[Devoted to Each Other + Sweet Romance + Marriage Before Love + Age Gap]
At eighteen, Xu Yi lived under someone else's roof, harassed by her stepfather and bullied by her stepsister, while her own mother turned a blind eye.
At twenty-five, Xu Yi was rebellious to the core. She seduced her stepsister's boyfriend, danced all over her mother's head, and married her stepfather's sworn enemy, determined to grind her stepfather's family underfoot.
She thought that once her new husband realized she had ulterior motives, he would hate her and cast her aside like her mother had.
But after an intensely intimate night, the man placed a stack of documents in her hands.
They laid out all her enemies' assets and weaknesses.
"Want revenge? Everything you need is right here."
Shocked, Xu Yi tried to explain herself, but he spoke again.
"You can use me. But once you're done, you're mine."

Pei Jue, the king of Beijing's elite circle, was ruthless and cunning.
Everyone said he was born to rule and never bowed his head.
He had made an exception for only one person.
On the surface, Xu Yi was his sweet, gracious wife, equally at ease hosting guests and cooking in the kitchen.
In reality, every time she approached him, it was part of a carefully planned revenge scheme.
Only later did Xu Yi learn that Pei Jue had seen through everything from the start. He hadn't agreed to help because she tricked him, but because he wanted to.
He had been waiting for her for many years.
