[Possessive Abduction] [Imprisoned as a Substitute] [The Second Male Lead Takes the Lead] [The Heroine Is Not Chaste, the Hero Is]
Everyone knew that Xu Yue, heir to the Marquis of Zhennan, loved Cui Qingyuan, the legitimate daughter of the Cui family.
On the day Cui Qingyuan married, Xu Yue traveled far away to clear his head. In a remote village, he came across a breathtakingly beautiful woman.
Xue Zhao was a village woman. The baby in her arms was soft and sweet, and her husband had gone to the capital to take the civil service exams. Their life was poor but peaceful.
The only problem was that her face was exactly like Cui Qingyuan's.
One thought turned into an obsession, and his desire knew no bounds.
Relying on his immense power and status, Xu Yue seized her by force.
Xue Zhao was confined to a secluded estate, reduced to a plaything in a cage.
"..."
When Cui Qingyuan returned after divorcing her husband, she married into the Marquis of Zhennan's household in a grand ceremony and became Xu Yue's wife.
Cui Qingyuan parted her lips with a faint, teasing smile. "Husband, she looks the most like me. Why not let her bear heirs for the marquis's house in my place?"
Xu Yue agreed.
Night after night, he tormented her, wearing her down step by step.
Everyone in the city praised Cui Qingyuan for her good fortune. Her children were beautiful, intelligent, and gifted.
No one knew that every one of them had been born to Xue Zhao.
At first, Xu Yue coveted only her peerless beauty and treated her as a substitute to satisfy his obsession.
But after keeping her captive day and night and spending countless nights with her, the obsessive and cold Xu Yue had quietly fallen for her.
Obsessed and crazed, he wielded all his power and tenderness in an attempt to make Xue Zhao love him too.
But all that remained in Xue Zhao's heart was a sea of blood and vengeance. She had never felt the slightest affection for him.
She waited for a chance to escape and return to the husband who had waited for her for years.
When all the splendor faded,
Xu Yue knelt before her and begged desperately. He even hurt himself in public, all just to make her turn back.
