[Blurb]
Nan Huan is one of Rongcheng's richest heiresses, a pampered young lady from birth. A free spirit who has had “eat, drink, and be merry” written across her forehead since childhood, she sees marriage as the very definition of all evil.
“Nan ‘Frasqui’ Huan says marriage is the graveyard of freedom.”
“Life is hard enough already. Why would I go out of my way to get myself killed?!”
“Marry Fu Mingli?” Nan Huan scoffed. “Living with that deadpan face that could double as a framed portrait for his funeral is worse than death!!!”
But before long, her family's business fell into crisis. Faced with her parents' financial sanctions, threats, and enticements, Nan Huan bowed her noble head to reality and married Fu Mingli against her will.
Nan Huan: “...” What a stupid mouth I have!
After they married, things were just as bad as Nan Huan had expected. Fu Mingli controlled her more than her own father did.
She was forbidden to wear clothes that showed her legs, waist, or back; forbidden to stay out all night; and, most of all, forbidden to flirt recklessly with handsome young men. Being married was harder than being in prison.
At last, Nan Huan could take no more and threw a divorce agreement at him.
“Get lost, you bastard. Get out of my happy little world!”
To celebrate her impending freedom, Nan Huan danced wildly at a party. Just as the atmosphere reached its peak, the music suddenly stopped.
Nan Huan froze, meeting the man's gaze across the crowd.
Fu Mingli walked over and stopped in front of her, his lips pressed together, his ink-dark eyes unfathomable.
He took off his jacket and wrapped it around her, then leaned close to her ear and asked in a low, dangerous voice, “Had enough fun, Mrs. Fu?”
[Bonus Scene]
Nan Huan hid from Fu Mingli to secretly call her friends.
“Go, go, go. Save me a seat. I'll head out as soon as he's gone.”
Her friend asked, “Are the house rules that strict?”
Nan Huan complained, “I used to stay out all night and nobody cared. Now I have to file a report and wait for approval just to go out...”
Before she could finish, the man she was complaining about caught her in the act.
Fu Mingli straightened her collar, fastened one more button, then patted her cheek. His voice was gentle, but it sounded more like a threat.
“Sweetheart, don't forget your nine-thirty curfew.”
Nan Huan: “...” Fu Mingli, damn you! It's almost eight already!

[Blurb]
Shen Xian, the eldest daughter of the Shen family, is the textbook definition of a rich, beautiful heiress.
She comes from a wealthy family, is stunning, graduated from a prestigious university, and is both beautiful and talented.
Gu Yan is the most famous business magnate in Ancheng's upper society. Young, elegant, and handsome, with a pair of captivating, flirtatious eyes, he has been voted by major media outlets as the man Ancheng's women most want to marry.
From the top of their heads to the tips of their toes, the two of them are made for each other.
At twenty-three, Shen Xian married Gu Yan and became the envy of everyone as Mrs. Gu.
In the public eye, their marriage was the most typical union between powerful families: a gentleman with a lady, influence with capital.
But only Shen Xian knew that Gu Yan was the man she had secretly loved for seven years.
After three years of marriage, Shen Xian finally came to her senses. People at the pinnacle of wealth and fame would never be troubled by love. You could fall in love, but he would always remain clearheaded.
He would never love anyone in this life.
Shen Xian decided to cut her losses and handed him a divorce agreement.
The man leaned against the sofa, his dark eyes fixed on her, his tone utterly casual.
“If I remember correctly, you told me you loved me last night.”
“What, you don't love me now?”
Shen Xian tugged at her lips, a trace of fatigue in her eyes.
She answered with a faint “Mm.” “I don't love you anymore.”
Gu Yan seemed to find her words amusing. He casually lifted a strand of her hair with his fingers, his touch gentle and suggestive. He let out a low, mocking laugh, his voice arrogant and cruel.
“If you don't love me, who else could you love? Shen Xian, do you really think you could ever fall for another man?”
Gu Yan was cold-hearted and arrogant to the core. Whether it was fame, fortune, or feelings, there was nothing he couldn't control, nothing beyond his grasp.
That is, until he saw Shen Xian at a private club.
The woman, usually elegant and reserved, wore a spaghetti-strap dress and exquisite makeup. She was practically leaning into the arms of the pretty-faced young man beside her.
They seemed completely detached from the lively atmosphere around them, chatting as they drank, utterly intimate.
The man rubbed his thumb along the stem of his glass. In the dim light, his expression was impossible to read; only a thin, cold glint passed through his eyes.
At one point, Shen Xian got up to answer a call and was suddenly pulled into an empty private room.
Gu Yan gripped her waist, his expression dark and his voice icy. “Shen Xian, who gave you the nerve to flirt with another man?”
Shen Xian's lashes trembled. Her voice was gentle, with a hint of helplessness.
“Gu Yan, can you be reasonable? We're divorced. I have the right to date other people...”
Before she could finish, Gu Yan gripped her chin and lifted it, forcing her to look him in the eye. His tone was domineering, leaving no room for argument.
“No. Don't even think about getting involved with anyone else.”
His eyes were rimmed with red, his voice hoarse.
“I forbid it.”
[Bonus Scene]
Once Gu Yan embarked on the long road to win his wife back, he shamelessly threw himself at Shen Xian, arranging all sorts of “coincidental” run-ins.
Later, after finally making it through the long trial period, Gu Yan woke Shen Xian, who was fast asleep, and declared, “The trial period is over. Let's remarry.”
Woken up, Shen Xian replied impatiently, “You woke me up, so that's an extra offense. The trial period is extended indefinitely.”
Gu Yan: “...”
