Translator:
Li Miaomiao transmigrated into the body of the original heroine - a woman who had been abandoned by her groom on their wedding day, lost her mind, and in a fit of madness married Xiao Xian, a guest who had only come to attend the wedding banquet.
.
The very next day, the original host made a scene about going back to become the groom's concubine, fell into the river, and died.
.
The guests all laughed. A cripple with useless legs, handsome as he might be, and so poor his house had nothing but bare walls - even a discarded bride couldn't be kept by such a waste.
.
Everyone waited for her to wake up and go mad again, tormenting Xiao Xian.
.
Unexpectedly, she picked up a toolbox and became a little carpenter instead, pampering her gentle, jade-like lame husband as if raising him with tender care.
.
Li Miaomiao declared that being a carpenter was great - walking through streets and alleys, she might even run into someone who could seal a throat with a single strike of the sword... her husband?
.
She immediately turned to run, only to be carried back home over someone's shoulder.
.
After a night of tossing and turning, that certain someone chuckled and asked, "Wife, are my legs better now?"

*****
Haley Rosamond is happy with her simple life, content under the wing of her father. Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars. That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.
