[Proud, ill-tempered young lady x sinister husband who knows how to hide his true nature]
*
In the eleventh year of the Qian'an era, Li Shuchan had a strange dream.
Her husband, the cold and indifferent Yan Lang, seemed like a different person in the dream. He clung to her without ever leaving her side, his eyes brimming with love.
After waking, Li Shuchan saw the same husband as always: gentle, distant, and polite to everyone.
Covering her still-pounding heart, she thought to herself: It was only a dream. How could it be real?
Yan Qing was as gentle as fine jade and treated her with respect, but seemed to lack sincerity. Even when Li Shuchan deliberately provoked him by bringing another man before him, he remained unmoved.
But Li Shuchan was wicked. She wanted to peel off Yan Qing's clothes, hear him pant with passion, and watch him willingly submit beneath her skirts.
Even if it was only pretend. Even if it happened only in a dream.
Dreams and reality continued to intertwine, and Li Shuchan became more and more absorbed in her dreams. She enjoyed Yan Lang's attentions without a care and ordered him around imperiously.
It was only a dream, she reassured herself.
Until the dreams grew more and more shocking.
Li Shuchan caught a glimpse of the terrifying possessiveness hidden beneath that gentle, jade-like exterior.
By day, Yan Lang cherished and tenderly cared for his wife. But when night fell, he revealed a completely unfamiliar face, possessing and coercing her like a demon wearing human skin.
Li Shuchan was afraid.
She wanted to leave Yan Qing as soon as possible, before the dream came true.
One afternoon, she brought out the divorce agreement she had prepared long ago.
"We were husband and wife once, but our fate has run its course. I'm going to find a man I like, so let's part on good terms and go our separate ways."
"All right."
Her husband's face still wore its gentle smile.
Paper scraps fluttered through the air as he tore the divorce agreement to pieces right in front of her.
"Zhuzhu, are you trying to abandon me?"
The dream had come true.
