[The Ex-Chases-Her-to-the-Crematorium|Rivals Turn Devoted|Marriage First, Love Later] On their wedding night, he said, “The daughter of my enemy sullies my eyes.” Later, his eyes red, he imprisoned her on their wedding bed and pleaded, “Do you have a heart at all?” Shen Qingci's own father shoved her forward to take the blame, marrying her off to Xiao Yanzhi, the violent, unstable Duke of Yan, who had killed her brother. The women of the household wept and wailed, certain she was doomed. But Shen Qingci took it in stride. So what if she got married?

What she hadn't expected was that Xiao Yanzhi would dislike her even more than the rumors claimed. The first time they met, he wouldn't even look her in the eye.

In them, she looped her arms around his neck and said, “You look so handsome in your wedding robes,” then rested her head against his neck and chatted on about their future. After waking, he looked at her with ever greater uncertainty. He would say, “The daughter of my enemy? She isn't worthy,” yet in his dreams, he held her tighter and tighter.

He pinned her to their wedding bed, eyes bloodshot, and asked her: “Do you have a heart at all?”
