My Boyfriend’s Sister-in-Law Tried to Lay Down the Rules, So I Married Someone Else

A gorgeous, high-maintenance heiress vs. a domineering man with a possessive streak. Once broken, a relationship is hard to mend. Pei Ning was secretly involved with the heir to the Shang family for three years. They loved each other passionately yet cautiously, acting like strangers in public while privately sharing all the intimacies of married life. She never expected the Shang family's eldest daughter-in-law to come knocking one day. The woman smiled sweetly, then handed her a densely packed copy of The Shang Family Rules, covering everything from daily schedules to male superiority. Every line reeked of cruelty. Just as the eldest daughter-in-law happily assumed Pei Ning would obediently do as she was told, Pei Ning gave a soft laugh and turned to break up with him. The Qing dynasty fell five hundred years ago. Why keep such feudal relics around? Was she supposed to hold on to them until New Year's? Later, Pei Ning married someone else in a blaze of glory, draping an arm around his shoulder and smiling brightly. The Shang heir beside her watched, his eyes reddening. “Those rules were made by them. What does that have to do with me? You're obviously taking it out on me!” Pei Ning sneered. “You're no better.” … Shang Ciyuan never understood. He'd only gone abroad for a while, so how had his gorgeous wife ended up running off with someone else, with a kid in tow? Unfortunately, the heiress wanted to be cherished above everyone else, but the jerk hadn't managed to tell her before she ran away. She even came back with a whole crowd of admirers: the second, third, and fourth male leads.
