After Refusing the Wedding to Bring Good Fortune, I Was Swept Off My Feet by the Scheming Heir

[Possessive Pursuit + Intense Push and Pull + Both Leads Pure + Male Lead Appears Gentle but Is Dark Inside]

Luo Lingxi and An Moran had never met. They lived worlds apart.

Yet after one of them fell into the water, they were both drawn into the same dream.

The nightmare was so absurd and sensual that it felt real.

From then on, he knew she was the one.

He would marry no one else.

That year, with nowhere else to turn, she sought refuge at the Duke's residence.

There, she saw the man from her dream standing before her in the flesh.

He was An Moran, a powerful heir with a high-ranking title.

He was also the cousin of the sickly man she was supposed to marry to bring him good fortune.

They said he kept his distance from women, cold and handsome, noble and unmatched.

Above all, he was ruthless and domineering.

Until one day, he suddenly gave in to desire.

He stole his younger cousin's bride and caged her like a pretty bird.

It turned out the world had been wrong. The heir was not cold and passionless.

At night, he coaxed her, coaxed her again, and tempted her,

pressing against her lips with brute force and kissing her fiercely.

“You’re mine. My life is yours…”

Luo Lingxi instinctively fought back, only driving him further into madness until her lips were swollen from his kisses.

She ran, he pursued, and she had no way to escape.

When he caught up with her, she refused to go back with him.

His gaze was as sharp as a blade. “You won’t come back? Dare to say that again.”

To keep her by his side and win her heart,

he helped reopen the case surrounding her father’s murder.

He set her up with a bookshop so she could earn a living.

He made her a county lady and showered her with favor.

And if that still wasn’t enough, he would give her mother and brother noble status, too.

If that still didn’t work, he would kneel before her,

pretend to be clueless, act cute, and beg for her love…

All was fair in love and war, and he would stop at nothing.
