Synopsis

[Possessive Pursuit] [1V1] Shen Zhilan, the neglected legitimate eldest daughter of the Marquis's household, was pulled from a lake in front of a crowd. Amid the commotion, all anyone could talk about was marrying her off to a servant. Her younger sister had staged this whole spectacle to ruin her reputation in public. Shen Zhilan, who had transmigrated, smiled. Did her sister really think she would get her way? She charged straight in and pulled the handsome Third Prince Li Jingyu into her arms, smiling sweetly. “Caught you, my husband!” She never expected that after this noble-born prince distinguished himself in battle, someone would plot against him, leaving him with the behavior of a six-year-old child. Everyone said the Third Prince was foolish and dim-witted, but Shen Zhilan alone thought he was adorable. She fought tea with tea, and he kept her safe. Together, they took on every scheming woman in the capital. What would be so bad about living like this for the rest of their lives? On the day of the autumn hunt, Shen Zhilan was abducted. Li Jingyu's ruthless side returned, his gaze icy and murderous. “Every one of you will die!” Seeing him so utterly transformed, Shen Zhilan was dazed. Was this really the same foolish Third Prince she had known? He thought that after weathering so much together, they were inseparable. But she was afraid of a life steeped in bloodshed, and at last she told him, “Let me go.” Too proud to give in, he said, “It's not as if I need you.” Shen Zhilan faked her death and escaped. The towering flames consuming the marquis's estate became a fire of rage in Li Jingyu's heart, driving him nearly mad. At last he realized she had become part of him, and that he truly couldn't live without her. Following every clue he could find, he raced day and night, heedless of his reputation, and finally seized her by force on her wedding day. His eyes dark and deep, he drew her into his arms and gently caressed her cheek. “Finally caught you, my wife!”
