law. Lin Wan didn't give up: she worked at a town pastry shop during the day to learn skills, taught Gu Zhao to read "Lin Wan" and "Gu Zhao" at night, and turned the shabby Gu house into a warm home. But then, the Gu family's eldest son, who had been missing for ten years, suddenly returned to fight for the family property, and her mother-in-law even wanted to sell her to a fifty-year-old salt merchant for money. Lin Wan touched the osmanthus candy Gu Zhao gave her, looked at the budding rose in the corner of the yard, and said: "I won't just live—I'll make both of us live as people who can smile with our heads held high."
