Chapter 2
Ye Zhen's father was a useless second generation son . Once the Ye family's wealth was passed down to him, it was on its way to being utterly wasted down to nothing . He was selfish and loved to gamble .
After Old Master Lu promised that he would help the Ye family's debt-ridden company if Ye Qing married his grandson, the Ye family prepared to marry off Ye Zhen's older sister, Ye Qing, without reservations .
However, Ye Qing had already fallen deeply in love with the male lead . Once she heard about her parents' arrangement for her, she resolutely ran off with the male lead . She abandoned her life as a daughter from a wealthy family to live an arduous life with a poor young man that had an unblemished integrity .
Although the older sister was gone, the younger sister was still here . Anyways, these sisters looked identical, even their parents couldn't tell them apart, much less members of Lu family . And so, the Ye family married Ye Zhen over without any qualms .
The transmigrated Ye Zhen didn't have a problem being married to a comatose person . But, one year after Lu Beichuan fell unconscious, which was to say that in one month from now, he would wake up .
Perhaps, it was because he had experienced one year of being a comatose person . In the novel, after Lu Beichuan woke up, his personality drastically changed . He dealt with people using unconscionable methods . He treated his wife with contempt . Under the workings of fate, he eventually met Ye Zhen's warm and generous older sister and found out the Ye sisters had switched places .
When he compared the inarticulate and mediocre younger sister to her skillful and efficient older sister, Lu Beichuan felt cheated . And when Lu Beichuan found out that the male lead was his half brother - they had the same father, but different mothers - he went down the villain's path of trying to seize power and his enemy's wife .
Of course, as her older sister's substitute, Ye Zhen naturally didn't have any good days left once Lu Beichuan found out about the truth . The villain used her a substitute for her older sister to vent his frustrations and resentment .
Because of the resentment that had accumulated over the years, Ye Zhen repeatedly flaunted her status as Lu Beichuan's wife in front of her older sister . Later on, she gave birth to Lu Beichuan's son . Of course, because the son grew up in such an environment, his morals weren't very good . Father and son colluded together to do plenty of deceitful, sinister, and crafty schemes . Their high intellect was solely used to commit crimes . For a long time, they amused themselves by tormenting the male lead .
However, a villain's fate couldn't be avoided, and the family eventually suffered the consequences of their actions . After the villain suffered crushing defeat in the hands of the male lead, Ye Zhen, who was the villain's wife, naturally wouldn't be to escape the law's pursuit . She spent the rest of her life in jail .
The novel's Ye Zhen was Ye Zhen, and she was herself . They were two different people . Although she was Lu Beichuan's wife, he was comatose right now . The immense sea allowed the fish to leap freely . The vast sky allowed the birds to fly freely . As long as she figured out a way to leave Lu family within one month, she would be free . After that, she could live out the rest of her life happily .
As for what would happen to Ye family after she left, why should she care?
If they had ability, they should go find Ye Qing and bring her back .
The knocking on the other side of the door interrupted her train of thought .
"Good morning, Miss Ye . " An old butler, who had been serving the Lu family for many years, was respectfully standing right outside the door . A small cart was pushed inside . There were all sorts of tools that were used to clean Lu Beichuan on the cart .
The Lu family had a long history . Not only did their ancestors leave behind an enormous fortune, they also left behind old-fashioned and pedantic rules .
She was Lu Beichuan's wife, so when she woke up every day, her first duty was to clean her husband's body .
Ye Zhen accepted the towel from the butler and dampened it in the basin of warm water, then she pushed aside the quilt that was covering Lu Beichuan . She untied the top part of his pajamas and wiped his arms, shoulders, abdomen, and other areas .
This task had to be done every day, but the Lu family insisted that only she could do it .
