Bai Xuanyue spent four years swallowing her pride to please a man.
She knew when he was warm or cold, understood his moods, and catered to his preferences.
Everyone thought they would get married, but in the end, the man fell in love with someone else and cast her aside like trash.
Shang Lu didn’t love Bai Xuanyue. He had used her family’s influence and pulled every string he could to climb to his current position, then looked down on the Bai family from on high.
He wanted to destroy the legacy the Bai family took pride in, and that included her.
She cried and begged him, “Shang Lu, don’t make me hate you.”
He remained unmoved. “I’m only afraid you don’t hate me enough.”
He thought he’d won in style, only to suddenly realize that he was merely a stand-in for the man Bai Xuanyue had always loved.
