[Marriage first, love later; strangers to addiction. The male lead is addicted 🌟]
Ling Chu first met her brother-in-law in name only on her wedding night.
Her older sister had run away from the wedding, and Ling Chu, an illegitimate daughter, was forced to take the bride’s place and marry into the Fu family as the wife of its new head, Fu Yuheng.
Rumor had it that he was a refined young gentleman from an overseas family, noble, courteous, and well-mannered. But the first time Ling Chu saw him, she sensed a deadly danger about him.
His dark eyes, brimming with desire, seemed to be waiting for the moment they could take her apart and devour her whole.
Ling Chu nearly didn’t survive their first night.
The man’s dominance, forcefulness, and intense need for control were more than she could bear.
After they married, for the sake of a luxurious villa and diamond jewelry, Ling Chu gritted her teeth and kept her real identity under wraps. She diligently played the spoiled, demanding eldest daughter of the Shu family in the eyes of outsiders, and tearfully cooperated with her brother-in-law in fulfilling their marital duties at a very high frequency.
Until her identity was exposed
Ling Chu packed her things and prepared to run, but the man blocked the door, grabbed her, and flung her onto the bed.
Fu Yuheng pinned Ling Chu beneath him, his face cold and his grip unyielding. His fingers clamped around her chin as his scorching gaze burned across her face. His thin lips parted. “Did I say you could leave?”
Two-faced in public and in private 🐺 vs. acts the part, then can’t escape 🐰
