Wen Yan loved Lu Xiaohan for ten years, and spent all ten years humbling herself for him.
After being caught in a scheme, she got her wish and married him, only to become the most contemptible “substitute bride” in his eyes.
Throughout their three-year marriage, he took whatever he wanted from her in bed, but treated her like dirt outside it.
He hated her for ruining his chance to be with the woman he truly loved. He humiliated her with the cruelest words, kept her trapped at his side, and tormented her night after night.
She thought that if she was obedient enough, one day she could warm his icy heart.
Until one night, outside a private room, she heard him tell his friends with her own ears, “Wen Yan? She’s just a bedmate. A divorce would be for the best.”
In that moment, all her love crumbled to dust.
She signed the divorce papers and vanished without a trace.
Later, when Lu Xiaohan’s beloved returned to the country in a blaze of publicity, he searched for Wen Yan all over the world like a madman.
When they met again, she was pregnant and nestled against another man, smiling with gentle grace.
The man who had once been so arrogant pinned her against a wall, eyes red and voice hoarse. “A Yan, the baby is mine. Come home with me.”
Wen Yan gently pushed him away, smiling with cool politeness. “Mr. Lu, please behave yourself. My husband might get the wrong idea.”
