After her mother died and her stepmother married into the family, Ning Shiyuan’s father became a stepfather in all but name. She grew up hungry, relying on the kindness of neighbors for meals.
Poison left Ning Shiyuan’s face horribly disfigured, but her fiancé never once seemed to find her repulsive. She thought she’d found true love, only to discover that he had been using her to get his hands on the Ning family fortune. He had already been in bed with her stepsister.
Breaking off the engagement wasn’t enough. To get revenge, she decided to sleep with a man.
Broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs. Not a bad deal.
