"Since you refuse to call off the wedding, I will take your purity away now. This way, the Chi family won't want you as their daughter-in-law anymore. Qiao Ningsi, you can only belong to me...only me. As long as I'm alive, you won't be able to marry any other man." On her wedding day, her ex locked her in a room and violated her on the sofa. But she chose to continue with her wedding, willingly marrying into the Chi family and becoming a tool for bearing their heir. Her husband at the age of 35 was unbelievably handsome and worth billions. He was a renowned figure in the medical field. However, he held onto his love for his ex-girlfriend for over a decade. He had attempted suicide multiple times for her sake and, for some reason, married Qiao Ningsi. On their wedding night, he whispered his ex-girlfriend's name affectionately in her ear, treating her as a substitute. He understood everything a woman wanted and liked, dressing her in luxurious clothing and jewelry, pitying and spoiling her. He fulfilled all her demands, making him probably the most perfect husband in the world, with no boundaries or principles when it came to his wife in the eyes of others. But the one thing he couldn't give her was love, yet he also refused to let her go. When she attempted to escape, he cleverly made her willingly return, firmly pressing her against the door and capturing her lips fiercely. "I will only marry one woman in my lifetime, and that's you. Even if I can't fall in love with you, we can just keep this up forever..." She said she didn't like the bed he had slept with his ex-girlfriend on, so the next day he had the entire house demolished. She said she didn't want all his habits to remind her of his ex-girlfriend, so from then on, her preferences became his preferences, and her habits became his habits. She said she didn't want to see his ex-girlfriend wandering under his nose, so... Later on, she couldn't help but be moved. ***** An older man's doting story, a bit of teasing, a male lead who appears kind and loving on the surface, but is secretly calculating, and a female lead who is definitely not naive. Love blossoming within a conspiracy — you have to believe that the same beginning will give you a different process and outcome.
