   🌿🌿It wasn't until his death that Su Niansheng knew that his marriage was a scam. The school girl was deeply in love with Bai Yueguang and marrying her was just for revenge. After being reborn and returning to school, she directly returned to the richest family and got married to the prince. Unexpectedly, the male god broke her defense and came to the door with red eyes, "Shengsheng, didn't you say you only love me?" "That's because she has never had good food." The prince's bathrobe was loose, and he pressed the girl into his abs full of hickeys. He lowered his head and bit her ear affectionately, "Now you have it, eat it every day." Su Niansheng's ears turned red. After knowing each other for many years, she finally understood what it meant to truly "know the basics" and how terrifying it would be for a man she had been secretly in love with for more than ten years to explode.
