The day Jiang Lichu discovered Chen Zui was cheating, she dumped him without hesitation, then quietly married someone else.
Chen Zui scoffed at the idea. Everyone in Jingbei knew she was his woman. Who would dare take her?
Two months later, Liang Huijing, whose name struck fear into everyone, posted a marriage certificate on social media. Jiang Lichu's name was clearly written in the bride's column.
Chen Zui panicked. The former playboy bowed his head. “Chuchu, I won't marry her. How about I marry you instead?”
The man beside her laughed scornfully. “If you want to be the other man, you're still not good enough.”
Everyone said Liang Huijing was refined, self-possessed, and beyond anyone's reach. Only Jiang Lichu knew that her uncle-in-law in name only was gentle and aloof on the surface, but more obsessive and intense in private than anyone else.
She had thought such a passionate entanglement was just a fleeting attraction between adults, each getting what they wanted, and that when the spark wore off, she'd have to know when to leave.
But then...
She saw him kneel before her, eyes red, fierce yet sincere.
“Mrs. Liang, you are mine. You always will be.”
Only then did she realize that this marriage was a cage built step by step, with love as its bait.
She couldn't escape, and she didn't want to.
Very beautiful, I like it very much
