Tan Shuyuan was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and grew up spoiled, with every inch the temper of a young lady. In Luocheng, she was famous as a rose with thorns.

At twenty-three, for the sake of the Tan family's fortunes, she married the only son of the prominent He family, well-known in business circles. Without struggling or resisting, she obediently accepted this loveless marriage of convenience.

He Wangyan had always been cold and distant, never openly expressing his likes or dislikes. But this Miss Tan was the one person he disliked at first sight. He even once boasted to his friends that if Tan Shuyuan didn't behave, he'd carry her out of the house with one hand.

Two people who couldn't stand each other moved in together. Tan Shuyuan looked every day as if she were mourning He Wangyan, while he couldn't muster the slightest interest in her. After they married, they slept in separate beds, a particularly humiliating arrangement.

He Wangyan once asked her, "Miss Tan, are you disappointed in this marriage, or in the person you're married to?"

After a moment's thought, Tan Shuyuan asked in turn, "Mr. He, what's the difference?"

-

Though they were at odds in private, they put on a convincing show in front of their elders. They acted like a loving couple, leaving not the slightest opening for criticism.

But no sooner had they turned the corner outside than Tan Shuyuan shoved his hand away. A flicker of displeasure crossed her pretty face. "He Wangyan, you jerk. Couldn't you be a little gentler? You bruised my waist!"

He Wangyan looked at her, wrapped an arm around her waist, and pulled her close with a teasing smile. "Well, look at that. The rabbit bites back when it's cornered?"

Tan Shuyuan looked up and struggled, grabbed his hand, and bit down hard. Her teeth sank into his flesh. She glanced up at He Wangyan triumphantly and said through clenched teeth, "I don't just curse, I bite too!"

Pain shot through He Wangyan's arm, but he neither pushed her away nor struggled. He simply lowered his eyes and let Tan Shuyuan vent.

-

From that day on, He Wangyan began showing off his married status whenever he got the chance. Every time he mentioned his wife, his face was full of pride.

Tan Shuyuan watched him, thinking he'd gone crazy, and wondered whether she should call a feng shui master to look over their home.

One day, He Wangyan ran into a friend who mistakenly assumed the two had long since divorced because they couldn't get along.

Back home, He Wangyan lightly gripped her waist, lifted her onto his lap, and demanded, "I heard you've been telling everyone we're divorced?"

Tan Shuyuan twisted around, trying to get away, and quickly explained, "That's just a rumor! I never told him we were getting divorced. I only said we were living separately!"

He Wangyan narrowed his eyes at the woman in front of him, wrapped an arm around her, and pulled her down across his lap. His voice carried a hint of displeasure. "Mrs. He, you should be telling everyone how well we get along."

Coming next: 'Falling in Love'

As the He family's adopted daughter, He Yueshu had little say in anything, but her life was still fairly comfortable. That changed the day the He family's biological daughter was found. He Yueshu's standing plummeted overnight, until she ranked below even the family's maid. Knowing her place, He Yueshu could only be obedient and well-behaved. She wanted nothing more than to live out the rest of her life in peace.

But fate had other plans. The biological daughter insisted that He Yueshu had stolen her status and wealth all these years. In a fit of anger, she even begged the He family to marry He Yueshu off to a debauched cripple. He Yueshu was horrified and secretly vowed to find a way to save herself.

-

As the Xie family's foremost heir, Xie Yunan held absolute power in Wudu City. He was gloomy and violent, and utterly ruthless in everything he did. He was someone no one in Wudu City dared offend. Yet this very man, whom everyone avoided, had set his sights on a daughter of the He family.

When the biological daughter heard about it, she was so frightened she cried for a whole day and night, wishing she could flee abroad and never return. But He Yueshu alone was intrigued. She knew this was her one chance to turn her life around. So she made inquiries about Xie Yunan everywhere and contrived one chance encounter after another, all so he might look her way.

At last, on a rainy night, He Yueshu stood outside Xie Yunan's home, drenched and shivering. Her brows were flushed, and her trembling hands clutched his sleeve. Tears mingled with rain as she whispered, "Mr. Xie, please be kind to me."

-

After that night, Xie Yunan and He Yueshu quickly registered their marriage. Overnight, He Yueshu became someone no one could afford to slight. But the public had little good to say about her. They all thought she was ungrateful, stealing the biological daughter's husband, a treacherous wolf raised by the He family.

At every event and banquet afterward, Xie Yunan could be seen holding He Yueshu's hand. His normally cold, brooding expression softened, and he indulged his little wife in everything. Faced with all the ugly rumors, he merely said, "From beginning to end, He Yueshu is the only one I have ever wanted to marry."
