Everyone said that the third prince, Gu Zhou, was a cruel, twisted man from the Cold Palace, and no good could come of him. But when Su Qingwan saw him being whipped until he was covered in wounds, her heart softened. Despite her parents' strong objections, she went to the Cold Palace to care for him.
For his sake, Su Qingwan endured bullying and constant illness. She thought Gu Zhou would be grateful to her.
So three years later, when the Su family fell into trouble, she went to Gu Zhou, who had just become crown prince, full of hope.
But he had a new love and hated her to the bone. He accused her of betrayal and wished he could tear her limb from limb.
Beneath the dead tree in the Cold Palace, Gu Zhou slowly choked the breath from her. As her consciousness faded, she thought of her hands, covered in chilblains from cooking for him in winter; of the damage to her knees from kneeling for so long; and of his promise to marry her in a grand procession.
How laughable she had been back then!
Su Qingwan thought she would die at Gu Zhou's hands, but at the last moment, he stopped. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Su Qingwan, don't ever let me see you again."
So she left without hesitation, with no attachment to the place at all.
She thought their paths would never cross again. But in the twenty-second year of Yonghe, Gu Zhou rebelled, and as she tried to flee, he cornered her at the dock.
He lifted her chin with the bloodied tip of his sword, a cold glint in his eyes. "Our score isn't settled yet. Where are you going, Madam Su?"
Thus began Su Qingwan's nightmare.
She had no way to plead her case. All she felt was despair, humiliation, and hatred. All she wanted was to escape him.
But he forced himself on her. His kisses left marks beneath her clothes, and he brutally carved a mark into her back. He gripped her throat. "You can only love me. If you try to escape, I'll kill you."
Su Qingwan loathed him to the utmost. In the end, she escaped his clutches in a great fire.
Gu Zhou watched the fire burn through the entire night, consuming everything between him and Su Qingwan.
He had everyone who had ever humiliated her torn limb from limb. He even wanted her to repay him a thousand times over for the pain he had caused her. But the long night was bitterly cold, and she would not even enter his dreams.

After an accident leaves her spending one night with Huo Ling, she brings the darling of heaven down to earth, then leaves without a backward glance.
Five years later, they meet again. Huo Ling is an investor, and Fang Wu brings her younger boyfriend to ask for a career opportunity.
The moment she sees Huo Ling, Fang Wu is stunned!
Huo Ling adjusts his gold-rimmed glasses and murmurs, "Cat got your tongue? Didn't you say I was your favorite? What, was that all an act?"
2*
Fang Wu single-handedly helps her boyfriend reach the awards stage.
At the celebration banquet, she's standing in the shadows of the hallway when someone behind her suddenly grabs her waist and pins her against the wall.
Seeing her boyfriend nearby, Fang Wu almost screams.
Huo Ling's fingers teasingly trace her waist. "Is the rose I tattooed here still there?"
Fang Wu barely dares to breathe. Her heart pounding, she hears him whisper, "Your boyfriend is cheating on you."
Fang Wu looks up. In the dim light, her boyfriend holds his award in one hand and embraces a popular starlet with the other, their intimacy unmistakable.
Huo Ling abruptly tightens his grip on her waist. "Want to kiss me to get back at him?"
3*
During the darkest period of Huo Ling's life,
Fang Wu barged in, speaking in the sweetest voice and saying the most beautiful things.
Just when he believed her, she vanished without a trace.
From the moment he saw her again, he used force to imprison her in his life.
She seemed obedient, yet she escaped once more.
Huo Ling searched the whole world and finally found her again five years later. A man stood beside her, along with a little boy.
He clenched his fists, so jealous he was nearly mad. This time, he finally learned to act obedient, and personally handed her the dog leash.
Beneath his raven lashes lay a twisted, sickening madness. "As long as you don't leave me, I'll let you restrain me this time."

Now that I have abandoned my brother the moment I wanted to die, I have come back to life and I have to be tied to him again 💔 Ahhhhhhhhhhhh when will the heroine be strong enough? I really hate that iron cannot be transformed into steel [Joker]
"Gu Xingchen sighed softly" This is a big bug for the author~ Is this the male protagonist?
The male protagonist and Jiang Feng should live a good life, don't come and yell at the female protagonist.
It feels like both of them are going crazy 💔 In the end, everyone won't go crazy, right?
The forward swing is long enough, so it's so difficult to kill
The male protagonist is about to die and still has so many dramas [rolls eyes]
Jiang Feng, you came at the wrong time.
If you can't handle this man Chen, why should you take advantage of other women? Male protagonist...[Angry][angry][angry]
The author should write well and don't be affected by the comments. No matter how you write about the crematorium, some people are dissatisfied. The abuse of women is too harsh and the abuse of men is not enough. So how much abuse must be done to be enough? Everyone has their own different standards in their hearts, and what the author writes is not a customized article, nor is it specifically customized for a certain person's standards (for example, so-and-so thinks that the male protagonist must be tortured to death!! To relieve his anger, some people hope that the second male lead will come up and slap the male protagonist in the face, leaving the male protagonist with nothing in the end). Anyway, everyone has different standards for the degree of male abuse, and it is difficult to agree on it. If you don't like to read it, just close it by yourself. Jinjiang has thousands of articles. There is no need to criticize the author every day. He says this and that, and sometimes he puts this label and sometimes he puts that label. Sometimes they love men and sometimes they hate women. How can authors write books with peace of mind? [Change] [Change] Let's be less violent and more loving. I strongly support the author to write according to his own thoughts. I hope the author will strengthen his Taoism and not run away after writing.
I still have a sincere attitude and feel that I can go back to the past. This can be forgiven. I can only say that there is a male protagonist who is like shit, and there is a female protagonist who is so cheap that no one has it. Sure enough, there is no scumbag without a slut. Add the author's mother who loves and protects the scumbag.
