He Brings Bad Luck to His Wife. After One Night Together, I Slipped Away Before Dawn

Xie Yanci: A powerful figure in the capital’s elite circles, rumored to bring death to his wives. His first two fiancées died because of him. Cold, ruthless, obsessive, and intensely possessive.

Xia Xingran: A bold, independent special-police sniper. Clear-headed and rational, she cherishes her life but isn’t afraid to fight back.

Xia Xingran is forced to marry Xie Yanci, the “death-bringing menace” everyone in the capital avoids.

After two years of a marriage in name only, his first love returns, and Xia Xingran is done putting up with it. He claims her for himself, but after a night together, she looks at his handsome yet sinister face and remembers the rumors that he “killed” his first two fiancées. She packs her bags and runs that very night, wanting nothing more than to get as far away from him as possible.

Four years later.

She runs, he chases. She hides, he corners her.

Xie Yanci closes in at every turn, keeping her by his side as he declares obsessively, “Xia Xingran, you’re mine. Don’t even think about getting away from me, ever.”

As they spend more time together, sparks fly. The man who is cold as ice to everyone else is tender only with her, doing everything in his power to keep her safe.

From “running away in the middle of the night” to “falling for him despite herself,” Xia Xingran gradually enters Xie Yanci’s world and finds a love filled with unrivaled devotion, in a bittersweet romance about a runaway wife and the husband who pursues her until they finally end up together.
