(A short novel, complete in under 120 chapters.)
Five years ago, Tao Yizhi abandoned her husband and child. With a cool flourish, she put on her sunglasses and told Gu Chenye, “Don’t get in the way of me becoming a star and making it big. My mom says that if you spend your life with a pauper, your whole life is ruined.”
Five years later, Gu Chenye had transformed into the heir to Asia’s largest conglomerate. He came to her with an air of authority. “Yiyi has leukemia. You need to have another child for me. Name your price.”
Later, Tao Yizhi expected Gu Chenye to take revenge and humiliate her. She waited a long time, but he never said a single humiliating word. Instead, he kept using his connections to get her opportunities and promote her career.
So she waited to get pregnant and give birth, then settle their debts and go their separate ways. But instead, Gu Chenye made a grand announcement that she was the mother of his two children and that he would take her to register their marriage.
And the child’s illness had been a lie, too.
She refused to marry him, called him a liar, and tried to cut ties. But he imprisoned her and murmured sweet nothings to her night after night. “Be good. If you want to die, I’ll go with you. Otherwise, you’ll never leave me.”
