Mingyue had been childhood friends with the young master of the Lin family since they were little. But on the eve of their wedding, her fiancé brought home a beautiful courtesan from Yangzhou. The beauty gazed at her softly and paid her respects, and Mingyue realized she was nothing more than a bargaining chip her fiancé used to secure his place in the Lin family.
If she had to rely on someone, why not rely directly on the true head of the Lin family, the battle-hardened General Jing Xushuang?
Ruan Zhaozhao gritted her teeth and rushed to her fiancé’s uncle’s wheelchair, begging him for a marriage contract.
But the man’s eyes were dark, his gaze bloodthirsty as he gripped her wrist tightly. “Do you know that I’m crippled in both legs and can no longer perform as a man?”
Ruan Zhaozhao patted her chest. “How about you and I give it a try?”
After their wedding, Ruan Zhaozhao finally understood what everyone meant when they said her uncle was cold and dark by nature. No matter how warmly Mingyue treated him, he remained unmoved.
A year later, Mingyue couldn’t take it anymore. Just as she had once stood before him and asked for a marriage contract, she bravely appeared before his wheelchair again. This time, she wanted a divorce.
But Mingyue saw the man’s face twist with a madness she had never seen before. He pulled her onto his lap in the wheelchair, leaving restrained red marks on her neck. Covering her increasingly rounded belly, he asked in a trembling voice, eyes red, “Wife, where are you going with our child?”
“Wait, weren’t you unable to perform as a man? I’ve just gained weight!”
