A New Year of the Horse Wedding: Mr. Ji Says One Thing and Means Another

Xu Zhiwei married Ji Linyuan purely as part of a family alliance. Ji Linyuan was cold and sharp-tongued, and never once treated her kindly. She tucked away her feelings, played the part of a pretty ornament, and waited for the right time to leave. At the family gathering during the Year of the Horse, she silently endured her relatives’ taunts. But late that night, outside the study, she heard Ji Linyuan speaking on the phone in a frigid voice: “I want that company bankrupt tomorrow. Yes, the one that bullied my wife.” She froze. Behind all his apparent “dislike” was a clumsy, unwavering determination to protect her.
