Sweetheart, Stop Hiding: The Unhinged Huo Lord Has Been Plotting This for a Long Time

[Marriage First, Love Later + Secret Crush Becomes Mutual + Long-Planned Scheme]

When An Ruozhi first met Huo Yicen, one glance was all it took to set off a spark between them, like dry tinder waiting to catch fire.

He said, “Marry me, and I can give you everything you want.”

Everyone said Huo Yicen was a lunatic, mentally ill, ruthless, and infamous in the capital as the King of Hell.

But only An Ruozhi knew that Huo Yicen was the perfect husband.

He was rich, talented, and handsome.

He was courteous, refined, and endlessly romantic.

He fussed over her every need, pampered her like a princess, and knew exactly how to please her in bed.

Huo Yicen treated her with loving devotion and even put all his assets in her name.

When his friends mocked her, he said,

“An Ruozhi is mine. She's the woman I've loved for over a decade. She's never been anyone's substitute. Let me make this clear: anyone who humiliates her will answer to me. Understand?”

Later, when she saw Huo Yicen for who he really was, she coldly demanded a divorce. He held her captive in his arms, madness in his eyes.

“I'm dark, devious, unscrupulous, obsessive, and constantly afraid of losing you. Do you really think someone like me would spend every last effort plotting this marriage, only to agree to a divorce so easily?”

It turned out her wonderful husband was a master of disguise, a wolf in sheep's clothing, and a genuine lunatic, one who loved her to the bone.

He had schemed for a long time to arrange their marriage. To make her fall in love with him, he hid his deranged nature and imitated the man she had always adored, hoping that one day her love would turn to him.
