You're Not Even Mine

The first time they met, Jiang Guangguang was already being bullied by Cheng Rong.

"Please, have mercy... Let me off just this once. I... I won't dare do it again." She begged for forgiveness.

Cheng Rongjian moved closer to her inch by inch and said, word by word, "Isn't it a little late to beg for mercy now?"

With a half-smile, he continued, "I've always loved helping people get what they want. Since you're so eager to be mine, of course I'll make your wish come true. That way, when you go out and swindle people again, you'll at least be living up to your reputation, hmm?"

His voice rose at the end, brimming with temptation.

He was Second Master Cheng, the man everyone along the river knew and feared. She was just someone struggling through the mud. She knew it was impossible, yet couldn't help edging closer to him, little by little.

Until one day, when he slipped a wedding ring onto another woman's finger, she finally came to her senses. She and he had always been worlds apart.

And nothing had ever changed.
