After Forcibly Taking the Moonlight’s Heart

[White Moonlight Heiress x Five-Star General of the Empire, carefree and indifferent on the surface, actually going crazy with love]

When Ye Xingzhi and Bai Yi first got together, no one approved.

One was the cherished daughter of the Upper City's governor, while the other was a young gang leader from the Lower City.

Everyone warned Bai Yi that the Lower City was too chaotic, and the heiress wouldn't stay there for long.

"As the saying goes, people should marry their equals. You and Ye Xingzhi are worlds apart."

Young Bai Yi refused to believe it. She polished the sharp edge of her blade until it gleamed, then lifted her head confidently. "Xingzhi wouldn't do that."

She was sure she and Xingzhi would marry in the grandest church in the Upper City, with the bells ringing just for the two of them.

But the situation in the Upper City changed overnight, and unrest spread throughout the Lower City as well.

The Ye family was searching everywhere for their daughter.

Bai Yi tossed and turned all night, trying to figure out how she could stay with Xingzhi. At last, the next day, she made a momentous decision:

She would elope with Xingzhi.

When Ye Xingzhi heard the news, she gazed out the window, half her face hidden in shadow,

and nodded. "All right."

Bai Yi was overjoyed. She made all the preparations, then braved the cold wind and waited all night at the city gate.

The next morning, as the first light of dawn broke, Ye Xingzhi never came.

Instead, the Ye family's guards arrived, beat Bai Yi up, and threw her into the lake.

Bai Yi was seriously ill for a month.

Later, an S-rank leader emerged in the Lower City.

Young but laden with military accomplishments, she led Yucheng into the Upper City through sheer force of will.

The lofty residents of the Upper City feared her, yet had to swallow their pride and court her favor.

Money, power, beautiful women: she seemed not to care about any of it.

But on the day of the wedding between the Empire's Crown Prince and the Ye family's heiress, this very rogue led a troop of soldiers and surrounded the church completely.

When Ye Xingzhi was young and foolish, she once seduced a gangster to stay alive.

It was probably the past Ye Xingzhi was most reluctant to let anyone know about.

She thought that person was already dead. But a few years later, that woman appeared before her again and ruined her wedding.

In the church's holiest prayer room, Bai Yi pinned her between the wall and her body.

She was smiling, but her eyes and brows were icy cold, tinged with hatred.

"A wedding this lovely, how could you not invite an old flame?"

Bai Yi had always been like this: her love was intense, and her hatred just as fierce.

Ye Xingzhi wasn't afraid. She lifted her skirt.

After all these years, she kissed Bai Yi's lips once more.

She'd made Bai Yi fall in love with her once.

She could do it again.

"The heiress is beautiful, and the heiress is wicked."
