[Five-Year Age Gap + Coercive Love + Both Pure + Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium + Business Marriage + Powerful, Wealthy Family + Marriage Before Love + Reconciliation After a Breakup]
[Gentle, Compliant White Lotus x Violent, Obsessive Business Tycoon]
A business marriage binds Chen Shengmo, the Chen family's cherished daughter, tightly to Huo Yanzhou, head of the Huo family.
At twenty-one, she is gentle and quiet, trapped in the machinations of the wealthy with no control over her own life. She thinks it is merely an exchange of family interests, unaware that she is caught up in an old, bloody vendetta.
Years ago, Chen Zeyuan schemed against the Huo family, indirectly causing Huo Yanzhou's parents to die in a car accident.
Consumed by hatred, he takes all his vengeance out on the innocent Chen Shengmo, forcibly keeping her captive, tormenting her at every turn, and obsessively controlling her entire life.
On the eve of the wedding, twenty-two-year-old Chen Shengmo accidentally uncovers the truth about her birth.
She is actually the biological daughter of Lin Han and Song Junxi. Her parents were both killed by Chen Zeyuan, and even her name was forcibly changed.
Seeing through her hypocritical family and the fate that binds her to them, she completely breaks down. She flees in the middle of the night, drives off a cliff, and vanishes without a trace.
The five years she is gone are a time of endless desolation and regret for Huo Yanzhou.
When they meet again, the once-suppressed girl who lived in a cage has become a gentle, composed university lecturer.
Their love and hatred remain entangled, and fate is hard to escape. This time, he will give everything he has to win back the one person who could save him, and beg her to return to him.
"For you, I would willingly bow my head."
P.S. This book is entirely fictional and unrelated to real life. It is melodramatic and has no moral compass. It is not about a strong female lead and contains coercive love. Please don't read if that's not for you. Thank you for your support.
