Annotation
Jennifer Sullivan, was falsely imprisoned for three years and during that time gave birth to a son named Lil Sam. Upon her release, Jennifer thought she could lead a normal life with her son, but her parents, driven by their daughter's future, forced her to marry Quentin Tyler, a stranger from the Tyler family whom they deemed to be a fool. Eventually, she agreed to this marriage, hoping to find ways to strengthen herself within the Tyler family, regain custody of Lil Sam, and ultimately bring to justice those who had framed her and led to her imprisonment, thus finding her own happiness. Quentin Tyler, in his quest to find his mother's killer, willingly portrayed himself as a fool and endured humiliation within the Tyler Family to collect evidence against the murderer and seek revenge. Both individuals bear significant missions of revenge, yet fate unexpectedly brings them together as husband and wife. Can they fulfill their missions completely? Let's wait and see.

Chapter 1: Bound by Fate
"Will you marry or not?" Edward Anderson's voice was chillingly indifferent.
"I won't marry!"
In the grand hall of The Anderson Family's mansion, Jennifer's voice echoed loudly.
"Jennifer Sullivan, I'm telling you, marrying into The Tyler Family for Emmy's sake is not up for debate," commanded her father, Edward Anderson, with unwavering resolve.
"Jennifer, just agree to marry into The Tyler Family for Emmy's sake. You know Quentin Tyler is a fool. If Emmy marries a fool, what kind of life will she have?" Jennifer's mother, Linda Anderson, stepped in, urging her.
Her brother, Ethan Anderson, lounged on the off-white leather sofa in the hall, impatiently adding, "Mom, Dad, why waste time talking to her? Just tie her up and marry her off to The Tyler Family. With her rustic background, marrying into The Tyler Family for Emmy is already her stroke of luck."
As Jennifer listened to the synchronized voices of her family, she felt a chill run through her veins.
"Emmy, Emmy, How dear name you are calling. Do you all favor Emily this much? Have you forgotten that I am your biological daughter? Emily is just an adopted daughter? Have you forgotten that if it weren't for Emily, who was deliberately swapped by her biological parents, I would be the heiress of The Anderson Family, and Emily would be the 'rustic' one you refer to?"
Yes, she, Jennifer Sullivan, was the biological daughter of The Anderson Family.
Jennifer only discovered during her university years, after spending eighteen years as an orphan in the countryside, that she was not an orphan after all.
She had biological parents, but she had been deliberately switched at birth by a rural couple and abandoned at an orphanage.
When that rural couple tragically died in a car accident when she turned eighteen, the police, in investigating their identities, stumbled upon the secret of the deliberate switch, leading them to Jennifer and her biological parents, The Anderson Family.
She was then recognized by The Anderson Family, while Emily Anderson, due to the death of her biological parents in the accident and the emotional bond formed with The Anderson Family, remained with them.
Perhaps all those who had been orphans longed for familial affection?
Upon learning that she would be returned to The Anderson Family, Jennifer had been filled with hope for a happy life with her parents and brother. She had even sincerely regarded Emily Anderson as her own sister, believing Emily to be innocent and not to blame for the switch orchestrated by her biological parents.
However, she never expected that upon her return to The Anderson Family, her father would consider her uncultured due to her rural background. He not only failed to change her surname but also kept her with the surname 'Gu,' the name given to her at the orphanage. Moreover, he never publicly acknowledged her as a daughter of The Anderson Family, continuing to treat Emily Anderson as his biological daughter.
Her mother constantly urged her to accommodate Emily, arguing that Emily had lost her biological parents and deserved kindness. All the sacrifices were borne by Jennifer, the biological daughter.
Her biological brother, on the other hand, constantly berated her as a rustic, accusing her of stealing the identity of The Anderson Family's biological daughter and portraying her as the worst person in the world.
As for Emily, the sister who had usurped her identity for eighteen years, in order to maintain her position in The Anderson Family by achieving excellent academic performance, fulfilling her sister's vanity, and permanently occupying an important position in The Anderson Family's heart...
Emily had schemed to deceive her into accompanying her thesis advisor, resulting in her pregnancy, involvement in a homicide, and ultimately, three years in prison on a manslaughter charge.
One year of suffering and three years of imprisonment had erased all of Jennifer Sullivan's foolish hopes for familial affection.
Now, having been released from prison, Jennifer Sullivan only wanted to leave, far away from The Anderson Family.
Yet, The Anderson Family's cruelty once again crossed the line. They actually wanted her to replace Emily Anderson and marry a fool.
