Gu Chenfeng was originally the Eternal Celestial Emperor of the Divine Realm. To break through the shackles of the Saint, he practiced the Nine Revolutions of Reincarnation, living through nine lives of reincarnation just to achieve the sanctification of the nine revolutions.However, in the ninth life of reincarnation, Gu Chenfeng lost the memory of being the Celestial Emperor. He was expelled from his Sect for cutting off the arms of the Young Master of the Martial King's Mansion and crippled by the Martial King's Mansion's experts, who destroyed his Sea of Qi and broke his meridians.“Gu Chenfeng, you waste, you may leave. Live well, your nightmare has just begun.”“The humiliation of today, I will return tenfold in the future!”

The once rich girl Shen Hanxing lost her mother when she was born. She was then dumped overseas by her own father when she was little to her own devices.Nineteen years later, her father personally took her home from overseas, and the reason was to replace her younger sister to marry her fiancé Ji Yan, who had lost his legs’ senses after a car accident.Father: “Know your place. You’re already marrying above your station when you marry Ji Yan with your status.” Younger Sister: “Thank you for willing to sacrifice yourself for my love~” Shen Hanxing smiled faintly: “Agree to my two conditions, and I’ll gladly marry him.”Afterward, she stepped into the Ji family’s home with empty luggage. The man in the wheelchair angrily roared at her in the dark room. “Scram!”Shen Hanxing quickly switched on the light, pulled open the curtain, and extended his hand towards the man with the light behind her. “Hello. Let me introduce myself. I’m your wife, Shen Hanxing.”When he saw her the first time, he treated her coldly. And then, he treasured her. Ji Yan looked at this woman that suddenly barged into her life. She used her strength to tame his wild and brash younger brother.She patiently and compassionately healed his fearful and introverted younger sister. She used everything she had to slowly support this cold family…And then, Shen Hanxing fell into a trap. Before she drifted into darkness, she saw the man that was supposed to be in the wheelchair running towards her in anxiety.When she woke up again, the man pointed at the washing board, the keyboard, and the durian and asked, “Hanxing, which one do you want me to kneel on?”
