Quick Wear: Dote on Wife Like Life

Gu Yin transmigrates into the body of a spoiled second young master from the wealthy Gu family, inheriting a disastrous reputation and a doomed arranged marriage. The original host was a hedonistic playboy who rejected his fiancée, Nan Ming, a cold and capable female CEO. In the original timeline, the host’s incompetence and infidelity led to Nan Ming’s death from overwork and their daughter’s early demise. Tasked with a protection mission by a mysterious system, Gu Yin decides to rewrite the narrative. He approaches Nan Ming with a surprisingly gentle and sincere demeanor, proposing they date to understand each other better before proceeding with the marriage alliance. His genuine interest and professional design skills, which he had previously hidden, quickly impress Nan Ming and her employees at the Nan Corporation.

Gu Yin moves into Nan Ming’s apartment, establishing a domestic partnership that gradually softens her guarded heart. He supports her career, contributing innovative designs that help the company launch successful collections and break sales records. Their relationship deepens through shared experiences, including a heartfelt birthday celebration where Gu Yin reveals he had secretly learned about her painful family history—her mother’s death and her father’s infidelity. He offers her emotional stability and respect, qualities she had never experienced. Despite initial resistance from Gu Yin’s father, who regrets the marriage alliance, and skepticism from his older brother Gu Jie, who suspects Gu Yin’s true intentions, the couple remains steadfast. Gu Yin confronts and neutralizes Jiang Shijie, a vengeful rival from a bankrupt family who had planned to sabotage the union using the original host’s rumored homosexuality.

The narrative shifts as Gu Yin completes his mission with Nan Ming, only to be transported to a new scenario. He now inhabits the body of Gu Zhaodi’s brother, a man from a poor, patriarchal rural family. His mother and sisters are victims of severe gender bias, with his eldest sister, Gu Zhaodi, forced into an abusive marriage to fund his education, and his younger sister, Gu Lingyun, pressured to drop out of school to work. Gu Yin’s wife, Bai Yue, is a talented surgeon whose career is on the verge of destruction due to the original host’s cowardice and manipulation. The original plot involves the host pushing Bai Yue into danger, causing her to lose the use of her hand, and subsequently forcing her into a loveless marriage where she suffers until mutual death.

Gu Yin immediately intervenes to protect Bai Yue and rescue his sisters. He handles his mother’s visit with strategic diplomacy, preventing the family from exploiting Bai Yue’s home while securing a future for his sisters. He encourages Gu Lingyun to pursue higher education and helps Gu Zhaodi plan her divorce from her abusive husband. By establishing a small business for his family and supporting Bai Yue’s career, Gu Yin aims to dismantle the toxic dynamics of his new family. The story highlights his consistent effort to correct the mistakes of his previous hosts, prioritizing the well-being and autonomy of the women around him against entrenched societal and familial pressures.
