A Barren Fairy Tale

Age gap|Bride snatching and forced marriage|A refined villain

Powerful, domineering man x a canary with no way to escape her fate

[Completed]

The Nan family had a young lady named Nan Jia.

No one had ever seen her true face. Rumors even claimed she was hideously ugly.

Because of those rumors, her fiance, Zhou Yuyan, broke off their engagement overnight, turning her into a laughingstock.

Unlike his younger brother Zhou Yuyan, Zhou Yuhui was more low-key and steady. The marriage arranged by their elders was no childish game to be treated lightly.

As the elder brother, he came to Sujing in person to pay the Nan family a visit.

The teahouse curtain was lifted. When Nan Jia entered, the beauty raised her eyes. Her delicate brows and clear, limpid eyes, along with her graceful figure, made the man's gaze darken inch by inch.

It seemed the rumors couldn't be trusted.

Outsiders said that although Zhou Yuhui had a handsome face and a refined, noble air, like an immortal descended from the heavens, he had held the Zhou family's top position for years. His decisive ruthlessness struck fear into people's hearts. Plenty of people wanted to throw themselves at him, but his methods made them think twice.

Only Nan Jia knew that after marriage, the man was completely different. His possessiveness and need for control knew no bounds.

Nan Jia had no choice but to play along, all so she could get the prenuptial agreement she'd signed.

When her scheme was exposed, Zhou Yuhui reacted unexpectedly calmly. He agreed without showing much emotion.

Nan Jia tried hard to endure it. When it was over, her legs were weak and her eyes red. She looked up at the man before her. "The agreement... you said you'd give it back if I behaved..."

Zhou Yuhui truly was calm. Calmly, he picked her up and sat her on his lap, then kissed her forehead. He took the prenuptial agreement and waved it before her eyes. "Don't cry. Look, the agreement is right here."

Then he tore it to pieces without mercy.

The man's shoes ground the scraps of paper into the floor. His expression remained gentle, but his words made Nan Jia's face turn paler by the second.

"Jiajia, do you want a divorce?"

"Not even on the day we die. You can only stay by my side."

"You said I was your rose."

Content warnings:

1. Both leads are sexually inexperienced.

2. Not a traditional marriage-first, love-later, then pampering romance.

3. A domineering CEO falls in love with me story. Very cliche, extremely cliche. A woman playing with fire story. Read with caution.
