Jiang Yuwei follows her mother into the Ji family after her mother remarries. Living under someone else's roof, she watches her words and acts obedient and sensible.

But only she knows that a "demon" lives inside her.

From the first night she meets Song Hexiu, she can't take her eyes off him.

He's her stepbrother's childhood friend. After he looks out for her a few times, Jiang Yuwei's gaze coils around him like a venomous snake lurking in the dark. She wants to seduce him, kiss him, bite him, and possess him completely!

-

Song Hexiu, the only son of the Song family, has been groomed as its heir since childhood. A brilliant young gentleman from an illustrious circle, he is refined and courteous, warm and cultivated.

Plenty of people covet him.

Song Hexiu's phone often receives cryptic messages.

For nearly five years, one unknown number has kept sending texts full of desire, resentment, and threats.

The more explicit the harassment, the more timid the girl acts in front of him.

On their first night as newlyweds, Song Hexiu suddenly remembers the texts she once sent him: "All talk and no action! So full of yourself! I'm going to ruin you!!"

But now, the woman's fair cheeks are flushed, her long, curled lashes trembling. She doesn't even dare meet his gaze as she tentatively asks, "Honey, can we bathe together?"

How could someone this timid have dared to marry him?

The next second, Song Hexiu bites her earlobe. Watching her tremble uncontrollably, his gaze grows ever more intense.

-

After they marry, Jiang Yuwei feels that something is increasingly off.

Her husband is completely shameless. At home, he never dresses properly, and within days, her hand has slipped inside his half-open bathrobe. He also lets her hug him, kiss him, and tease him, as if she can do whatever she wants. And for some time now, Jiang Yuwei has woken up each morning to find marks of varying shades all over her body.

Later, in the deep of night, the man grips her waist and looks up at her with a smile. "Didn't you say you were going to ruin me? That's all you've got?"

Only then does Jiang Yuwei realize she's provoked a man ten times darker and more domineering than she is. He has one ruthless trick after another, and Jiang Yuwei simply can't handle him. She plans to run away.

But the next day, the man catches her at the airport. He gently rubs his large hand over her soft hair, bends down, and obsessively inhales her sweet scent. "Wife, why are you running? Didn't you say you couldn't live without me?"

Jiang Yuwei pushes him. "When did I ever say that?"

"But what am I supposed to do?" Song Hexiu pins both her hands behind her back. Smiling behind his glasses, he murmurs slowly, "I can't live without you."

"Run away again, and I'll lock you up. How about that?"

"..."

*He longs to possess her completely.*
