At nineteen, the intellectually disabled Li Yu was brought back to a wealthy family and became the most obedient bargaining chip in a deal. She was married off to Pei Xingye, the most notorious young man in the capital.
There was no tenderness on their wedding night. When she woke up, he treated her like discarded trash.
“That’s all you’re good for.”
He treated her like a plaything, a means of satisfying his desire, but never as his wife.
Naive and confused, she could only silently accept whatever he did to her.
Until the night his enemy locked her in a dark warehouse and drugged her, while he was watching the aurora in Iceland with his dream girl.
Trembling, she called him. A lazy, amused woman’s voice answered: “He’s in the shower. Who is this?”
Through the feverish haze, Shen Zexu was the one who broke down the door.
The man who was always so cool and self-contained now had a terrifying storm brewing in his eyes.
She bit his arm. Through restrained gasps, he pulled her back from the brink, but once everything spiraled out of control, he draped his coat over her and turned away.
“No one will know what happened tonight.”
“You’re still his wife.”
A marriage that began in scheming, was bound by desire, and trapped them in painful clarity.
Pei Xingye thought she would always be the obedient bird in his palm. Shen Zexu thought silence was the best way to protect them both.
Until five years later, when she regained her senses.
Pei Xingye finally understood his own feelings. When she turned to leave, he completely lost control and grabbed her, his eyes bloodshot.
“Li Yu, let’s talk…”
Shen Zexu drew her behind him and showed off his wedding ring.
“She’s my lawful wife now.”
P.S. The above is from the heroine’s point of view. Some angst, one heroine and two male leads, and both men are virgins. Pei: devoted playboy. Shen: aloof and untouchable. The heroine is adored by everyone. She is intellectually disabled at first, but regains her intelligence later.
Two male protagonists?
