[Lured into Marriage | Cold, Ruthless Powerbroker × Down-and-Out Heiress + Marriage First, Love Later + Restraint and Boundaries + Uncontrollable Possessiveness]
Drugged at a banquet, Shi Li was offered up as a gift by her own family.
In the final moments before she passed out, she fell into the arms of a stranger: Lu Jing, the newly appointed head of the Lu family.
With nowhere else to turn, she called after him and shakily proposed. “Let’s get married.”
Lu Jing looked down at her with a scornful laugh, his voice like ice. “You think you’re worthy?”
But in the blink of an eye, he handed her a marriage contract himself. “Sign it, and I’ll give you a home.”
From then on, she became Mrs. Lu, a secret no one knew.
The world said Lu Jing was indifferent to women and ruthless in his methods, but he had written her name deep into the spouse section of his legal documents.
He gave her every protection and indulged her in every way, yet never said he loved her.
Shi Li thought their marriage was nothing but a game, so she hid her feelings and kept to her place.
Until one day, at a charity gala, her childhood friend spent a fortune on her, setting the whole internet abuzz.
At midnight, the bedroom door was kicked open. Lu Jing pinned her against the wall, his lips against hers, a terrifying possessiveness burning in his eyes.
“I’ve held back from touching you for this long. Did you really think I wasn’t interested?”
He gripped her waist and kissed her urgently, passionately, leaving a deep red mark on her collarbone.
“Starting tonight, every inch of your body will carry my scent.”
The next day, the Lu Group’s official account pinned a photo of their marriage certificate, with just four short words:
“Call her Mrs. Lu.”
