Whispers on the Pillow: A Ruthless Officer Points His Gun at My Waist

[Southeast Asian setting + prickly innocent heroine + fake replacement + size difference + forced love + sweet and angsty romance]

Meng Nanzhi: “Ji Yang, I love you so, so much!” (I’m pretending.)

Ji Yang: “Keeping you by my side doesn’t mean anything. You’re only her replacement.” (I’m pretending too.)

She was once the young lady of the Meng family, with a bright future ahead of her. Then someone sabotaged her, and she was cast adrift in a foreign land.

They first met in Thailand, where he was far beyond her reach. When they met again in Myanmar, she was mired in hardship, and only then did he dare to take her for himself. The young woman was always putting on a show of deep devotion. He knew she wasn’t sincere, yet willingly let himself be deceived, willingly submitted to her. At first, he thought she would keep pretending for the rest of her life. He was willing to let her fool him forever.

The young woman was like a ray of sunshine in his decaying, lightless life, but she refused to remain with him in hell forever.

If Pei Yujing lost because he put self-interest first, then Ji Yang lost because he never said what he truly felt.

“Ji Yang, if you don’t love me, why won’t you let me go?”

Meng Nanzhi was born free. Even in death, she would never willingly stay by his side.

After she died, he resolved to spend the rest of his life alone. He never expected the young woman would dare deceive him even in death.

The renowned Mr. Ji Yang was, of all things, completely played by a young woman.
