One Year After Being Taken by Force

After Xiao Sese and I got married, she ran away for the tenth time.

I built her a golden cage and fastened a fine chain between her ankles so she couldn't escape again.

I knew she didn't love me, but I didn't care. I just wanted her by my side.

I didn't care that the person she loved was my older brother.

My brother was noble and immaculate, like a sacred statue on an altar, pure and exalted, a heaven-blessed prodigy admired by all. He entered the Hanlin Academy at a young age, and even the emperor treated him with great respect.

As for me, I could only live in the shadows, hidden from sight. I watched my brother's every word and action, imitated his every move, and waited for a chance to replace him and marry his wife.

Xiao Sese and Pei Lin were childhood sweethearts. Their feelings were mutual, and they married as soon as she came of age.

For some reason, a year after their wedding,

her once-gentle and proper husband began doing improper things at night. In bed, he seemed like a different person, and he wouldn't let her call him by name.

Xiao Sese suspected that his identity was a lie, but she had no proof.

Her husband gave in to her in everything. Even when she went out, he sent along the most skilled guards to make sure she didn't come to harm. The one thing he forbade was entering the locked rear courtyard.

Then one day, Xiao Sese tricked him into leaving and went to that little courtyard.

When she heard chains rattling inside and the familiar voice of her husband, tears instantly streamed down her face.

When she woke again, she was trapped in a dark room. The man stepped out of the shadows, his sword lifting the sash of her robe. “Sese, why are you always so disobedient? Why did you have to go looking for him?”

“If you want him to live, you know how to please me.”
