Until she was twelve, Wen Xi was the eldest daughter of the Wen family.
After her parents died when she was twelve, Wen Xi was adopted by her uncle’s family. Her uncle took control of the Wen family’s assets, and from then on, the once free-spirited young heiress became the dutiful eldest daughter, with her life arranged by her uncle and aunt.
At twenty-five, she was forced into a marriage alliance with her ex-boyfriend, Fu Qi, the only son of the wealthy Fu family of Jingzhou. Unwilling to accept it, she ran away on her wedding day.
That night at a club, she was drawn to a handsome young man playing the erhu. Out of sheer rebelliousness, she married him after two wild nights together.
But it had all been part of his long-laid plan.
His identity and age were both fabricated.
She’d thought he was a poor college student working at a bar. Little did she know he was Zhou Zenian, a rising star in Jingzhou’s business world. He was also the Fu family’s only son.
And he’d approached her because she was supposed to marry Fu Qi. He only wanted to get information about the Fu family.
The day Wen Xi learned the truth, her heart sank. She prepared a divorce agreement.
“Zhou Zenian, I can’t stand being lied to. Let’s get divorced.”
The man’s eyes reddened as he gripped the divorce papers with trembling hands. “My identity was fake, but my feelings for you are real.”
