Stirring the Spring Tide

Su Yu was the legitimate daughter of the Censor-in-Chief, yet she lived a life of hardship and poverty.

After unexpectedly spending one passionate night with Shen Qingyan, a powerful noble at court, she left without a word.

Later, Su Yu encountered Shen Qingyan again, just as she found herself in danger. Without hesitation, she sought his protection.

"My lord, if you save me, then today I will belong to you."

Shen Qingyan stood with his hands behind his back and looked her way. A strand of dark hair brushed across her alluring face, stirring the heart with effortless charm.

Shen Qingyan agreed, but he never expected that after he took the young woman into his heart, she would run away and even brazenly plan to marry someone else.

The wedding hall was festooned with lanterns and decorations, but the bride was nowhere to be seen, even after a long wait.

From within the red bridal curtains, hidden from everyone's sight, came the faint sound of a woman's sobs. Her slender hand clutched the curtain when a large, bony-knuckled hand suddenly seized her and pulled her inside. The man's voice held a hint of madness: "Don't run away. You will always be mine."
