To pay for her father's medical bills, Fang Jingran took her younger sister's place and married a man who was notorious and deaf in both ears.
On their wedding night, she stood before him and took off her clothes, one piece at a time. But he was so aloof that he barely spared her a glance.
He offered only one dangerous warning: “Our marriage is nothing but a contract. If you cross the line, you won't be able to bear the consequences.”
Living beside this unpredictable man, Fang Jingran was on edge every day, afraid of provoking him.
Everyone was waiting to see her make a fool of herself. No one expected her new husband to become her greatest ally.
When the contract expired, Fang Jingran packed her bags and left, but the man’s eyes turned red. “Don't go.”
He was the first to cross the line, burying himself in her and making love to her until she could barely get out of bed night after night.
Only then did Fang Jingran realize that the man before her was nothing like the cold, abstinent person he seemed to be.
He murmured soothingly, “Do you know how long I've loved you?”
