Shen Ruxin was an orphan of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household. She had planned to lie flat, marry her childhood sweetheart, and spend the rest of her life in peace. But she was framed, made a princess, and pushed by the cruel hand of fate into a political marriage in Beiyi.
To escape that fate, she had no choice but to change her plans and set out to win over her powerful sworn enemy.
Who could have guessed that on the day the army returned victorious, her sworn enemy would dismantle every illusion she had woven with effortless ease and expose her for who she really was?
With nowhere else to turn, Shen Ruxin went to Li Chi’s home, but couldn’t even get through the door. She climbed in using a ladder, and the moment she saw him, she grabbed his collar with trembling hands and pressed her soft lips to his.
“I want your...” blood... life.
Li Chi: Tsk. So you’ve been poisoned with this kind of drug?
Later, sick of spending every night making sure he was satisfied, Shen Ruxin tearfully said, “I only got involved with you because I had no choice. I didn’t know my older brother... liked you too! Let me go!”
A flicker of awkwardness crossed Li Chi’s handsome face. In an instant, he turned red-eyed and pulled her tightly into his arms, demanding in a hoarse voice, “Have you still not forgotten him?”
She had woven the net herself at first, but now that she was trapped in it, she wanted to break free and escape?
He would bind her and tie her up if he had to, but he would keep her caught in that net.
Then he would mend it with his own hands, turning it into a happy little nest belonging only to the two of them, so they could remain bound together forever.
