A Cold-Hearted Scoundrel & a Spiteful Heiress
[Both Virgins + His Sole Devotion + Marriage First, Love Later + He Pursues Her + Older Daddy]
Her family forced Zhu Tingyi to break up with her boyfriend of two years and marry Shen Zongyan, the head of the top-tier Shen family in Jingbei.
Shen Zongyan was the most distinguished and influential man in the prominent families' circle. With a face so breathtakingly handsome it seemed unreal, he was the dream man of countless socialites in Jingbei.
Zhu Tingyi hated Shen Zongyan for ruining her love. Aside from taking care of her physical needs, she was almost always cold to him. She even used his money to pamper her ex-boyfriend.
She was the only person in all of Jingbei who dared treat him that way.
After she threatened to kill herself and demanded a divorce countless times, Shen Zongyan finally gave in.
The night before the divorce, she began having strange, unsettling dreams. In them, her ex-boyfriend and her best friend conspired to bankrupt the Zhu family, while Shen Zongyan died in a sea of flames trying to save her.
Zhu Tingyi woke with a start.
Beside the bed, the man spoke in a cool voice, barely containing his emotions. "Didn't you want a divorce?"
Zhu Tingyi was still shaken. "I've changed my mind for now."

Shen Zongyan realized that Zhu Tingyi was starting to focus her attention on him.
He began wanting more. She wasn't allowed to see her ex, praise anyone else in front of him, go missing for more than three hours, or say she didn't need him...
He kept pushing his luck, growing more possessive by the day.
When her ex provoked him, he sneered, "Why don't you just go die?"
"My wife is young. If a piece of trash seduced her, it's because I didn't keep a close enough watch."
"How do you think I should deal with this piece of trash?"

Greed can never be satisfied. At first, Shen Zongyan only wanted her to stay by his side.
Later, he was willing to stoop to anything just to be loved.
