A Beauty Like a Flower

(Main story complete.) The Pan family fell into ruin, and overnight Pan Rao went from being the most beautiful woman in the capital to the daughter of a convicted official. She ended up in the countryside and was eventually forced to marry the local wealthy merchant, Fu Shi'an. Young Master Fu was breathtakingly beautiful, but held no official position. Everyone was waiting to laugh at Pan Rao. Then, one day, Young Master Fu reclaimed his place in his family, and Pan Rao became a princess consort to the imperial grandson. At first, Pan Rao thought she and Young Master Fu were merely husband and wife in name, and that they would part sooner or later. He had someone he loved, and her own fiance would come for her soon. Until one day, Young Master Fu pinned her against a wall, his phoenix eyes lowered, his voice cold and cutting. "Don't think about him again. Every time you do, I'll punish you." Only then did she realize that he had planned their marriage from the very beginning. He would punish her relentlessly until she cried and begged him to stop. He would also lower his noble head and crouch beside the footbath, washing her feet with his own hands, gentle and patient. A seemingly mild-mannered but secretly cold and calculating man who dotes on his wife vs. a beautiful, gentle, and adorable young lady This novel is full of pampering, flirtation, and sweetness. A few things to note: 1. The male lead is ruthless and vicious, absolutely no good guy. 2. The male and female leads gradually regain memories of their past lives (so, sort of reborn). 3. I really am writing this novel seriously! [Announcement: The novel will go VIP on Friday, April 24. I'll be posting a ten-thousand-word update that day. I hope you'll support the official release.
