Summary of the Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities
So now she's got this crazy stepsister situation – one died tragically three months ago. Feeling desperate or just really confused? Who knows. She agrees to marry Chu Lui anyway. He’s supposed to be her future brother-in-law through this twisted arrangement.
And honestly? The whole world thinks she did *this**, the new "bride," deliberately causing her stepsister's death, just so she could trap him into marriage with her. Even her own mother gets in on the judgmental act, basically disowning her publicly and saying cruel things.
Then comes the wedding day. Her groom walks up, this powerful guy behind the Chu Enterprise empire, and tells her flat out: "No kiss." And maybe a little *more* than that – disgust laced through his words. The cameras are everywhere, catching every awkward second of her supposed shame.
He shames her right back, calling her by name in front of everyone – “Xia Ruoxin, you went this far just for me?” He basically declares she'll regret it and promises to make her life miserable.
And boy does he deliver. Her existence becomes a living nightmare. Betrayed constantly on all sides, especially when his business demands she be with other men during meetings or events. People whisper about the vicious daughter, the one who caused the death... it’s exhausting.
He even goes so far as to publicly denounce her for something else he cares about, sending her out with a whole gaggle of *other* guys just to prove his point and scrub the slate clean in their eyes? It's brutal. Then, after that humiliation peaks, maybe years later? He remarries spectacularly while she’s still stuck in this living hell.
Wait... during one of those public outings designed to ruin her reputation, or even earlier, it gets twisted again somehow, leading to a forced pregnancy and a scary situation ending with her giving birth alone somewhere cold. A girl, they say. Trapped in the shadows, maybe wondering if *this* is what she meant when he talked about making things right? Or if "right" ever was an option for them. The whole confusing web of events surrounding Xia Ruoxin and Chu Lui gets tangled even more deeply.
