After Qiao Wan married, she always felt that something about her husband was strange whenever night fell.
For instance, he never left a lamp lit in their room, only the cool, clear moonlight;
and he never let her call him by name when they were in bed. She could only call him "husband."
When passion took hold, she never gave these things much thought.
Until one day, she accidentally discovered that the marks she had left on her "husband's" Adam's apple at night, as well as the protective charm and purse she had given him, had all turned up on another man.
Pei Zhan had a secret in his heart, and a woman tucked away in it too. He saw no contradiction between the two.
In an accident, Pei Zhan injured a certain part of his body. A doctor once told him he might never be able to have sex again.
Deeply in love with Qiao Wan, he didn't want to call off their engagement over this, so he kept it from her, always believing that he would recover after they married.
But after the wedding, his wife grew more alluring by the day, while he remained trapped by his illness. Seeing her grow more and more unhappy, he finally chose to take a desperate risk and seek help from someone else.
"Everyone says I look a little like Ninth Uncle. If the light is dim at night, she surely won't be able to tell us apart. Ninth Uncle has been unmarried for years, so why not help your nephew out?"
Pei Xuan lifted his cool gaze to Pei Zhan, who stood before him anxiously. His fingers, held behind his back, curled slightly as he recalled the time he had accidentally touched Qiao Wan.
He hated being touched by others, and hated women even more.
That was, until the day after his wedding, when he saw Qiao Wan. She wore a crimson spring dress, like a peach blossom blooming on a branch. Nervous in his presence, she bowed to offer him tea, revealing her luminous, pale wrists and slender, white fingers.
The instant their fingertips brushed by accident, he felt an intense desire. From then on, he wanted to hold her close and make her his, day and night.
He may have been a step too late.
But not too late.
