In her first year of college, Lu Yanzhi spotted Shen Lue in a crowd and fell for him at first sight.

He was confident and charming, everything she found attractive.

Lu Yanzhi pulled out all the stops, pursued him relentlessly, and made him hers.

Later, when her family was struck by sudden misfortune, Lu Yanzhi panicked and ended things with Shen Lue in a most humiliating way.

She thought that a proud guy like Shen Lue would hardly be bothered by getting dumped once. He could just chalk it up to life experience.

Seven years later, when they met again, he confronted her, and she fired back without hesitation.

“We were young and foolish and made a mistake. Since things are going pretty well for us now, there’s no need to get back together, right?”

·

She didn’t know that the night he heard those words, the condition he’d struggled to keep under control flared up again and again.

For most of the years since, he had suffered repeated physical and psychological torment, sinking into a world without light.

He had fought with all his strength to hold back his resentment and pretend to be normal when he came back into her life, only to be met with her judgment of their past as a mistake.

·

He wanted to let go too, but...

On a rainy night in late spring, Lu Yanzhi tackled Shen Lue, who was trembling with anger.

She pinned down his disabled, powerless right hand and kissed his horrible scars without the slightest finesse.

At dawn in early summer, she burst into a sealed, pitch-black room,

cupped his face in her hands, and revisited every tender moment that had once made them tremble.

At last, Shen Lue woke from his long despair and endless numbness.

“Lu Yanzhi, please don’t give up on me this time. Okay?”

Glamorous, self-interested photographer × powerful older man

Age gap | Marriage before love | Long-planned seduction | Pretend becomes real

#Also known as: Marrying My Ex’s Uncle Before I Remarry?!

“Marry me. I can help you.”

Chi Zhen stared at the man across from her, unable to hide her confusion.

Liang Songnian was her boyfriend’s uncle. Her ex-boyfriend’s uncle, that is.

Ten years ago, rumor had it, he was the most dazzling rising star in the capital.

Then an accident left him with multiple shattered bones after a fall from a great height. He could no longer walk properly and had rarely appeared in public since.

Chi Zhen had seen him only twice at Liang family banquets. He was arrogant, cold, strange, and taciturn.

Now that she was caught in a scandal and everyone else was keeping their distance, he was willing to offer a helping hand. It was hard not to wonder what he wanted.

But whatever his intentions, she didn’t mind.

Chi Zhen was a photographer from a small town. Just breaking into her current social circle had been difficult. If she wanted to establish herself in the capital, she needed an even stronger stepping stone.

Liang Songnian was aloof, not particularly strong, wealthy, and safe. He seemed like a good choice.

*

One day after they were married, she ran into her ex-boyfriend at a party and exchanged a few pleasantries. By the time she drove home, it was already late at night.

The villa was pitch-black. A large hand pulled Chi Zhen into its owner’s arms.

Liang Songnian’s presence pressed in on her, their hot breaths mingling.

His movements were forceful, his voice hoarse, almost savage. “Is having me not enough? Why do you still have to see him?”
