A Gentle Seduction: Miss Wen Finally Falls

The day she took her sister's place and married into the Xie family, Xie Zhiyi looked at her coldly and said, each word cutting deep, “Take off the wedding dress. It was never meant for you.”

Wen Yihe tossed aside her veil without a trace of expression and married into a gilded cage under the identity that should have belonged to her sister.

After the wedding, they treated each other with icy civility, living out their days in cold silence.

She was always ready to make her exit, until Xie Zhiyi's real wife returned from abroad.

Wen Yihe immediately packed her bags, ready to make a clean getaway.

But the man stopped her in the living room of Lanting, his voice low. “Lanting is yours. Consider it compensation.”

Her heart stirred, but the very next moment, he drawled,

“Can I rent the spare bedroom? I'll come back twice a week, and I'll cover all the utilities.”

Wen Yihe: “???”

Wasn't he supposed to set her free once his beloved returned?

Why does this line between them grow harder to keep from crossing the more they tug at it?
