Deep Trap

[The neighboring novel True Lies is now updating. If you're interested, go check it out!]

Drunk at a bar, Lu Can sized up the server before him. Tall and handsome, with neatly cropped hair, he shyly looked away when Lu Can's gaze brushed over him. Like a silent tree, he seemed just the sort of person you could use to heal a broken heart.

Little did Lu Can know that the moment he first brought Ji Mingze home, hunter and prey had quietly switched places.

.

Ji Mingze had deceived Lu Can more than once.

He had a gruesome scar on his back, closed with 87 stitches.

For the past eight years, Lu Can had never known it was for his sake.

Next novel: Didi Substitute Bride. Please add it to your favorites~

To earn money for her grandmother's lifesaving treatment, Shi Qing starts a new business: acting as a substitute bride for Omegas.

With her incredible acting skills, Shi Qing moves among a crowd of Alphas without leaving so much as a fallen leaf behind, and she can handle even these situations↓↓

Son of the richest man in the Interstellar Alliance: "Hah, man, you keep rejecting me because you want to get my attention."

Superstar cutie: "My greatest wish is to have an older brother. Could you... be my big brother?"

Interstellar pirate: "Kid, what time's your curfew? Let me take you on a space adventure."

Yandere duke: "Good child, kneel obediently by my side."

Until one day, her little scheme is accidentally exposed.

Every one of these guys goes crazy.

*

With Alphas searching for her all over the galaxy, Shi Qing can only turn to her father's superior, Marshal Fu Mingxian, for help.

Marshal Fu is cold and ruthless, and has always disapproved of the debauched Shi Qing. Remembering that her late subordinate had served loyally, he coldly throws out three words: "Marry me."

"Understood," Shi Qing says, letting her long hair down. "But you'll have to pay if you want me to marry you."

Fu Mingxian disapproves of that look even more. "Tie your hair up, or I'll cut it off myself!"

Later...

Fu Mingxian takes a lock of Shi Qing's long hair in his mouth, winding it around his fingertip with the utmost tenderness.

With a gun in each hand, Shi Qing stands shoulder to shoulder with him. "Marshal, I said you'd have to pay if you want me to marry you. You can't play with my hair for free."

"Take whatever you want," Fu Mingxian murmurs into her ear. "I'm yours."

The two words engraved in my bones and blood for all my life: loyalty, love.
