After the marriage broke down: the stepfather could no longer hold back.

After her Mother passed away, Cheng Silin was adopted by the Shen family. In loneliness, she fell in love with her nominal stepfather, Shen Zhengwei. To get rid of the dangerous Xu family and protect Cheng Silin, Shen Zhengwei heartlessly pushed her into an alliance marriage with the He family, making her believe that she was merely his plaything and bargaining chip. After suffering Humiliation, being manipulated, and forced into the intrigues of the wealthy families, Cheng Silin finally resolved to escape. But as she repeatedly faced danger, Shen Zhengwei could no longer suppress his feelings. He tore up the engagement contract himself, revealed all the truths, and declared to the whole world that she was never a taboo—she was the only wife of his life.
