Nowhere to Hide (Reborn)

An Jiawen had never imagined that Bo Fuchuan was a beast. He had gone to such lengths to get her only so he could torment her.

She married him with all her heart, only to see her family destroyed and imprisoned. He trampled her head beneath his foot, made her kneel and serve him water, beat her with sticks at the slightest excuse, and even demanded that she laugh while she cried.

Later, she became pregnant. She thought that after years of enduring humiliation, she might finally move him, if only for a moment. Instead, all she got was this:

"Get rid of it. She doesn't deserve it."

Later, she died, and he went mad.

Before the mourning period was even over, Bo Fuchuan met another woman, one whose every gesture and movement was exactly like An Jiawen's.

After tormenting her countless times, he finally chased her back in a desperate attempt to win her over. But An Jiawen tormented him in turn, over and over. She no longer loved him, and erased their past along with it, refusing to acknowledge any of it to her dying breath.

He tried to awaken her memories, begging her to say his name just once. He would have been happy even if she hated him, but An Jiawen...

said nothing.

An accident left An Jiawen with amnesia, and she forgot the grudges between them. Bo Fuchuan smiled with relief. He thought they could start over. Every day, he fussed over her, hoping to warm her long-frozen heart, his tone already reduced to abject humility.

But he didn't know that An Jiawen had never lost her memories. Everything after she was reborn was a carefully laid trap, and he had long since become a pawn in her hands:

She would torment him in body and soul, make him experience the pain of loving someone he could never have, of having his sincerity trampled, and of begging for affection on his knees.

She would make him willingly turn himself over to the authorities and face execution, until his sincerity and love had nowhere to hide.

1. One-on-one romance, with a groveling pursuit after the wife leaves. The story focuses on the romance and is not very long.

2. Content warning: The male lead is an obsessive, refined scoundrel with a strong possessive streak and controlling tendencies. There is a major twist later on. Don't be fooled by his early facade: he really is vicious and ruthless.

Theme: Cherish this connection.
