After Claiming My Aloof Husband

Meng Yinghuai, heir to the Northern Zhou, was breathtakingly beautiful, like a snow-covered peak no one could reach. Qu Ning, forced into the manor as his heir's wife, also thought their marriage was just an act, with no real affection involved. But Qu Ning was hiding a wildly improper secret in her heart. Whenever night fell and all was quiet, she would gaze at her husband beneath the lamplight, his profile distant and aloof, not even letting her touch his fingertips, and secretly drag him into the forbidden tales of 'taking someone by force' that she read in her imagination. She thought her secret would never see the light of day. Until one day, on their way home. The man who had always seemed so untouchable was breathing unevenly, his dark lashes damp.

Until an old friend she had not seen in years returned, and Qu Ning ran into his arms, sobbing uncontrollably. The jade ring on the heir's finger shattered. Without a change in expression, he pulled her back to him. In the sunlight, the young man lifted his eyes and leisurely fixed his gaze on Meng Yinghuai. He smiled sweetly. “I'm only giving my sister a hug. Surely brother-in-law isn't that petty?” Meng Yinghuai gently wiped the blood from his fingers and smiled with practiced warmth. “Of course not.” That night, the moonlight was cold and still. Meng Yinghuai opened the secret compartment in her dressing case and laid out all the evidence of her crimes before her. He patted the desk piled high with official documents and beckoned her over. “Zhaozhao, come here.” Timid little pervert x repressed, aloof beauty forced to fall Marriage first, love later | Mutual surrender, body and soul | Jealousy | Falling | Losing one's inhibitions [Reading Guide] 1. Monogamous pairing, both leads virgins, happy ending. Sweet with a touch of angst. The male lead suffers, not the female lead. 2. The male lead will take care of everything for the female lead and pave the way for her to leave, even preparing an escape route for the male rival. 3. The male lead is proper, the female lead is not. He indulges her games, usually taking the lead himself. Mostly, he plays along with her for his own enjoyment (not really), though he occasionally loses control. ↓↓Coming Soon↓↓ [Coming Soon: His Brother, the White Moonlight I Used and Discarded] ◎ We have the same face.
