Their families brought them together for the sake of family interests.
Three years into their marriage, he was still the golden bachelor and eligible catch in everyone's eyes.
He was a playboy, cold and heartless, roaming among countless women.
She gradually became a popular news anchor, admired by the public for her poise and polished image.
To her, this marriage was merely a chance to escape her family. It didn't matter who she married.
They were nothing more than strangers with a marriage certificate. Nothing more.
Without love, there can be no hate!
Excerpt One
A desperate love, a relentless entanglement. He abused her body, while she tortured his heart.
He said, “Even if I die, I'll drag you down to hell with me.”
She sneered. “You're the only one going to hell. I'm going to heaven, so we will never cross paths.”
Excerpt Two
Picking on a mistress wasn't her style. Wasn't the saying, “Why should women make things hard for other women?” But if the mistress came looking for trouble, that was another matter. Being kind to your enemy is being cruel to yourself, and the one thing she did best was look after herself.
“You're not good enough for him. Isn't it pathetic, staying with a husband who doesn't love you? We understand each other. We're the perfect couple.” The mistress spoke to her triumphantly, her eyes full of hatred and smugness, all tangled together.
She smiled faintly, then said, “Miss Shen, I'm not good enough for him, but I am Mrs. Gu. Even if he loves you, the most you'll ever be is a mistress he can't acknowledge in public. And let me tell you, the last thing I want to do is help someone else get what they want. So don't come looking for a sense of superiority from me, or I can't say what I might do.”
Then she slung her bag over her shoulder and walked away with a carefree air. These days, being the legal wife came with one more duty: fighting the mistress.
What fun!
Excerpt Three
“Who is he?” He clutched the photograph in his hand, his bloodshot eyes fixed on her as he asked viciously.
“Who could it be? It's not you, anyway.” She looked at him indifferently, the smile at the corners of her mouth growing clearer.
He gripped the photograph, his expression growing more and more savage. How could he not know who the man was? He just couldn't believe that the brother he'd grown up with would do something like this!
“You want a divorce so you can be with him? Forget it! Xia Tong, as long as I'm alive, you'll never get one.” He tore the photograph to shreds and flung it to the ground.
Instead of getting angry, she smiled, laughter in her eyes.
“It doesn't matter. Even if we don't divorce, you can't stop me.” Her reply carried a confidence that was impossible to put into words.
Excerpt Four
“Let me go. You have so many women, so why do you have to keep clinging to me?” She couldn't bear to stay by his side another moment.
“Let you go? Who's going to let me go?” Even if he had no heart, he still wanted her to stay with him.
“That's your problem, not mine.” She let out a cold laugh, speaking softly as she looked at the person before her, but her eyes seemed not to see him at all.
When the glitter was washed away and the splendor faded, would they be able to find each other's hearts again?
A high-ranking-family romance. This is my first time writing one, so please show me lots of support!
