When Our Marriage Was a Lie

Xie Xinyan drives drunk, hits Shen Shuyao with her car and breaks her leg, and needs a letter of forgiveness from her before she can be sent abroad. Xie Jialan, her adopted brother, proposes to Shen Shuyao not long after the accident. Shen Shuyao is a dancer and had spent five years in love with Xie Jialan without any of it being returned, so she accepts. Three years into the marriage she finds out what the wedding was for. The letter was signed and Xie Xinyan left the country. The single time she and her husband slept together was filmed, and the recording was being kept back for a public humiliation. Xie Jialan is known as an ascetic Buddhist. In the meditation room he watches videos of his adopted sister and masturbates. At a birthday party Shen Shuyao swaps out the video that is due to be shown, and the guests see the evidence of what is between Xie Jialan and Xie Xinyan. She divorces him and leaves. The heir of one of the old families has been in love with her for ten years.
