Qiao Qinghe watched the scene before him, a sense of suffocation constricting his chest, the clothes he held in his hands feeling even heavier.

Years ago, when a flood struck his hometown, he led his wife, children, and fellow villagers to seek refuge in the north. However, one day, his wife, who was carrying their young son, accidentally fell into the rapid currents. Despite his desperate attempts to rescue them, he returned empty-handed.
Sunk in despair, he spent his days in a daze, eventually losing track of his group, ending up in Anping Village.
At that time, he was feverish and collapsed on the roadside. It was his father-in-law, the patriarch of the Sun Family, who took him in, paid for his treatment, helped him settle down, and then, through a drunken mistake, he was forced to marry into the Sun family as a son-in-law.
