Updated 10/08/2026 8 min read

While I was building a fire in the kitchen, a stream of bullets suddenly appeared in front of my eyes: 【The female lead is about to burn her university admission notice, the cruel plot has begun.】 At that moment, Chu Vinh Tong gave me an old paper box. He said: "Burn it, it's all unused stuff." 1 【In this box is the female lead's college admission notice. If she burns it, she will no longer have the opportunity to go to school in her entire life.】 【The female lead will stay in her hometown to serve her mother-in-law, living alone for half of her life. The male lead took the female side to the capital to start a business, and the two even secretly had a child together. It wasn't until the male lead was old, bedridden, and hated by the female lead that he realized the person he truly loved was the female lead. After that, the two of them were "broken and healed".】 I was stunned looking at the floating text, forgetting the movements in my hand. Chu Vinh Tong urged: "Burn it quickly, so that the house will not be entangled." Just as I was about to open the box to take a look, Chu Vinh Tong's expression immediately changed and his voice became hurried: "It's a document I don't use anymore. Even if you understand, it's useless, burn it." Until now, whenever Chu Vinh Tong showed signs of anger, I did not dare to disobey him. This time is no exception. Seeing me throw the paper box into the stove, he turned around and left. Waiting for the footsteps to fade away, I quickly took the box back out of the kitchen. Fortunately, there was no fire in the oven. Chu Vinh Tong, who rarely goes into the kitchen, did not discover anything. I trembled as I opened the paper box, and the red admission notice caught my eye. My name - "Phuong Tinh" was clearly printed on it, making the corners of my eyes sting. I carefully hid the acceptance notice, walked out of the kitchen, and heard the sound of conversation outside. "Don't worry, Mom, Phuong Tinh has personally burned the college admission notice. She will stay at home to take care of Mom. I'll take Tieu Mai to the capital." Ms. Chu's voice was a bit nervous: "What if Phuong Tinh knows the truth?" Chu Vinh Tong sneered: "Who can blame her if she burned it herself? Until then, we can just say we forgot to put the newspaper in the box." 【The male lead is so disgusting.】 【This is truly a typical reverse story, in the beginning the story treats the female lead miserably, then the male lead comes back to pursue which is the "cool" part.】 【What's cool, when he was young, he fell in love with the female sidekick, only when he was old and abandoned did he come back to find the female lead.】 【Just like the story of Vuong Bao Xuyen picking wild vegetables for eighteen years, and then becoming queen for ten years. eight days.】 My heart finally cooled down, and only at this moment did I completely believe that what the bullet said was true. It turned out that from the beginning, Chu Vinh Tong had no intention of taking me with him to the capital. In his eyes, I am just a woman who can stay in the countryside and take care of her elderly mother for free. The room suddenly fell silent for a moment. Chu Vinh Tong saw me just entering and said coldly: "Tieu Mai passed the university entrance exam, but her family is poor and doesn't have money to pay tuition. How much money do you have left?" "I do not have." Chu Vinh Tong was slightly surprised - someone who had always listened to him like me dared to show an unhappy face. His face flashed with sarcasm: "Tieu Mai has no one to rely on now, do you have no responsibility?" My heart felt like someone was choking me. My father was once a flood rescue hero. That year, in the rushing water, he chose to save Chu Vinh Tong - who was closer to him, but couldn't save him in time. Liu Tieu Mai's father - from the same village. After bringing Chu Vinh Tong to shore, my father was exhausted and was swept away by the current, never to return. 2 "If my father was still alive, I wouldn't have to worry about tuition... I..." Not knowing when, Liu Tieu Mai also arrived, standing in the room, timidly wiping her tears. Even though she's a country girl, she's pretty and adorable, with teary eyes that make people feel moved. 【Does this matter also fall on the female lead? Is the male lead crazy? To save someone, of course you save the closest person first.】 