Brothers at odds | Rivals vying for love | An old flame rekindled | Domination and possession
Cheng Yanbo x Chu Ning x Cheng You'an
In the grand hall, cups clinked and guests mingled.
Cheng Yanbo spotted the most dazzling peony in the crowd at once.
Dark brows, red lips, smiling by the window.
He frowned, almost against his will.
A spoiled young lady from an influential family.
That was Cheng Yanbo's first impression of Chu Ning.
But she was his younger brother's wife, so he kept his thoughts to himself.
Until...
It seemed he had entered Chu Ning's dreams.
In the dream, she tied him to a wooden chair,
leaving clear marks across his body with a whip.
At first, he comforted himself that it was only a dream.
The second time, he was tied to a bed.
His younger brother's wife sat astride his hips,
her hair winding secretly around her jade-like body,
like a tattoo.
The third time, he was locked away in a secret chamber.
Robbed of his sight, he could only smell the familiar fragrance of peonies.
He had become a woman's kept captive.
Chu Ning was a transmigrator,
but even she didn't know where she had transmigrated to.
All she knew was that she was the legitimate daughter of a powerful family, cherished by everyone.
Her life was perfect, with almost no flaws, apart from having to marry for the sake of her family.
Just as Chu Ning was preparing to leave her overworked office life behind and enjoy the finer things in life,
her fiance's older brother began looking at her more and more strangely.
