An Addictive Marriage

[This novel will be published on July 19. The revised chapters start with Chapter 23. Thanks so much for your support!]

Wen Song and Shang Cheng Ye grew up together. Their families arranged their marriage when they were born. Later, when Wen Song's parents divorced, she had nowhere else to go, so Shang Cheng Ye took her in.

From then on, she quietly followed him everywhere. When they went to university, Shang Cheng Ye took good care of her, and everyone thought they were a couple.

For his sake, the obedient girl in everyone's eyes learned to cook and do laundry, skip class, and accompany him to the most dangerous car races. Shang Cheng Ye took her kindness for granted and kept her hanging, but never made their relationship public.

They did almost everything couples did, for so long that everyone around them thought they would eventually end up together.

Until one day, at a bar, she accidentally overheard a conversation between Shang Cheng Ye and his childhood friend.

That's when she learned that she was nothing more than a dispensable stand-in for Shang Cheng Ye's unattainable first love.

With her heart completely dead, Wen Song sent him a breakup message without hesitation and blocked him.

Shang Cheng Ye assumed Wen Song was just throwing a tantrum. She loved him more than life itself, so sooner or later she'd regret it and come back.

But no more messages from Wen Song ever appeared on his phone.

Later, Shang Cheng Ye regretted everything. He stopped her and begged hoarsely for her forgiveness.

"Stop pestering your aunt by marriage. And remember to address her properly next time." The elegant man circled the slender girl's waist with the confidence of a victor. His dark eyes were as deep as a cold pool, and a faint smile touched his lips.

"Sorry, you're too late." Wen Song smiled radiantly, then wrapped her arms around the elegant man and coaxed him tenderly: "Don't get angry over someone like him, okay…"

Shang Cheng Ye's eyes nearly burst with fury.

Shang Jing Nan was born into the foremost wealthy family in the capital. From birth, he stood at the pinnacle of power: unfathomable, elegant, and impeccably refined. But no one knew that years ago, on a street in France, he had been ambushed by a business rival and left on the brink of death. Then a girl appeared like a ray of light. She was the moon in his sky.

When they meet again years later, he intends to draw her deep into his web of love, where she will never escape.
