Chapter 273: A Conspiracy and a Dream

Translator: LonelytreeEditor: Millman97

If one had to sum up Xia Meng's life with a single word, it was misery.

When she was 13, her father disappeared, leaving Xia Meng and her mother to fend for themselves. A single mother with a young, teenage girl, life was not kind towards them.

Regrettably, things didn't take a turn for the better; her mother passed away in a car accident soon after.

She'd lost both her parents before she'd even reached the legal drinking age. Before she met Ye Shen, she depended on her relatives' kindness to survive and those instances of kindness were few and far between.

She was given a temporary reprieve when she met Ye Shen in university. He pursued her with full force and treated her like she was the queen of his world.

Xia Meng thought her luck was going to change then. She believed in Ye Shen's love for her.

She thought she could rely on him for support when he proposed.

Alas, how wrong she was!

The only reason Ye Shen married her was to con out of her hands the things left behind by her father.

Initially, Xia Meng had no idea this was his plan all along because he gently persuaded her to lend them to him because he had never seen them before and he was interested.

She kept on rejecting him. Eventually, he lost his patience and his methods became harsher.

When he laid his hands on her for the first time, she finally realized it was all a conspiracy!

Ye Shen was never in love with her. After the façade was dropped, his disdain towards her was revealed. In fact, the whole Ye Family looked down on her.

When she found out the truth, Xia Meng had something akin to a mental breakdown but that only hardened her resolve. This lead to more abuse at Ye Shen's hands.

Ye Shen stopped treating her like his wife. He would abuse her whenever he felt like it, she was more like a sandbag than an actual person.
