- A resourceful and voluptuous beauty seduces a cold and aloof powerful official into breaking his vows; the cold and aloof official later goes mad -

Cui Yiluo was breathtakingly beautiful, with skin like jade and ice, yet she lacked family backing and struggled to reach seventeen under her stepmother's harsh treatment. A marriage contract, using her beauty as a bargaining chip, saw her stepmother marry her off as a second wife to a sixty-year-old elder.

But she never surrendered. After moving into the Jiang family, she set her sights on the most distinguished and reserved man in Shengjing.

The Jiang family was prominent, and the man in power was Jiang Yunjin, her nominal cousin. He was as radiant as the moon and meticulous in his conduct, holding a high position and significant authority at just twenty-one years old, decisive in his actions.

He was the most proper and the most cold-hearted. Yet, she was determined to break his propriety and drag him into lust. However, as the wedding date approached, Jiang Yunjin still treated her with indifference.

Just as she sought another way out, a servant at a banquet offered her wine infused with an exotic fragrance. Cui Yiluo twirled the wine cup, a faint smile playing on her lips.

That night, red curtains were scattered, all etiquette abandoned. The man suppressed a groan in her ear. At dawn, Jiang Yunjin gazed at her tear-filled eyes with a dark expression, his voice serious: "I will marry you."

Cui Yiluo successfully escaped the undesirable marriage, but even after marrying, Jiang Yunjin remained cold and unfeeling, except when in bed. She advanced inch by inch, feigning gentleness, but in her heart, she only wanted to completely destroy his rules and make him fall into depravity.

Because she loved to see him provoked, his eyes filled with desire, his breathing ragged. But she clearly knew that apart from that hint of desire, there was no affection between them.

Until that day, she was intercepted on her way out of the capital. The man, tall and straight like bamboo, obscured the sunlight. His handsome, deep-set face, shadowed and cold, was filled with gloom.

He slowly cornered her against the hard carriage wall, leaving her no escape. His lean fingers lightly traced her cheek as he said in a low voice: "A-Luo wants to go where? Why don't you continue deceiving me?"

"You wanted to abandon me for another back then, but you chose me in the end. Since you chose me, do you think you still have a chance to find him?"

Cui Yiluo completely shattered his decorum, but she never expected that once he broke free from the constraints of his rules, such ruthlessness lay beneath his cold exterior. The room door was tightly locked, utterly absurd.

Windows rattled as Cui Yiluo was pressed against the door, enduring. The man's eyes held an unmelting dark ink, his voice dark and hoarse, as he clenched her jaw, "Isn't this what you've always wanted?"
