Prince He Fan of Jing, with his flawless bearing and cool, refined elegance, was the unattainable moon in the hearts of every noble young lady in the capital.
But the moon already had someone waiting for him: Ying Yueyang, the daughter of the Censor's family.
They were a perfect match, admired by everyone in the capital, and only had to wait for Ying Yueyang's mourning period to end before their wedding.
One day, Ying Yueyang was wronged at home and went to her betrothed to complain about how domineering and rude her half-sister was, how she bullied and humiliated her.
He Fan listened with lowered eyes and comforted her gently, as cool and composed as ever.
Only after she had left did a flushed little face slowly emerge from beneath the tablecloth.
The beauty's dark hair was mussed, her sash undone, and ambiguous red marks covered her body.
With her delicate looks and pale, flawless skin, she was none other than the half-sister Ying Yueyang had just called domineering and rude.
The Prince of Jing, who had seemed so aloof and proper just moments before, now had nothing but dark desire in his eyes. He grabbed that slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her fiercely and relentlessly, as if he meant to devour her.
.
Ying Xuewu was born into lowly circumstances. Her parents showed her no affection, and the world looked down on her, but she had never accepted her fate.
At first, she set her sights on He Fan because he was her elder half-sister's beloved. It was driven by greed and a desire for revenge.
But His Highness the Prince was truly too heartless. Even after they had shared a bed, he remained cold toward her outside it.
She knew He Fan only saw her as a means of satisfying his desires. Luckily, they were both getting what they wanted. Once everything was settled, she planned to leave.
Who would have thought that on the day she left the capital, before she had even traveled a few miles, hundreds of soldiers would block her path?
The man's face was dark, and there was a faintly feverish look in his eyes. He seemed utterly mad.
"To use me and throw me away? Ah Wu, how heartless of you."
"You seduced me and now you want to leave. Did you ask me first?"
He chuckled and reached out to grip her by the throat. "Even if you think of me as a dog, you can't just cast me aside so easily."
.
At first, He Fan detested his sister-in-law-to-be.
Unlike his dignified and gracious betrothed, Ying Xuewu was cunning and deceitful. She seemed aloof and gentle, but in truth she was audacious and dared anything.
Worse, she repeatedly seduced him behind her sister's back, coming up with one shameless trick after another. It was revolting.
But in the end, he was the one who pinned her deep within the bed curtains and kissed her over and over, pleading with her not to leave.
