Escape from the Cage

[Love by Force] [Chasing His Wife] [Cold, Ascetic Heir x Beautiful, Resilient Cousin]

Su Jinshang had lived in the Duke's mansion for five years. The madam was kind, and her younger siblings were affectionate.

Only her cousin, the heir, made things difficult for her at every turn.

So she learned embroidery and made sachets, doing everything she could to win him over.

But then she saw him trample the sachet in front of his younger siblings, scolding her sharply.

"Su Jinshang is lowborn and shameless, just like her mother. She's calculating and only wants to climb into a powerful family. Stay away from her, or you'll learn her foxlike ways of seduction."

Su Jinshang bit her handkerchief and cried all night. She did want a good marriage, but she had never planned to marry into a powerful family.

But her cousin didn't believe her. He sabotaged her matchmaking, ruined her reputation, and even tried to force her to become his concubine. With nowhere else to turn, she could only write to the person she had known since childhood.

"You once promised me a wish. Will you come and marry me?"

The person Jiang Yunqi despised most in this life was Su Jinshang. She was calculating and had no self-respect, constantly trying to seduce him so she could marry into his family.

What he hated even more was that he had fallen in love with a woman like her.

So he kept her in line and treated her coldly, waiting for her to understand her place. Then he would let her become his favored concubine and spoil her for the rest of her life.

But he left the capital for one trip, and when he returned, she was secretly about to marry someone else.

The man who had always restrained himself and followed propriety stopped her wedding sedan without regard for the consequences. His eyes red, he kicked open its door.

"Come back with me. I'll let you climb this high branch!"
