[A love born of hatred + taking by force + obsessive madness + winning her back]
[A beautiful, bold heiress VS a restrained, obsessive illegitimate son]
In her previous life, at her coming-of-age ceremony, Lin Cheng passed over the Lu family’s eldest legitimate son and chose Lu Han Zhou, the family’s illegitimate son, as her fiancé.
She thought it would be a chance at redemption, the beginning of a romantic love story.
Instead, it was the first step toward sacrificing her life and plunging into an abyss.
After three years of marriage, Lin Cheng loved Lu Han Zhou obsessively, but he treated her with cold indifference.
As their families battled for power, the two drifted further and further apart.
In the end, Lin Cheng lost her family and took her own life in despair.
When she opened her eyes again, she was back at the coming-of-age banquet.
This time, she chose someone else.
But Lu Han Zhou kept coming to find her, again and again.
He pinned her hands behind her back and leaned close. His waist pressed hard against her as his warm breath fell on the hollow of her neck.
“You promised you’d choose me. How can you choose someone else?”
She glared at him, kicking and hitting as she resisted his advances.
“Get away from me! This has nothing to do with you!”
In the end, she fled in panic.
She had thought she understood Lu Han Zhou well enough.
Until...
She accidentally stumbled into a secret room.
Her photographs covered every inch of it.
At the same time, she witnessed something utterly outrageous.
She tried to escape, but his burning body came up behind her and pulled her into his arms.
“If I’d known you wouldn’t choose me, I wouldn’t have kept up the act.”
He shed his cold mask and forcefully claimed her warmth.
No matter how she kicked, hit, or shoved him, he wouldn’t let go.
Not until she was crying and begging him to stop, again and again...
Lin Cheng stared at him in terror. “How can you be like this?”
He smiled and pressed close to her again. “Baby, this is who I really am. Don’t you like it?”
