I’ve Tormented My Husband a Thousand Times

Yun Shu’s rule for life is simple: use her beauty to attach herself to the most powerful nobleman and escape her family’s control.

Shen Yan, heir to the Duke of Zhenguo, is her perfect target.

With one “carefully staged” fall into the water, she lands successfully in his arms.

She secretly celebrates how smoothly her plan is going, unaware that the hands holding her have been trembling for her for a long time.

He watches her cautiously maneuver step by step through the web of tenderness he has spun,

watches her cleverly mistake him for a pawn,

watches her finally break free of her cage and fly toward the boundless world that belongs to her.

Then, just before she is about to disappear, he gives the silken thread a gentle tug.

“Had your fun?” He locks her back in his arms as she tries to run, his fingertips rubbing the old marks on her neck. His voice is hoarse. “It’s time to come home, my little fox.”
