00:00Just because the girl was mute, her father accepted a $500,000 bride price.
00:04He married her off to a man who was on the verge of death.
00:06In fact, the girl could speak.
00:08She just could not say it, because ever since she was little, she had a special power.
00:12Any wish she made could come true.
00:13Anything she said would become reality.
00:15The price was that the girl had a very hard time expressing her emotions.
00:18No matter how much others blamed her, she could never say what was on her mind.
00:22Over time, the girl no longer wanted to speak.
00:24For that very reason, her parents made her drop out of school and come home to work the fields.
00:28Even for something as important as marriage, her father did not hesitate to sell her off.
00:32The groom was the second young master of the wealthy Lou family.
00:35He was critically ill, so they needed to find a woman whose fate matched his and marry her to bring
00:39him good luck.
00:39The matchmaker praised the Lou family as being richer than any country,
00:42and they were willing to pay a $500,000 bride price.
00:45Her father was overjoyed after hearing that.
00:47He said as long as the Lou family did not mind that the girl was mute, he would marry her
00:51off the next day.
00:52On the day of the wedding, only her second sister had red eyes.
00:55She stuffed a bag of hot buns into the girl's hands.
00:57Sitting in the wedding car, the girl clutched onto this last bit of warmth and cried uncontrollably.
01:02The wedding was held with great grandeur because the groom was too sick to attend in person.
01:06His older brother could only stand in for him and exchange rings.
01:09That was also a way to preserve his last shred of dignity.
01:11After the ceremony, the girl was taken to a luxurious villa.
01:14This was her bridal room.
01:15It was also the cage that trapped her.
01:17The room was filled with cold medical machines.
01:19The man lying on the bed had a pale face.
01:21His breathing was weak and faint.
01:23He was far worse than the rumors had made him sound.
01:25The first thing the man did after opening his eyes left the girl completely stunned.
01:29He said this marriage was not his idea.
01:31It was all arranged by his family.
01:32The purpose was to bring him good luck.
01:34He handed the girl a bank card and told her to leave.
01:37He promised that he would never trouble her family in the future.
01:39The girl simply poured the man a glass of water in silence.
01:42She did not say a word.
01:43That was when the man realized the girl was mute.
01:45The girl nodded calmly.
01:46Then she used sign language to tell him to rest early.
01:49After she settled the man in bed, she stayed by his side and did not leave.
01:52The man was deeply moved.
01:54He promised that even if he did not have much time left, he would arrange the girl's future
01:58properly.
01:58He would not trap her in the Lou family as a widow for the rest of her life.
02:01The girl's heart suddenly trembled when she heard that.
02:03Late at night, hunger hit her.
02:05All she could do was clutch her stomach in pain.
02:07At that moment, the man in the hospital bed struggled to get up.
02:10He slowly made his way to the cabinet.
02:12He brought over a plate of cake and handed it to the girl.
02:14He said gently, you probably did not eat anything at the wedding today.
02:17Have some cake and fill your stomach.
02:19The girl ate the cake in big bites, tears mixed with the cream, and fell down at the
02:22same time.
02:23This was the first time in her life that anyone had treated her so gently.
02:27Looking at this kind-hearted man in front of her, she could not help but say, you will
02:30live a long life.
02:31The man seemed to hear the girl speak just now.
02:33Then he thought about it and figured that could not be possible.
02:36He assumed he had just imagined it.
02:37The girl saw that the man had a kind heart and that he thought of everything for her,
02:41so she could not help but speak and make a wish.
02:43She wanted to build a life with the man, so at least she would not be bullied.
02:46The next day, a servant brought toiletries and told the two of them to go downstairs
02:50for breakfast.
02:51After the girl changed into a dress, she was overjoyed.
02:54She had not bought new clothes in many years.
02:56Just as she was about to go downstairs, the man suddenly called out her name and said he
03:00wanted to go downstairs with her.
03:01The girl was surprised that the man actually knew her name.
