[Gu Zhishan's Version]

Born into a family of nobility, Gu Zhishan was wild and unruly, currying favor with the powerful. He had risen to the highest rank in the government before he was even twenty-five.

Everyone who mentioned him called him cruel and vicious.

Gu Zhishan himself thought he was destined to die without heirs, with no one to make offerings at his grave.

Who would have thought that a simple trip to the Hanlin Academy scholar's home, where he drank a couple of celebratory toasts, would make him set his sights on the bride?

Everyone urged him to bring the breathtaking beauty back to his own residence. Only Gu Zhishan scoffed. She was already his, so how could she possibly get away?

But later, when he heard that Young Master Huang was scouring the world for treasures just to make the beauty smile, Gu Zhishan, usually a man who had everything planned, kicked open the Huang family's front gate and stormed in.

[Liu Yuerong's Version]

Liu Yuerong had always been dealt a harsh lot in life. After bringing about her parents' deaths, she finally managed to marry, and shyly accepted her husband's affection.

But who could have guessed that, on a stormy night, the man who took her was her husband's superior?

A woman who had lost her chastity had no place in the world. To survive, Liu Yuerong tried to seduce the lofty man above her.

The man was cold and impossible to approach. After failing again and again, she prepared to meet her death without regret.

Then the man came through wind and rain, his fingertips icy as he cornered her against the wall.

"You've stolen my heart. Are you going to take my life too?"

Fine, then. You can have it, all of it.

He was unyielding and invincible all his life, and she was the one person who could make him bend.

The day before she was due to ride in the bridal sedan, Gu Zheng had a dream.

The man she was going to marry, Song Lin, was a frail scholar who had risen from nothing to gain influence over the empire. He was a notorious unscrupulous merchant whom everyone at court wanted dead.

Worse still, he treated her terribly, with one concubine after another and one courtesan after another. The fragrance of rouge and powder practically made people faint at the entrance to the Song residence.

Fortunately, the good times did not last. Song Lin plotted a rebellion and was executed by a thousand cuts, dying a horrible death. As for Gu Zheng, she had no children, and after her husband died, she was sold off too.

Gu Zheng woke trembling. Looking at her parents, who doted on her like she was their life, she gritted her teeth and decided that once she married into the Song family, she would coax her husband into giving her a few children.

Once he died, his fortune, rich enough to rival a kingdom, would all be hers.

But after marrying into the Song family, Gu Zheng kept biting her handkerchief and longing to consummate her marriage, and the more she looked at her husband, the more something seemed off.

Rubbing her aching lower back, she wondered: Wasn't her husband supposed to die?

Why was he still alive?

Not only was he still alive, he'd even learned to climb into her bed at night. T_T
