Possessive pursuit | The powerful one bows his head | A fierce rivalry between men | Faking death to escape
In the bitter heat of June, a torrential downpour came crashing down, and everyone on the street hurried to find shelter.
Jin Queyu hastily gathered up the things she had left outside. When she turned around, she saw someone walking through the downpour, looking utterly pitiful.
Moved by compassion, Jin Queyu held out her umbrella.
"Sir, it's raining so hard today. You should take this umbrella."
Xiao Jin froze for a moment, then took the handle. His somber eyes lingered on the person before him for a long time.
His thumb rubbed the warmth left behind, but the lingering warmth on the umbrella handle had already faded away.
Jin Queyu soon forgot all about it. But when she woke again, she was trapped in an unfamiliar residence, with shackles even locked around her ankles!

Only later did she learn that the man had mistaken her for someone else. The person who had offered him an umbrella when he was a child hadn't been her.
Xiao Jin watched as she kept trying to explain. His face turned cold as he said softly that she had simply forgotten.
But only he knew that the childhood encounter and the bond formed by offering an umbrella had never happened at all.
It was all just an excuse he had made up so he could keep her imprisoned by his side.
Content warnings: 1. The male lead is a thoroughly backward product of a feudal society and will stop at nothing.
2. The romance takes center stage, with little plot.
3. Extremely melodramatic, melodramatic, melodramatic. Everything serves the romance.
4. The setting is fictional, so no need to worry about historical accuracy.
Theme: Devotion to one person
