CompletedLin Qing had a terrifying dream where she was a frail sister-in-law whose marriage was stolen by her niece, born the same year.
In the dream, the niece, afraid that Lin Qing might try to reclaim her fiancé, flaunted her relationship with the stolen man every day until Lin Qing eventually died of anger.
Startled awake, Lin Qing was horrified. How could anyone dream of such a vicious scenario? “Take the man if you want him! Why kill me over it?”
She thought it was just a nightmare, but reality soon caught up. Her mother suddenly announced plans for a "great match" for her. Then, just before the arranged meeting, her niece created a dramatic scene.
Turns out, the nightmare wasn’t a dream—it was real.
Already physically weak, Lin Qing was so frightened that she ended up hospitalized.
At the hospital, she met Cen Xi, a newly arrived engineer at the machinery factory. As fellow patients, they hit it off instantly. Coincidentally, both were being pressured into marriage. The two decided to get married on a whim.
After their wedding, the couple moved into the housing provided by the factory—a bustling courtyard with several families. To her dismay, Lin Qing realized her niece and the man she married also lived there. What a twist of fate!
Thus began Lin Qing's comedic journey as she navigated life in the courtyard while observing all the drama unfold around her.
