The Mad Powerbroker Forces Her to Marry Him: You Were the One Who Tempted Me First

One is a ruthless commander of the Imperial Guards; the other, a kind and delicate orphan girl. At the Lantern Festival, Lu Guanyun falls for Yu Wan at first sight. He doesn't ask how she feels or care about her family background; he simply shows up at her door and forces her to marry him. After Yu Wan marries into the Changxing Earl's household, she never enjoys a single peaceful day. Her mother-in-law gives her cold looks, the servants snicker, and she lives surrounded by scorn and gossip. Her husband is possessive and domineering, making every decision for her and keeping her trapped within the vermilion walls, never allowing her to defy him in the slightest. Yu Wan fears him, resents him, and longs to escape him. At last, when Lu Guanyun is caught up in a political storm and has no time to spare, Yu Wan leaves him a divorce letter and quietly disappears from his world. Lu Guanyun searches for her frantically for five years. When they meet again, he pins her in his arms, eyes red, and says hoarsely, “Wan'er, five years, a whole five years. Not a single day has been peaceful for me. Please, take pity on me and don't be so cruel.”
