[Down-on-her-luck, sensitive, aloof, sharp-tongued heiress × scheming, obsessive CEO with a controlling streak]
[Tags: married first, love later · winning her back · devoted to each other]
At eighteen, Qiao Mei thought her life had sunk into a swamp she could never escape.
But a marriage of convenience made her the enviable young madam of the Feng family, Jiangjing’s wealthiest household.
Her husband in name, Feng Qiyan, heir to the Feng empire, was rumored to be a playboy, faithless and cold-hearted. For some reason, though, he treated her with a tenderness that left her helpless.
At last, Qiao Mei fell into his tender embrace. She set aside her pride and arrogance, becoming Feng Qiyan’s sweet, obedient wife.
It was only when she found the photographs locked away in his cabinet that she realized she had imagined it all. She was nothing more than a laughable substitute.
But why, after the woman he had always loved returned, did he refuse to let Qiao Mei go when she turned to leave?
The dignified man held her captive in his arms, nestling against her neck with desperate devotion. His voice was wild and wicked:
“Qiao Mei, you can hate me, but don’t even think about leaving me.”
In the eyes of the world, the Feng CEO commands every kind of power and influence. In truth, he painstakingly uses love, and even resorts to the despicable weapon of hate, all to keep one woman by his side.
