    Reader note

    As autumn deepened, a bone-chilling cold permeated Haicheng. Song Huan stepped out of prison, and the prison guard's words, "Be a good person," became the warmest words she'd heard in three years. Having tasted the world's malice, she clutched her luggage and walked alone. Across the road, under a maple tree, a black luxury car stood out starkly. Song Huan pretended not to see it, wanting only to escape it all. But fate played a cruel trick; a pair of expensive leather shoes appeared before her. She looked up and met Fu Chennian's cold eyes, her whole body trembling uncontrollably. Once upon a time, they were a loving couple, but a conspiracy had imprisoned Song Huan, subjecting her to three years of torture. After her release, she was utterly exhausted, hoping to leave the past behind, but Fu Chennian forcefully barged back in. Now, he exuded endless coldness, devoid of any former warmth. And he was forcing her to have a third child—what conspiracy lay behind this? Was it revenge, or something else entirely? Caught in this vortex of love and hate, what choice would Song Huan make? Will they sink into despair again, or fight their way out? "After My Release from Prison, My Richest Husband Forced Me to Have a Third Child" takes you into this heart-wrenching love story, letting you feel the extreme tug-of-war between their love and hate.
