A Lingering Spring Tide

To make his mistress smile, her husband cruelly aborted the child in Wen Mei's womb.

Seeking revenge, Wen Mei set her sights on the heir to one of the most powerful families in the country.

One test.

A second tease.

By the third, they had sealed a deal.

In the beguiling spring of March, they tangled together night after night, yet never let their hearts get involved.

She wanted his immense power, the sharpest weapon for taking revenge on her cheating scumbag husband.

He wanted her because she looked just like the woman he had always cherished, the best medicine for easing his longing.

When their contract ended, Wen Mei hoped they could part on good terms.

Instead, he lost control, pinning her against the back seat and slipping a diamond ring worth tens of millions onto her finger.

Outside the car, rain poured in sheets. Her breathing was ragged, but reason warned her:

"Mr. Pei, I'm married."

"That doesn't matter. It's not the first time I've helped you cheat on your husband."

If Heaven wills it, you and I are made for each other.

If fate doesn't favor us, I don't mind taking you by force and dragging you down with me into a spring night of passion.
