Wei Yuan had always looked down on men who stole another man's wife.
Until he was ambushed and afflicted with a love Gu, and the woman he'd spent a night with turned out to be married.
The love Gu flared up every nine days, and the only way to get through it was to make love to that woman. He would have to do so nine times to break the curse.
Wei Yuan trusted his self-control. He would never commit adultery.
But he overestimated himself. When the love Gu flared and the woman was right before him, his Adam's apple bobbed. "I'm sorry. Forgive my rudeness."
Afterward, Wei Yuan began to reflect on his actions.
The second time, he covered her eyes with a thin veil, thinking it was the respect she and her husband deserved. Yet he still softly coaxed her into calling his name.
The third time, the fourth... He began to crave it.
Until one day, Wei Yuan spotted a small red mark on her neck. His eyes immediately turned cold. "He touched you?"
The next day, the woman's husband received the prince's favor and was sent away on a business trip for some time.
The woman: "..."
The prince was Wei Yuan, wasn't he?
Sure enough, as soon as her husband had left, Wei Yuan let himself into her home as if he belonged there. "I want to do it here."
Later, Wei Yuan found the antidote to the love Gu, but crushed the pill to pieces without changing his expression.
That night, he held her and lied with a straight face. "There's no cure for this Gu."
The love Gu could be cured, but she'd planted a seed of love in his heart, where it grew wildly, beyond all hope of recovery.
Wei Yuan gazed at the woman whose eyes were clouded with desire and gently lifted her chin.
"When are you getting divorced?"
"I can't wait any longer."
