[Marriage Before Love, Both Chaste, Sweet Wealthy-Family Romance, Healing and Redemption, Light Suspense]
The day Song Shiyun was humiliated in public, Chu Yi proposed to her.
He was Yanjing's most mysterious and powerful heir, and the man with whom she had accidentally lost her virginity.
To save her father, she married him.
But she lived in constant anxiety, terrified he would discover her secret: that she was “impure.”
On their wedding night, he really didn't touch her.
She thought he was disgusted by her, not knowing he already knew everything and was patiently weaving a tender net of love around her.
Later, she discovered that the famously cold and ruthless Mr. Chu
was rather easy to fool, and even a little... obedient?
Her father-in-law, the richest man in the country, slammed the table. “Shiyun! That good-for-nothing hasn't come home for three days. Do something about him!”
Her cultured mother-in-law handed her a check. “Dear daughter-in-law, make sure he stays at my art exhibition for the full two hours!”
Her uncle in the military shoved a weapon into her hands. “Niece-in-law, the boy's been injured. Could you... give him a scolding?”
Even his brothers, who got into fights every time they met, snapped to attention when they saw her. “Hello, sister-in-law!”
Then one day, he came home covered in blood and pinned her against the door, his voice hoarse. “Don't look. I'm dirty.”
She cupped his face and burst into tears. “Chu Yi, if you get hurt again, I'll kiss you until you remember not to.”
His gaze darkened, and he turned the tables:
“I'll remember that.”
“Now, let me collect a little interest.”
It turned out that a beast's tenderness was a privilege reserved for just one person.
