Coveting You Within Marriage

When Cen Jilan was studying abroad, she dated a handsome, wealthy man who was romantic and knew how to set the mood.

Most importantly, he was great at making her happy.

But they still broke up. She was the one who dumped him.

She thought of it as nothing more than a brief foreign fling, and never told anyone about it after returning home.

A year later, with no other choice, she was pressured by her parents into going on a blind date. The moment she saw the man in front of her, whose features closely resembled her ex's, her expression grew grave.

In her memory, her ex was arrogant and flamboyant, always making a spectacle of himself and drawing everyone's attention wherever he went.

But this man was dressed in a suit, reserved and refined, with all the appeal of a mature gentleman.

There was no way they could be the same person.

Relieved, Cen Jilan decided it must be a coincidence. Two unrelated people had simply happened to have similar faces.

After getting engaged, Cen Jilan kept feeling that Shen Xun was hiding something from her.

Every two weeks, he went away on business for a few days. He said it was for work, but whenever she asked, he dodged the question.

He was usually so low-key, yet there was always a flashy sports car parked in his garage.

At first, she didn't think much of it. Not until their wedding night.

She came out of the bathroom after her shower and saw her husband standing by the bed, staring at their marriage certificate with a gloomy expression.

Before she could ask anything, he slowly turned around and gave her a smile she knew all too well:

“Cen Jilan, I've got you.”

Shen Xun has a secret: there's another person living inside his body.

They got along peacefully for the first twenty-six years, and he had grown used to the other's presence.

Then one day, his newlywed wife suddenly told him that the other person inside him wanted to kiss her.

He couldn't stand it.
