I'm no good at writing blurbs, so this will have to do.
More or less, it's a melodramatic love story about a mad lord and a crazy woman, with a bit of revenge thrown in.
The heroine has a cold heart (a refined egoist).
The hero has cold blood (after years of repression, there's a touch of madness in his bones).
Ruan Mingshu, heir's wife of the Marquis of Duzhou's household.
In her previous life, she followed the rules for half her life, only to be thrown into a pig cage and drowned.
She opened her eyes again on the day her engagement was set.
Her fiance was behind her back, carrying on with her younger half-sister.
She turned around and picked up a handsome man outside the city moat to take home.
"The Marquis's power, the Ruan family's money. I'll love whoever can give me either."
*
In his life, Yan Hui had only ever been abandoned twice: once when his mother, the Consort, threw him into the city moat, and once when Ruan Mingshu tossed down a silver ingot and walked away without looking back...
As she left, he thought that no matter what, even if the road ahead led to an endless hell, he would drag her down into it with him...
"I'll drag you into hell, then worship you like a god."
Theme: Give love, receive love.
