When the Meng family lost a daughter, they adopted Meng Lishu. She grew up in luxury, with the usual childhood sweetheart fiancé, and was spoiled, willful, and constantly stirring up trouble. Plenty of people cursed that she would lose everything once the real heiress came back.
Then, one day when she was twenty-three, her parents excitedly took her hand and joined it with that of a poor student from her school with whom she had a grudge. “We found her. This is your older sister. At last, our family can be together again.”
Meng Lishu gave a bitter smile.
The daughter who had returned to the Meng family stole her parents’ affection, and now she wanted to take her fiancé, too.
On her birthday, Meng Lishu went into the wrong room and kissed the wrong man. She spent one unforgettable night with her former fiancé’s older brother. To outsiders, Mu Chengyu was loyal and devoted, refined, and impeccably respectable. Meng Lishu knew that anyone who could fight their way into contention for the family’s inheritance was no saint.
Rubbing her aching waist, Meng Lishu said, “I’m really done for now. I do good deeds all the time and get nothing in return, but the moment I do something bad, karma comes right for me.”
When Mu Chengyu arrived with a betrothal gift worth hundreds of millions to ask for her hand, the dignified man sat on the living room sofa and said, “My body is reserved for my future wife. I have no obligation to let anyone else enjoy it.”
The Meng family fell silent. Meng Lishu fell silent, too.
Remembering her former fiancé’s friendly warning, “Side with him and prosper; oppose him and perish,” Meng Lishu gritted her teeth and married him.

After secretly watching Meng Lishu for a year, Mu Chengyu confirmed that he had an uncontrollable physical urge to get close to her and make her his.
So he made his move.
Mu Chengyu wanted her, and Mu Chengyu got her.
