No Vegetarian Fare After Dark: The Hong Kong Underworld’s Devout Prince Spoils His Canary

At the mention of Huo Yu again Chen Shuwang's eyes filled with hatred. She cursed him bitterly, wishing aloud that he would hurry up and die. - Shuwang brought the gravely wounded Huo Yu home. Her kindness was repaid with imprisonment, threats, and daily torment. Chen Shuwang begged him on her knees, but Huo Yu cruelly refused: “Be good. Give me a baby, and I’ll let you go.” The infamous young heir of Hong Kong, Huo Yu, had a face like a god and the heart of a demon. No woman he set his sights on could escape. The first time Shuwang tried to run, he broke one of her legs. The third time, Huo Yu threatened her family: “Be good. If you run again, I’ll break one of your brother’s hands. If you don’t care, go ahead and try.” - Shuwang stopped running. Huo Yu took her to see the snow on Mount Fuji and bought her the most expensive villa. When passion took hold, he whispered against her ear: “Be good. You were the fleeting glimpse of wonder in Hong Kong’s long rainy season.” Whenever the women of Hong Kong spoke of Chen Shuwang, Their eyes were full of both disdain and envy. - Later, Huo Yu caught Shuwang trying to escape in a rundown tenement. By then, Chen Shuwang had taken abortion pills. Blood stained her white dress as she smiled faintly. “Huo Yu, I will never have your child. Never.” Word had it that the usually dignified young heir had gone mad. Every doctor in Hong Kong was summoned to the Governor’s House, all striving to save the Governor’s eldest grandson. Huo Yu climbed the steps of Beidi Temple, bowing his head to the ground with every step as he begged the Bodhisattva for mercy. He would give up everything he had in exchange for Shuwang and the baby’s health and safety. - After they married, Shuwang devoted herself to her husband and children, becoming a proper wife to the Governor. Their days passed in peace, until She found her former fiancé’s severed hand in a hidden compartment. The memories forcibly erased from her mind came flooding back, and Shuwang killed herself in despair. Huo Yu’s eyes reddened as he held her captive in his arms. “Be good. Don’t make me lock you away.”
