The Mute Bride's Dowry
The Story
Chen Jingsong tears up his college admission letter in the 1990s, surrendering his only chance at education to his wife, Su Xue. After achieving success, Su Xue mocks him as useless and marries into wealth. When they divorce, Jingsong announces he will marry Ke Sisi, the village’s despised mute girl. Sisi supports his startup with a 200,000 yuan dowry, comforts him with hot porridge, and protects him from danger using a broom. Jingsong eventually reclaims his college spot, builds a canned food empire, and constructs a two-story villa. Meanwhile, Su Xue’s family falls into ruin after loan sharks attack them. On the day Sisi finally speaks, she whispers that Jingsong is worth it. She remembers the candy he gave her by the pond fifteen years ago.
