Marriage first, love later + scheming + obsessive love + possessive romance
A tragic power struggle between a frail young nobleman and a bride brought in to bring him good luck
Zhou Yinwen is the eldest son of the Zhou household, bedridden by a lingering illness. Heng Yu is a bride forced to marry into a wealthy family to save her younger brother.
A contract binds their fates together: he relies on her to bring him luck and prolong his life, while she relies on his protection for her family.
Dark currents stir within the Zhou household. Madam Du, his stepmother, watches hungrily from the sidelines; Concubine Liu is plagued by nightmares every night; and a ghostly figure in white is often seen drifting through the western courtyard.
When Heng Yu discovers that these supposed hauntings are connected to Zhou Yinwen’s deceased mother, she realizes that he planned this marriage from the very beginning.
“Afraid of ghosts?” the bedridden young master says with a soft laugh. “The living are much scarier than ghosts.”
Only after a series of events, including a massacre of a merchant caravan, a concubine’s descent into madness, and the sudden death of the second son born to the main wife, does Heng Yu understand the revenge behind it all. Zhou Yinwen has used his frail body to lay the cruelest trap of all.
“When the contract expires, I’ll set you free.”
But when she really tries to leave, the young master who always had everything under control turns red-eyed. “Heng Niang, please be kind to me.”
It's pretty good, the female protagonist is simple and energetic, and the male protagonist is scheming and intelligent. Hey-hey
It's very interesting. I haven't read this kind of interesting article in a long time. I only read the beginning and couldn't finish reading. Thank you for the author!
No wonder I like to read this book. It turns out that I have already read another novel by the author. I will continue to update the author!!!
