Jiang Wan spent three years in a loveless marriage to Sheng Lianjue, the cold and powerful heir of the Sheng family, while he openly favored Jiang Lan, his childhood sweetheart and business partner. Jiang Wan, originally abducted as a child and later reunited with her biological Jiang family, felt like an outsider in both households. On their third wedding anniversary, she suffered a miscarriage after a fall and was left alone in the hospital when Sheng Lianjue chose to stay with Jiang Lan in Xishuangbanna. Heartbroken and physically devastated, Jiang Wan decided to end the marriage.
Upon waking from surgery, Jiang Wan discovered the Sheng family had been unaware of her accident for weeks. Her mother-in-law, Qiu Meilan, visited only to insult her and demand she leave, while Jiang Wan’s own biological mother, Yao Jinghe, pressured her to endure the neglect for the sake of family reputation. Jiang Wan’s only ally was her adoptive brother, Zong Wangchuan, a humble farmer who rushed to her side and paid her medical bills with his life savings. After recovering, Jiang Wan went to the Sheng ancestral home and knelt in the rain to beg Grandma Sheng for a divorce, ultimately succeeding when the matriarch agreed to the separation.
Sheng Lianjue returned from his trip to find Jiang Wan gone and the divorce papers signed. Initially believing she was playing another game to gain his attention, he refused to honor the agreement and instead retaliated against her adoptive family. He orchestrated the seizure of Zong Wangchuan’s factory and had him arrested on fabricated charges, forcing Jiang Wan to return to the capital to negotiate. When she arrived at the hospital where Sheng Lianjue was being treated, she found Jiang Lan caring for him intimately, which further solidified her resolve to leave.
Sheng Lianjue demanded Jiang Wan kneel in the rain as punishment for her defiance. During this ordeal, she collapsed from exhaustion and illness, only to be rescued by Dr. Xu Shu, a gentle physician who had treated her previously. Jiang Wan was taken to the hospital by Dr. Xu, where she encountered her biological mother, who urged her to reconcile for the family’s image. Jiang Wan refused, choosing instead to return to her adoptive family in Wuchuan. However, Sheng Lianjue’s retaliation continued, leading to Zong Wangchuan’s arrest and subsequent cancer diagnosis, leaving Jiang Wan desperate to save her brother.
The story follows Jiang Wan’s struggle to escape a toxic marriage while facing systemic oppression from both her husband’s powerful family and her own neglectful biological relatives. As Sheng Lianjue begins to realize the depth of his loss and the severity of his actions, the narrative explores the consequences of emotional abuse and the difficult path toward independence and healing for Jiang Wan.
