Word has it that the Prime Minister's manor has welcomed a new mistress. The moonlike Prime Minister Xie pampers her with countless treasures every day, afraid she'll suffer the slightest grievance. She is the apple of his eye.
Everyone knows that Xie Hengzhi is deeply devoted to his wife, making countless people envious. But only Shen Fuyao knows that she's merely a bird in a cage. Beneath her seemingly glamorous life, she has no freedom at all.
Xie Hengzhi keeps her imprisoned by his side, telling her over and over of his endless affection. Yet it was that very love he speaks of that ruined her family and sent her tumbling from the treetops into the mud.
And he blames it all on love?
How absurd!
Xie Hengzhi draws her into his arms, holding her in an utterly possessive embrace, their fingers interlaced. He lowers his head and gently bites her earlobe, whispering of his nearly obsessive love as they nuzzle together.
“You are the mistress of the Prime Minister's manor, and the wife I married in a proper ceremony. A Yao, you and I are destined to be bound together for life.”
