[Transmigration] [System] [One-on-One Romance] [The Pursuit of His Wife] [Coercive Possession] [Both Leads Are Chaste]
Rumor has it that after the death of Xu Jinyan’s concubine, the Governor-General of Liangjiang in Yangzhou, he never married again. People often envy the late young woman Doukou, saying she was blessed with extraordinary good fortune.
Jiang Heyuan: Pah! What good fortune? You want that kind of fortune for yourself?
On a rainy night in Yangzhou, Xu Jinyan saw a young woman holding an umbrella and a lantern. All around her, the light flickered in the cold wind, but she stood there alone, holding her lantern with quiet grace. For a moment, his heart was moved.
Their repeated encounters gradually drew him in, until he was trapped as if sunk in a mire, unable to escape.
He laid all the finest things at her feet. She appeared obedient, but secretly plotted how to get away from him.
He had thought her cool and aloof, but one day he happened to see her on tiptoe, holding an umbrella over a lowly guard. She turned her head and gave the man a sweet, ingratiating smile. The usually composed and self-controlled Censor-in-Chief crushed the ribs of his umbrella in his hand, and for the first time felt the urge to devour someone alive.
He admits his methods are despicable, but with power vast enough to shake the heavens, there is nothing he cannot obtain.
She lives in the dense cage he has woven around her. Even her smile curves the way Xu Jinyan likes.
Content warning: The heroine never likes the hero, from beginning to end.