I asked Chu Vinh Tong with a trembling voice: "So... do you blame my father for not risking his life to save you?" Chu Vinh Tong's face darkened: "I can crawl to shore on my own. Didn't your father save me because you liked me? Now you have gotten your wish, married to me, still not satisfied?" Ridiculous. It's really ridiculous. My father's heroic sacrifice was turned into an act with his own purpose. Extreme anger made me open my mouth but couldn't utter a word. Luu Tieu Mai pulled Chu Vinh Tong's sleeve and gently said: "Mr. Chu, don't blame Ms. Phuong Tinh anymore, it's because she didn't get into university that she's upset in her heart." Chu Vinh Tong didn't seem to care about my presence, took out a handkerchief to wipe Liu Tieu Mai's tears. {Read the full story at Van Ha Tuong page} "I'll figure out how to take care of your tuition and living expenses, don't worry." Luu Tieu Mai smiled gratefully, her eyes curved like a new moon: "Mr. Chu, I cooked wild vegetable rice. Please come over and try it. From now on, you won't be able to eat this dish again when you go to the capital." After speaking, she secretly glanced at me: "Miss Phuong Tinh won't be angry, will she?" Chu Vinh Tong snorted coldly: "Don't pay attention to her, she still owes you a lot." Having finished speaking, the two of them walked out of the house side by side, their backs leaning close to each other, so harmonious that it was boring. Liu Tieu Mai's family belongs to a poor family in the village, and her father has been bedridden since he was alive. In the past, I often called Chu Vinh Tong - my childhood friend - to come help her family with farm work. But I don't know when, he was the only one left there. Mrs. Chu, who had been standing to the side watching, looked at me helplessly: "Rong Tong is just talking in anger. She only sees Tieu Mai as a younger sister, I'll coax her a little later. A girl, you have to know how to be humble to a man to keep a man's heart." When my father died, Mrs. Chu cried in front of the whole village, promising to treat me as her own daughter. She also knew that I liked Chu Vinh Tong, so she immediately decided on a marriage between the two families. Now that I think about it, she really has a gentle exterior but a cruel heart. Knowing my son's plan, he still pushed me into the fire pit. I made an excuse to go to town to buy things and quietly bought a train ticket to the capital tomorrow morning. I don't want to see any of them again. The bullets exploded again: 【The female lead is about to go to the capital to study at university? So how is the male lead pursuing his wife, setting the whole stage on fire?】 【If the female lead goes to the capital, she will immediately bump into the male lead and the female supporting character living together like husband and wife, isn't that even more dramatic?】 I smiled slightly - Chu Vinh Tong also wants to go to the capital? There's no door. 3 Chu Vinh Tong is a doctor at the town hospital. Thanks to his status as the "future son-in-law of a flood rescue hero", he was given the opportunity to go to the capital for advanced studies. expertise. But what if he is not my father's son-in-law? Since I thought I married him just to repay his favor, I definitely won't marry him again. I immediately went to my eldest aunt's house to present my decision. The eldest aunt was visibly happy: "From the beginning, I saw that that child was cold towards you, not someone you should rely on." My aunt immediately called my uncle who worked in the district and asked to revoke my marriage registration application with Chu Vinh Tong. Luckily it wasn't stamped yet, so it was still time to cancel. When I returned home, it was late afternoon. The house echoed with cheerful laughter. Liu Tieu Mai and Chu Vinh Tong sat next to each other, head to head. “Mr. Chu, please eat a piece of fish. When you go to the capital, you won't be able to eat your hometown food.” Chu Vinh Tong smiled, removed all the fish bones, then picked up the meat and put it back in Liu Tieu Mai's bowl. “I also eat a little more.” The two looked at each other and smiled, their eyes filled with intimacy like true family members. Mrs. Chu was the first person to see me and called out to me. The room immediately fell silent, as if I was the one ruining the warm atmosphere. I didn't answer, just coldly walked straight into my room. Someone snorted softly, then the living room became bustling again. It was all the sound of Liu Tieu Mai dreaming about life in the capital. Chu Vinh Tong occasionally responded, interspersed with the sound of Mrs. Chu cooing and scolding them for not eating. I pretended not to hear and started packing my things.
