As the false daughter of a wealthy family, Shen Zhiyi lived her life in the Shen household with extreme caution. She accepted every arrangement made by her family without hesitation, never daring to show the slightest disobedience. Even when she was told she would marry the infamous, tyrannical young master of the capital’s most powerful circle, she voiced no complaint. Only on the night she received the news did she quietly cry herself to sleep, her pillow soaked with tears.

Xie Zhuo, the heir of a top-tier wealthy family, had always looked down on the world and everyone in it. His temper was notoriously terrible, and he despised nothing more than women who threw themselves at him without knowing their place. In his eyes, Shen Zhiyi was exactly that kind of woman.

On their first night together, Xie Zhuo half-embraced his new wife. His voice was soft yet carried an overwhelming sense of pressure as he murmured, “I’ve given you the title of mistress of the Xie family. You should be satisfied with that.”

Half of Shen Zhiyi’s body froze up. She simply nodded repeatedly, not daring to say a single word more.

One evening, Shen Zhiyi suffered from severe menstrual cramps. Afraid that he would find it bothersome, she suggested sleeping in separate rooms.

Xie Zhuo furrowed his brows tightly, said not a word, and walked into his study.

Shen Zhiyi took his silence as agreement. She went alone to the guest bedroom, endured the pain, and eventually drifted into a fitful sleep.

In the middle of the night, she was suddenly awakened by the warmth of a man’s body pressing close. She heard him mutter in a low, gruff voice, “Where does it hurt? I’ll rub it for you.”

He cursed under his breath before grumbling, “Damn it, just for this tiny thing, you wanted to sleep apart from me?”

I spent the whole damn night sitting in the study, and I still couldn’t figure out why you’d make such a big deal out of nothing.

Once again, Shen Zhiyi froze in place. Her eyes grew moist, and for a moment, she completely forgot about the pain.
