Summary
At twenty, Wu Suowei has already learned that the safest way to survive is to remain quiet, useful and grateful for whatever he is given.
When his family marries him to twenty-five-year-old Chi Cheng for a business alliance, he enters another home where he knows he is unwanted. Chi Cheng sees the schemes of a calculating family hidden behind a soft voice and an innocent face. Wu Suowei sees another person he cannot afford to anger.
But silence can resemble deceit when someone has already decided not to believe you, and cruelty comes easily when the person being hurt never complains.
