After Mistaking Him for My Husband, the Ascetic Chief Coddles Me Every Night

[Dual Male Leads + Mistaken Identity + Unhinged Powerful Minister Who Takes What He Wants]

The night Shen Wanwan entered the Xie residence, thunder rumbled and rain poured.

The Listening Rain Pavilion was pitch-black. Trembling, she called out in a soft voice, “My lord…”

The man was ice-cold all over, but the next moment he took control, pinning her down on the bed. Like a ravenous beast, he became addicted to her taste.

Shen Wanwan thought she had finally won her husband’s affection.

Until the family banquet the next day, when she saw Xie Ci, the chief minister and her husband’s elder brother, a man rumored to be detached from worldly desires and unable to walk.

He sat in his wheelchair, idly twirling the pearl earring she had dropped the night before between his fingers. His gaze, deep as a wolf’s, fell on the red marks at her neckline. With a faint, unreadable smile, he asked, “Sister-in-law, did you sleep well last night?”

Shen Wanwan felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss.

Xie Wang had always thought Shen Wanwan was a timid, dull bedchamber maid. It wasn’t until she died in that great fire that he went mad.

Three years later, he returned in triumph, only to see the “dead” woman, visibly pregnant, held in the arms of the elder brother he respected most as he kissed her.

Xie Wang’s eyes reddened. “Big brother, you…!”

Xie Ci slowly wiped the rouge from the corner of his mouth. His gaze was sinister and feverish. “She used to be yours, but from that night on… her life and soul have belonged to me.”

“Shen Wanwan, you don’t have to love me, but in this life, you can only die in my bed.”
