Bad ending

Zhou Xueshao had just set a wedding date with her fiance when she discovered that he had an unusually close relationship with his distant cousin.

She asked to break off the engagement, but to no avail.

The matter escalated and caused a scandal. Her family urged her to be magnanimous. Fortunately, a letter arrived from her maternal grandfather, who lived far away in Yuanzhou. She used it as an excuse to leave the capital, and the matter of breaking off the engagement was put on hold.

Wei Xiang was passing through Yuanzhou. He had just set down the painting in his hands when he saw the eldest daughter of the Duke's Mansion, as beautiful as a peony.

As the painted boat rocked, he stepped forward to steady his future sister-in-law. "Miss Zhou, be careful," he reminded her kindly, his tone gentle.

And she knew how to repay a kindness. That very night, she knocked on his door.

They were supposed to be no more than strangers who had met by chance, but Wei Xiang's gaze grew increasingly possessive and predatory.

She left without saying goodbye, only to see him again at the Duke's Mansion, sitting across from her father and chatting cheerfully. He cast her a distant glance, his meaning unclear.

Only then did she learn that he was the heir to the Prince of Yunyang, a powerful court official, and also her future husband's younger brother, her brother-in-law...

The day before her wedding, Zhou Xueshao was abducted.

The carriage sped through the night.

When she opened her eyes and saw the man before her, she froze. "Wei Xiang!"

He tightened his hold around her waist, and a soft moan escaped her lips. Wei Xiang corrected her, word by word: "Back then, you called me husband."

Bonus scene:

After the engagement was broken off, Wei Heng looked back on the past and regretted what he had done. He came to beg her forgiveness.

Separated by a single door, Wei Xiang forced the man into a corner. His expression remained gentle and smiling, but his hands showed no mercy.

The woman's skirts fell open, revealing a spring-like scene, as if ice had melted and flowed away.

"You're crazy," Zhou Xueshao said hoarsely.

"Yes. I'm crazy. Now, call me husband."
