After Giving Way to His White Moonlight, the Cold Chief Secretary Went Mad

[Transmigrate into a book + marriage first, love later + darkening and push-pull romance + devoted to each other]

The moment Shen Hengzhi opened her eyes, she had transmigrated into a book as the wicked first wife of its future Grand Secretary.

As luck would have it, she had just drugged her cold, proud husband, a poor scholar. In the original story, the first thing this powerful official did after rising to prominence was lock her away in a cold courtyard and freeze her to death!

Faced with her husband’s look as if he wanted to peel off her skin and break every bone, Shen Hengzhi promptly backed down. She was done playing the doomed supporting character. Staying alive came first!

To survive until the “real heroine” appeared, she diligently played the perfect wife:

When her husband was humiliated, she stood up for him! When he ran out of money, she sold paintings to support the family! When he studied hard, she kept him company night after night. And when her scheming half-sister tried to sneak into his bed, Shen Hengzhi kicked her flying to protect her husband’s virtue!

At long last, she waited until he had all the power at court. Then his true “moonlight” appeared. Shen Hengzhi was overjoyed. That very night, she packed up the private savings she’d squirreled away, ready to step aside for the new love of his life.

But before she could climb over the back courtyard wall, the usually cold and self-possessed man wrapped an arm around her slender waist and slammed her against a rock in the artificial hill.

In the dark, the corners of his eyes burned with a possessive red. His rough fingertips traced her soft lips with dangerous intent, and his scorching breath seared her earlobe.

“You’ve been teasing me all this time, and now you want to run?” His voice was low and hoarse, thick with possessiveness. “You provoked me. Even if you go to hell, you’re going there in my arms.”
