[Rihanna x Cheng Huaijin] [BE]
Rihanna was once the only warm sunshine in Cheng Huaijin's childhood, a skylark chasing the light. But a horrific car accident brought on by betrayal shattered two families. In despair, Cheng Huaijin's mother took her own life along with those of her husband, who had betrayed her, and her best friend. The tragedy turned the last of the warmth in Cheng Huaijin's heart to ashes.
Years later, Cheng Huaijin returned as a titan of the business world, consumed by a bone-deep hatred. He aimed the blade of revenge at his childhood sweetheart, Rihanna. He destroyed her family with his own hands and drove her gravely ill father to the brink. Then, playing both savior and executioner, he presented her with a marriage contract.
"Sign it, and the Rui family might still cling to life."
"Spend your whole life atoning for your sins."
Forced into the gilded cage he had carefully built for her, Rihanna became his wife in name and his prisoner in reality. In a marriage designed to torment her, Cheng Huaijin watched coldly as she struggled and suffered, intent on extinguishing the last glimmer of light in her heart.
Against the light, the skylark's wings were broken. As hatred reached its peak, buried feelings and hidden truths began to surface. Where will this captivity, born of revenge, ultimately lead? Will they both sink into the abyss of hatred, or find a faint glimmer of redemption amid their shattered past?
