In the final years of the Great Qian Dynasty, bullies ran rampant, wars broke out everywhere, and the people lived in utter misery. Chen Jie traveled through time only to find himself a drunken, degenerate gambler with a pair of ill-fated sisters to support. His wife, Su Yunjin, and their five-year-old daughter, Su Yunrui, were his family. The household was so destitute they could barely afford to eat, but just then, his beautiful wife approached him with a smile, carrying a bowl of hot porridge. "Husband, I was wrong yesterday. Please, have some hot porridge." Looking at the bruises on his wife's face, Chen Jie felt that something was terribly wrong. *Ding~* [Daily Intelligence Updated] [1. Yesterday, you gambled away the last three acres of fertile land in the family. In your drunken stupor, you beat Su Yunjin and intended to sell five-year-old Su Yunrui to recoup your losses.] [2. The Su sisters rely solely on each other; Su Yunrui is Su Yunjin's only hope.] [3. Su Yunjin has developed suicidal ideation. Three days ago, she used her late mother's hairpin to purchase a bag of arsenic.] ...Arsenic! Staring at the hot porridge being held to his lips, Chen Jie looked up at his wife. He saw the faint bruises on her face and noticed her eyes flickering away, unable to meet his gaze. "Wife!" "Hmm?" "You didn't... put anything in this, did you?"
