Life Sentence with a Wife

[Rebellious tattoo artist x aloof, celibate lawyer]

Bai Yu had spent more than twenty years living in the mud when she was suddenly told she was the biological daughter of a famous billionaire.

She thought that escaping that mire would wash all the grime from her.

But she was wrong.

Human cruelty doesn't disappear just because you move to a different environment.

She was sharp-tongued, rebellious, and refused to back down.

The fake heiress was gentle, refined, and well-mannered.

So her biological parents favored the other girl, and her older sister only had eyes for that one younger sister.

In the end, she tore away every disguise and every attempt to please them, and went back to being her true self.

Yet the woman who was her fiancee in name still wanted to drag her back onto the “right path.”

In a narrow alley, Ran Zhiyi discreetly avoided the filthy wall. “You don't belong in a place like this.”

“Then where do I belong?” Bai Yu leaned lazily against the wall, a red glow flickering between her fingers. “Attorney Ran, we're not cut from the same cloth. Stop expecting me to live by the rules of your elite, upper-class world.”

She looked at her with sincere eyes. “Go back and be the young lady you are.”

But Bai Yu didn't know that there was a tattoo on the wrist Ran Zhiyi always kept covered by her watch: a star.

What fills the heavens? Stars scattered in profusion, bright and clear.

Bai Yu: the name means “bright stars.”
