(Possessive pursuit + heroine suffers early on + hero suffers later)
Brooding, unhinged hero | Gentle, levelheaded heroine
Lin Wu has lost count of how many times she’s been deceived.
He said he would marry her, but made her his concubine instead.
Lin Wu dutifully played the part, and he swore she was the only woman he would ever take.
He lied again, taking one concubine after another.
Lin Wu has always found him disgusting and refused to be intimate with him.
At last, she couldn’t bear being his concubine any longer and escaped. The world was wide open before her.
Half a year later, her childhood betrothed came after her.
Lin Wu said, “I’m about to marry someone else. You’re only showing up now?”
He replied, “You mean that country bumpkin? I killed him.”
