At the Pearl Night Banquet, the Emperor bestowed a marriage upon Marquis Yu Qing.
The young general wore a golden crown shaped like a phoenix's wings. Broad-shouldered and slim-waisted, he was as elegant as an orchid and as handsome as a jade tree. The moment he took his seat, the noble young ladies present all secretly fell for him.
But he... chose the eldest daughter of the Situ family.
The atmosphere grew tense at once, and the guests exchanged strange looks.
After all, Marquis Yu had once been a lowly stablehand in the prestigious Situ family. Miss Situ had trampled on his back countless times, so surely he bore her a grudge deep in his bones. Marquis Yu was ruthless and cruel. No one knew how he would torment her after she married him.
Miss Situ was unwilling to marry him, too, and rejected the proposal in front of everyone.
But a month later, the Situ family fell. Its men were exiled, and its women forced into prostitution. Miss Situ was a true pearl, raised amid heaps of gold and jade, with beauty like a hibiscus. Once her family lost its power, everyone who coveted her showed their true colors.
Yet Miss Situ suddenly vanished without a trace.
His adviser reported the matter with great trepidation. As Marquis Yu gazed at an old painting on the wall, he smiled faintly.
It seemed he had avenged his past humiliation and finally gotten even.
*
That night, in the secret room behind the old painting, Miss Situ wrapped her arms around the man's neck, crying, "You bastard, don't touch me."
He lifted her delicate, pale neck and stared straight into her eyes, clouded with desire. Applying the slightest pressure, he murmured, "Beg your slave."
