Be Good, Don’t Run: My Powerful Ex Claims Me with an Iron Grip

[Top Eastern European mixed-heritage tycoon x gentle, resilient, aloof good girl | tortured romance with an ex | possessive pursuit | obsessive imprisonment and pampering | international dark romance | both leads are virgins] After a year of marriage, Jiang Nian had finally watched her relationship with her husband grow warmer. She thought the worst was over. But a sudden upheaval plunged her into the hell of northern Myanmar overnight, where she became a top-tier gift offered up to someone else. When they met again, he was the underground king who sat at the pinnacle of power and could turn the world upside down with a wave of his hand. He was also her ex-boyfriend, the man she had cruelly pushed away and cut off completely all those years ago: Xie Jingci. His eyes and brows were dark and cold, filled with years of obsessive possessiveness. At first, he watched coldly as she sank into desperation. Only when she had nowhere left to turn and begged him in a trembling, humble voice did she unleash the madness he had suppressed for years. “Jiang Nian, now that you've begged me, don't even think about escaping for the rest of your life. You can belong to me alone, in this life and every life to come.” What she thought was salvation from despair turned out to be a lavish, airtight cage built in the name of love. In a love-and-hate entanglement that had come years too late, he would use all his overwhelming power to keep her by his side, transforming her from a treasured captive in his palm into his one and only wife.
