[Dark, obsessive, and unhinged edition]
❤️ Installment One: Three Years a Wife in Name Only, Then I Saw a Ghost at the Duke's Estate [Younger brother's wife X Disabled younger brother-in-law in a wheelchair]
I was born into a merchant family, spoiled and willful. My ancestors had once helped the old Duke of Qing, so I used that favor to marry his heir, Qi Yao, and drove away the woman he loved.
On our wedding day, Qi Yao lifted my veil with the tip of his sword in front of everyone. “You reek of money. Utterly vulgar.”
After we married, Qi Yao devoted himself to searching for the woman he loved, who had disappeared without a word. He never set foot in my room.
Three years passed. When reliable news arrived that his beloved had been found once more, everyone in the capital waited to see how I would make a scene at the duke's estate.
Instead, I left behind a divorce agreement and packed my things under cover of night.
I'm done with this duke's estate!
On a dark and windy night, I inevitably got lost inside the estate and wandered into a secluded courtyard.
As I stumbled around like a headless fly, I suddenly kicked a body that hadn't completely gone stiff yet...
❤️ Installment Two: After Leaving the Brooding, Scheming Young Master, I Was Haunted by Ghosts [Well-behaved girl X Scheming, unhinged academic genius]
To outsiders, Wen Shilu was a man of impeccable virtue, gentle as jade.
Only I knew that deep down, Wen Shilu was gloomy and obsessively possessive to the extreme.
At our high school graduation ceremony, I merely chatted with a classmate for a little too long, and he cornered me.
His long, cold fingertips gently brushed the side of my face. “A He, he stared at you for several seconds just now. Disgusting. What do you say? Should I gouge his eyes out?”
Wen Shilu was a lunatic.
So I ran, as far away from him as I could.
On the first day of university, I suddenly received a text from an unknown number, full of gibberish: [My dear A He, I've finally found you.]
“Knock, knock.”
Someone knocked on the dormitory door.
[A He, I'm here to find you.]
Stay tuned...