"I won't marry a fool for Emmy's sake. Don't come looking for me again. I have completely severed ties with The Anderson Family!"
Jennifer Sullivan said coldly, no longer the naive girl who once craved parental approval and disregarded everything else.
"Madam, bring the child down," Edward Anderson ordered calmly but his face contorted in a sudden grimace.
Jennifer felt a sense of foreboding as she heard footsteps descending the stairs the next moment.
Thud! Thud!
Looking up, Jennifer saw Emily Anderson, with her striking features and typical oxygen-beauty aura, descending the stairs with a two-year-old boy in her arms.
"Lil Sam!" Jennifer's heart skipped a beat as she called out her son's nickname.
Though the child's eyes were closed, he seemed asleep. However, upon hearing his mother's voice, he immediately opened his eyes and joyfully exclaimed, "Mommy! Mommy!"
Jennifer's fists clenched tightly as she glared at Emily. "Give my child back!"
But Emily held onto the child tightly, smiling. "You, a murderer, don't deserve to raise a child. Dad has applied to the court to become this child's legal guardian as a grandfather. You no longer have the right to raise him."
"Mommy! I want Mommy!" Lil Sam desperately tried to break free from Emily's grasp and reach his mother's embrace.
Emily tightened her grip on Lil Sam, not allowing him to go to his mother.
Lil Sam burst into tears, kicking and biting Emily's arm viciously.
Emily winced in pain and loosened her grip, almost causing Lil Sam to fall onto the marble floor.
Fortunately, Jennifer swiftly caught Lil Sam, holding him tightly. "Don't be afraid, Mommy's here."
Lil Sam cried in her arms, his small voice haltingly saying, "Mommy, I'm scared... They're all so mean... I'm scared of this aunt... She always makes me sleep... and doesn't let me cry... but I miss Mommy... When I think of Mommy, I want to cry..."
Tears streamed down Jennifer's face, her heart feeling as though it had been torn apart.
"Dad, look at this wild child! He actually bit me, just like Jennifer, no manners!" Emily Anderson complained, showing Edward Anderson her injured arm.
Edward Anderson snorted and grabbed Lil Sam's arm, attempting to pull them apart, instructing the household staff, "What are you waiting for? Take the child away! They are not allowed to meet again in the future!"
Although Lil Sam didn't understand the adults' words, he knew they were trying to separate him from his mother. He immediately burst into heart-wrenching sobs, clinging tightly to Jennifer's hand.
Jennifer wanted to hold onto him, not letting him be taken away by others.
But her strength alone was no match for the several people trying to take Lil Sam away from her. Her hand, clasped tightly with her child's, was forcefully separated.
As she watched her crying child being carried away by the toughest servant of The Anderson Family, she wanted to chase after him. However, her own parents, brother, and Emily Anderson blocked her way.
Listening to the increasingly distant cries of her child, her tears fell instantly. She knelt on the ground, pleading, "What do you want? Please, give my child back, please!"
"Replace Emmy and marry Quentin Tyler. You'll see the child once a month," Edward Anderson said to her with disdain.
Jennifer pleaded desperately, "Dad, please, can I see Sam once a week?"
"Dad, once a week won't do. If The Tyler Family finds out what kind of person she is, it will be troublesome."
Jennifer glared at Emily, wishing she could fight Emily. "If it weren't for your vanity, I wouldn't end up like this..."
Before she could finish her sentence, Edward Anderson's face twisted in anger, and he slapped her hard. "You are a disgrace to The Anderson Family. You're not allowed to speak ill of Emmy like that! Once a month, will you marry or not? If not, I'll get rid of this b*st*rd!"
"Okay, okay, I'll marry, I'll marry..." She covered her face in terror, trembling and collapsing to the ground.

Chapter 2: Public Humiliation in the Wedding
In Sunset Ridge City,
The union between the Tyler family and Anderson family was nothing short of a grand affair, with the venue adorned in colorful flowers, exuding an extreme sense of romance, and bustling with guests.
Relatives and guests from both sides were present, joyous and full of congratulations, creating a lively atmosphere.
However, Jennifer, clad in a pristine white wedding gown, merely looked on with disdain, as if all of this had nothing to do with her.
The emcee on stage was speaking, but she didn't register a single word, feeling like a puppet being controlled, holding onto Edward Anderson's arm as they slowly made their way up the stage to the music.
With her veil covering her face, no one could see the deadened expression on her face.
The groom stood on stage, dressed in a formal suit, tall and handsome, with eyes as deep as obsid
