He is a powerful aristocrat who stands above the clouds, able to turn the world upside down with a wave of his hand.
She is a fallen heiress with no one to rely on. A childhood marriage pact leaves her naively married to him, but she soon discovers that he already has someone else in his heart.
He hates her to the bone and swears to kill her.
“Yan Mu, sooner or later you’ll learn that marrying into the Fu family will bring you nothing but a life worse than death.”
She gives everything she has, trying to warm his heart of ice, only to become cold and ruthless herself.
Step by step, she lays her plans, using love as bait, until she finally backs him into a corner.
Five years later, the man returns in triumph with a genius little darling and pins her against the wall.
Yan Mu grits her teeth. “We agreed on a divorce. I’ll leave with nothing.”
The scheming little darling says, “Mommy, don’t make a fuss. Let’s talk it out. We’ll make Daddy kneel on the washboard later.”
The language is beautiful and the novel is worthy of review.
