The Delicate Maid: The Mad Young Lord Coaxes Me Night After Night

[One-on-One, Happy Ending, The Husband Chases His Wife to the Crematorium + Taking Her by Force]

Shen Zhiyao was devastatingly beautiful, with a slender waist like a willow. The old madam arranged for her to be sent to the room of Sheng Chenjing, heir to the dukedom.

As heir to the Duke of Yan’s household, Sheng Chenjing was cold-blooded and unfeeling, always calculating several steps ahead, and never soft-hearted. Yet one of his concubines managed to unsettle him and make him lose his reason.

Sheng Chenjing constantly warned her not to overstep, yet each time he promised that he would eventually elevate her to the rank of concubine, Shen Zhiyao fell more deeply in love.

Sadly, one day Shen Zhiyao discovered that she was merely a substitute for the woman he had always loved. The real woman returned to the capital soon afterward. After being threatened and framed, Shen Zhiyao realized the gulf between them. With the old madam’s help, she obtained free status and seized her chance to fake her death and escape.

When Sheng Chenjing learned that Shen Zhiyao had died in a fire, he rushed to the scene. Holding her corpse, now little more than charred remains, he sat in silence for three days and nights before finally realizing that he had fallen in love with her.

A year or so later, while investigating a case far from home, Sheng Chenjing spotted a woman who looked exactly like Shen Zhiyao.

When he learned that Shen Zhiyao was about to marry, he arrived at her wedding with a sword in hand. His usually composed, cool gaze was now rimmed with red, his narrow eyes dark and chilling. He cornered her, his long, jade-like fingers gliding suggestively along her neck. “Tell me, who are you going to marry?”
