Luring Her to Ruin

Shu Yi was doted on by Duan Shuheng for years, spoiled so thoroughly that he'd give her the stars if she asked, and the moon if she didn't.

For a while, she thought she and Duan Shuheng were different from those couples who only pretended to get along.

That was until the young mistress he kept on the side declared war on her.

Shu Yi's retaliation nearly caused the other woman to miscarry. The man who had once cherished and spoiled her turned against her, revealing his ugly true colors.

He sent her to a sanatorium without hearing her side, stripping her of her freedom.

Their marriage was clearly beyond saving, but he refused to let her go.

Only later did Shu Yi understand: Duan Shuheng liked dragging goddesses down into the mud and urging prostitutes to reform.

He loved no woman as an equal, yet couldn't tolerate any woman defying him.

The day Shu Yi hooked the new rising star of Xicheng, they came together like tinder and flame, and she gave herself over completely.

Five years later, when they meet again, Shu Yi is holding the hand of an adorable little girl with rosy cheeks. It all feels like a lifetime ago.

The man who once cast her aside as worthless watches her from afar through the crowd, his eyes reddening.
