The Empty Bridal Chamber
For the sake of her family's dying company, Lin Wanmeng was forced to marry Ye Lingxiao, a man in a vegetative state.
It was a solo wedding, after which she found that her boyfriend, Shen Yusong, was sleeping with her best friend.
She gritted her teeth and decided to use her new status as Mrs. Ye to punish those scum! Throwing herself in front of Ye Lingxiao's, she bawled, "Oh, my husband... Don't worry. I will take care of you so that you recover soon! Sob..."
The Ye family sighed.
"We've picked the right girl. She just might be Lingxiao's lucky star!"
"What a fine child! You will have played the most important role if he recovers!"
"Yes, this is the right wife for my son. Shame he's so unfortunate in life!"
Although Lin Wanmeng lay motionlessly in bed, he thought then that she was quite the actress, so he pinned her underneath himself and went for it.
Later, rumors swirled everywhere that the persistently praised daughter-in-law of the Ye Family was pregnant with a bastard soon after her belly started to bulge.
When the Ye family came with a bone to pick, Ye Lingxiao descended upon them, tenderly caressing her belly as he spoke words that left everyone shaking in their boots: "Call my son a bastard again, and I will tear your tongue out."
As Shen Yusong saw Lin Wanmeng becoming more reliant on Ye Lingxiao by the day, he broke down and slapped himself across the face. "Oh, Wanmeng! I was wrong! The one I love has always been you! Let's elope!
"Really? You're getting gutsier by the day, teasing your aunt now too!"
Ye Lingxiao strode towards them and kicked Shen Yusong away before grabbing Lin Wanmeng by the chin and kissing her.
She was sobbing as she wrapped her hands around his neck, complaining, "Oh, darling... If you were a second later, you would have lost your wife and son..."
