Synopsis:
Yu Ting was cheated on.
Her ex-girlfriend, Ran Xue, fell in love with a French woman while abroad and planned to spend the rest of her life with her. However, the Yu and Ran families had already arranged a marriage between Yu Ting and Ran Xue due to significant family ties. To inherit her family's fortune, Yu Ting must not break off the engagement, according to her grandfather's ultimatum.
Ran Ling, Ran Xue's older sister and the eldest daughter of the Ran family, is graceful and delicate, a true beauty from the Jiangnan region. Known for her soft demeanor, she is often secluded due to her inability to speak, appearing fragile and in need of care.
Yu Ting marries Ran Ling, thinking it's an unspoken business arrangement. But once married, Yu Ting realizes how challenging Ran Ling can be.
Ran Ling is gentle, caring for Yu Ting when she's drunk. She is sweet and shy, writing the word "wife" on paper to call Yu Ting her own. However, she is also sensitive. Despite being three years older than Yu Ting, if Yu Ting doesn't reply to her messages quickly, Ran Ling becomes upset, refusing to eat or speak until she's comforted.
When she detects another woman's perfume on Yu Ting, Ran Ling drags her into the bathroom, scrubbing her with her own soap repeatedly, as if trying to imprint her scent onto Yu Ting.
Ran Ling is sensitive, a clean freak, and capricious. One moment she'll promise to behave, but the next, if Yu Ting gets too close to another woman, she'll run away barefoot just to make Yu Ting worry.
Gradually, Yu Ting becomes obsessed with her. Although Ran Ling can't speak, she hums seductively in moments of passion.
When her voice returns, Ran Ling's favorite thing to do is lie on top of Yu Ting and whisper in her ear, "I love you, Ting Ting."
She just wants to keep Ting Ting to herself.
