Possessive pursuit | Marriage before love | Obsessive possession | The long road to winning her back
The day Cheng Shuyi married Mu Zheng, autumn rain fell unceasingly over Jinling.
Everyone said that the daughter of an impoverished professor was lucky beyond measure to marry into the Mu family, the most powerful clan in Jinling.
Only she knew that this marriage contract was her surrender to fate after her former love had abandoned her.
Mu Zheng kept her at his side like a prisoner, cold to the bone, every word a barb:
“You like frail scholars, yet you married a soldier like me.”
She thought their marriage had nothing left but endless humiliation and deep-seated hatred.
Until he risked his life for her and kept vigil at her bedside all night. By the Qinhuai River, he kissed her with painstaking care, setting aside all pride as he asked:
“Shuyi, can we try to make this work?”
It turned out that behind the cruelest things he had said was a love he could never bear to confess.
She almost truly believed him.
Until the truth came crashing to light:
The scandal that had ruined her engagement and driven her into a desperate corner had never been an accident.
From the moment he caught sight of her on the Qinhuai River, he had already decided she would be his.
This marriage, which began with his taking her by force, was his cage for her;
It was also the trap he made for himself, one from which there could be no escape.
