After an unexpected turn of events, Xia Shiwen and Lu Zhiheng registered their marriage, throwing their peaceful lives into disarray.

At the time, all she knew was that Lu Zhiheng was a distinguished young gentleman from a prominent Jin Hai family: aloof, refined, and seemingly untouched by worldly desires.

She was only a junior manager at Yue Xing Qi, a company in a remote mountain region. The difference between them was like heaven and earth.

They each got what they wanted, and after the wedding, they kept out of each other's way.

One day, Xia Shiwen was asked by an elder in her family to bring lunch to the office. She happened to see him chatting with a childhood friend in his office. They were talking about their sudden marriage registration when she heard the usually calm and measured Lu Zhiheng say flatly, "It was only for the position of heir."

He'd grown up surrounded by his family's schemes. Why would he care about marriage?

--

Less than a year into the marriage, Xia Shiwen was told that her younger sister's leg could not be healed. She broke their agreement unilaterally, leaving behind only a bank card and a divorce agreement.

A week later, Lu Zhiheng caught her at a beach bonfire party.

The top-floor suite offered an unobstructed view of the nighttime seascape. He pinned the woman in his arms against the bathroom counter, gripping her chin with his fingers. The sudden pain made her shudder all over.

"Did you enjoy the view downstairs?" He smiled, gently stroking her for a long moment before leaning down to murmur in her ear, "Want to take a closer look?"

Lu Zhiheng hated anything troublesome, especially dating and marriage.

Having his freedom restricted and being expected to report his whereabouts at all times was nothing but asking for trouble.

But after meeting Xia Shiwen, he found that he only liked it when trouble came looking for him.

Lu Qingyuan had been a corporate workhorse. After staying up all night for several days, she finally collapsed at her desk and transmigrated into the body of the legitimate daughter of the respectable Lu family.

Lu Qingyuan thought that as the only legitimate daughter in ancient times, she would surely be highly esteemed. Given a second life, she decided to lie flat and enjoy herself!

Instead, she discovered that her father's reckless spending had already squandered the family's entire fortune, and she also had a vain, troublesome mother to deal with.

So the girl who'd hoped to live off the family and do nothing had to return to her workhorse life.

-

One day, the royal household sent a eunuch with an imperial decree. The crown prince, Shen Jinyan, wished to marry Lu Qingyuan, the legitimate daughter of the respectable Lu family.

The current crown prince, Shen Jinyan, had a refined, jade-like face and was exceptionally clever from childhood. By the age of ten, he was already able to handle state affairs.

He was the most coveted bachelor among all the noblewomen in the capital of Tianshui.

The elders of the Lu family were all delighted to become in-laws with the royal household.

But Lu Qingyuan couldn't understand how someone so perfect could want to marry her.

Was there a plot brewing in the palace? Or did the crown prince have some embarrassing hidden ailment?

-

Few people knew that the highborn crown prince had an obsession with skin. When it came over him, no one dared approach, but Lu Qingyuan was an exception.

It all began when the crown prince visited Qinghe and happened to meet Lu Qingyuan arguing with a shopkeeper over a small sum of money.

The woman's unique fragrance seeped into Shen Jinyan's heart and mind, making her impossible to forget.

On quiet nights, beneath the high moon,

pathological hunger and possessiveness would flare up. He would imagine her from that day, like a beast marking its territory.

-

After their marriage,

Shen Jinyan was courteous and mild-mannered with everyone, but only Lu Qingyuan knew

what kind of hidden side lurked beneath his handsome, refined face.

She didn't know whether it was his status or his harmless-looking face, but little by little, she could no longer stand it. "Can't you do something about this awful habit of yours?"

With tears in his dark eyes, he bit down on a black leather ring, crawled between her knees, and rested his face on them. In a hoarse voice, he said, "Woof..."

What do you do when the crown prince likes to play dog?

Guide:

1. Pure one-on-one marriage-before-love romance.

2. Both the male and female leads have plenty of flaws! If that's not your thing, don't read!

3. The male lead only likes the heroine and only wants to be in love with her.

4. Pure melodrama, no logic.
