I still remember the first time I met Ye Huairui. I saved his life, and he insisted on marrying me. Later, though, he said my background made me unworthy of him and demoted me from wife to concubine. I hadn’t seen him in three years, but tonight he suddenly appeared in my room. In the dark, he hurriedly began stripping off my clothes without a word. I ran my hand along his back. It was slick and clammy. This wasn’t Ye Huairui! I struggled with all my might, but the fat, big-eared man yanked my hair and said menacingly, “Ye Huairui has given you to me. You’d better behave.” Through the wall, I heard Ye Huairui and an unfamiliar woman breathing heavily. So he was tired of me and had given me away like some object. I gritted my teeth and endured it until I finally found a chance to escape. Then I heard that Ye Huairui had gone mad searching for me.
