    At the wedding, I overheard the groom bragging to his brothers, "Her ex-boyfriend never even touched her, she's spotless." That's when I realized he wasn't marrying me, but the 30 million yuan compensation my father left behind. I took off all my jewelry and walked through the wedding with a bare face. On my wedding night, I locked my bedroom door and dialed a number I hadn't touched in seven years: "Did you say that?" There was a long silence on the other end, then his voice, sharp and laced with undercurrents, came through: "If I've ever touched a single hair on your head, may I die a horrible death—but your Zhou Xushen, he's even dirtier than me."
