[Money-loving little miser vs. cold-faced high-ranking official, her husband's elder brother]
Xue Caiyi had already made up her mind on the day she married into the Duke's mansion.
She'd save up enough money and then leave.
She wouldn't get involved in the household's affairs. Her husband was a wastrel, which was perfect, and there were no parents-in-law to deal with, while her sisters-in-law were nothing to fear. The only one who made her heart skip a beat was her always cold-faced elder brother-in-law.
Fortunately, he was a pillar of the court and always busy, so she could focus on making money in peace.
But later, he cornered her against a wall, his hoarse voice like thunder in her ear: "I was the one who chose you back then."
Only then did Xue Caiyi realize she'd gotten the math wrong.
Her carefully calculated three-year escape plan had all fallen apart because of one man.
Little scene 1:
Behind the embroidery shop.
The laughter and chatter of customers choosing fabrics came through the thin wall.
He pinned Xue Caiyi against the wall, her back pressed to the blue bricks, and lowered his head to kiss her.
She bit him. He didn't dodge, and the taste of blood spread between their lips.
She raised her hand and slapped him. The sound rang out sharply, and the customers on the other side of the wall fell silent for a moment.
Overcome with shame and anger, she lowered her voice. "I'm your..."
He raised a hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth, his fingertip brushing her lower lip. His voice was unbearably hoarse.
Over and over, he could only say one thing: he begged her to love him.
P.S. The female lead and her husband will only become intimate and develop feelings beyond familial affection after she divorces him.
