Seriously? We Met Once, and Now You Want to Marry Me?

[Possessive pursuit / love at first sight / marriage before love / all or nothing]

Shen Qingyuan had been adored by everyone since birth. Her status was the most exalted, and she was revered by all. She had always thought she would marry a gentle and refined husband.

Who knew she'd be snatched away by a devil she'd met only once!

Pei Ci had never been treated well in his life. His mother died young, his father favored his concubine and neglected his wife, and even the grandmother who was the only one to care for him died because of him. Everyone called him a curse and a calamity, saying that anyone who got close to him would meet with disaster.

He'd thought he deserved to live in the gutter, unworthy of anyone's regard.

But just when he was at his most desperate, the bright moon hanging high in the sky cast down its light and gently pulled him up.

He grew addicted to that warmth, only to realize she shared her light with too many people.

He was consumed with jealousy!

No matter. He would imprison the moon at his side, even if he had to do it by force, so that she would shine for him alone.

On their wedding night, he pressed close to her, pleading, "Yuan'er, won't you smile at me?"

She turned her face away coldly. "Pei Ci, we're not right for each other."

He held her chin, his smile icy. "There's only one way to find out."

Later, he clung to her like a dying beast. "I'm a madman. No one would want me."

But she wrapped her arms around his back. "I would."

Shen Qingyuan knew perfectly well that Pei Ci was a mad dog, one who could turn on even his own family when he lost control.

But this mad dog obediently placed his collar in her hands, letting her lead him east and daring not to go west. If he was destined to go mad, then she'd go mad right alongside him!
