[Secret marriage contract + male lead has been plotting for a long time + possessive pursuit + overwhelming desire to possess + rivalry between men + both leads are inexperienced]
A cold, brooding scion of a powerful family × a clear-eyed, alluring beauty
Fu Zhengyan is ruthless and commands absolute power in the capital.
Rumor has it he is naturally cold-hearted and wants nothing to do with women.
After a transaction of mutual benefit, Jiang Xia became the secret “songbird in a gilded cage” Fu Zhengyan kept.
She was with him for nearly three years, yet had barely even seen him.
She thought Fu Zhengyan probably hated her.
It didn’t matter. She was with him for profit, not love.
Until one day, while cleaning the study, Jiang Xia accidentally knocked a book off the corner of the desk and discovered his secret.
There was a hidden room concealed in the study, its walls covered with photographs, every one of them of her.
One photograph, yellowed around the edges and torn in half, caught her eye.
In it, she was smiling brightly.
If she remembered correctly, the other half that had been torn away showed her ex-boyfriend.
Not long after that photo was taken, the Jiang family went bankrupt, she was dumped, and she secretly married Fu Zhengyan.
A noise came from the doorway, and Jiang Xia began to tremble violently.
It seemed she had... never really known her husband.
But thankfully, their secret marriage contract was about to expire. After the divorce, she would have nothing to do with him.
Jiang Xia was wrong again.
She had underestimated just how crazy Fu Zhengyan was.
On a certain night, after she tried to escape and was caught...
Fu Zhengyan gripped her waist hard, his burning body pressed against her from behind. His hoarse voice came in ragged bursts beside her ear, like the chant of an ancient demon.
“Baby, you’re being naughty.”
“No matter where you run, I’ll...”
Good looking. Recommended
