Filthy Joy

Please add my next book, "The Wei Dynasty," to your reading list. Coming soon!

"Proper on the outside, dark and twisted within" "A lowly, wretched secret admirer" "A powerful man lowering his head"

To avoid an arranged marriage, Shen Yan knelt outside the palace gates for four hours. He was beaten unconscious and carried back to his residence, but the marriage went ahead in the end.

Qin Zhi always felt she owed him, so even though he had some strange preferences in bed after they married, she always indulged him and went along with everything he asked.

She owed him. She ought to treat him better.

Until the day she went to his study and found a notebook hidden in a secret compartment. Its cover read "Top Secret."

On the first page: "She looked at Xue Cen twenty-eight times and at me once."

On the second page: "She stepped on Xue Cen hard, and he still smiled. Why doesn't she come step on me?"

On the third page: "She wiped Xue Cen's face for him. Is his face so big that it needs wiping for so long...? She doesn't even know my name."

On the fourth page: "Xue Cen really is like a dog, following her around all day... Why does she smile at a dog so sweetly? I want to be her dog too."

On page xx: "The eighty-eighth time I asked the old emperor to grant us a marriage, he agreed."

"She feels guilty. I don't want to refuse... Last night was exciting. I want more..."

"She's so good to me. She agrees to anything I want... I'll try the leather belt tonight."

Qin Zhi was reading in stunned disbelief when a hand suddenly reached past her ear and grabbed the notebook.

Shen Yan held it between them and turned to the last page.

"That idiot Xue Cen still wants to drive a wedge between us. As if she'd ever leave me... Still, I should come up with some new tricks."

Theme: Respect yourself, love yourself, and strive to be strong.
