Forced possession / marriage before love / the crematorium trope
A powerful man, fully aware of himself, willingly loses himself to love
[Stunning Beauty x Hypocrite]
Yu Chuhe's elders arranged her marriage when she was a child. The man she was betrothed to was an influential court official. Rumor had it that he was noble and refined, brilliantly talented, and the very picture of a gentleman.
Everyone in the neighborhood said she had a wonderful match. Her betrothed was not only talented, but also as handsome as a heavenly being. He had no concubines, and after marrying into his household, she would not have to worry much about managing the inner quarters. The noble ladies of the capital were terribly envious.
Her parents had made the match, and the matchmaker had sealed it. Yu Chuhe figured she would have to marry sooner or later, so she had no objections. Hearing what people said, she thought marrying him might not be so bad.
And so, when Yu Chuhe came of age, she entered his household. Her mother-in-law disliked her, her husband did not love her, and at first he treated her with considerable disdain.
Looking at a life whose end she could already see, Yu Chuhe resolved to divorce him.
But then an accident happened. That night... beneath the warm red canopy and candlelight, the two clung tightly to each other in bed.
Afterward, he could no longer hold back. He had no sense of restraint. Gazing at the soft, fragrant beauty in his arms, he wanted more and more to keep her locked against him.
Only then did Yu Chuhe finally see what kind of man she had married.
He was no refined gentleman at all. He was a sick, obsessive madman.
She secretly vowed to escape this place and get away from him.
She asked him for a divorce, but he fell to his knees and begged her to stay. His eyes were bloodshot as he spoke softly: "Don't leave me. Don't divorce me, please."
She ran.
But wherever she fled, he always found her and brought her back, keeping her locked by his side.
Once, after going to great lengths to escape Xie Qingyu's grasp, she had barely caught her breath when a tall figure blocked her view.
Xie Qingyu approached, radiating a bone-chilling cold, and said icily, "My lady, where will you run to this time?"
