After Humiliating the Male Lead Who Possessed an Alluring Fragrance

Gu Xingzhi was the heir of the Marquis of Beiding, a nobleman who was completely beyond Xue Ling’s reach. She had never imagined that someone as ordinary as herself would ever become entangled with Gu Xingzhi. Not long ago, while making her rounds as a night watchwoman, she had knelt humbly before his sedan and begged him to forgive her for an unintentional offense. Yet on the night she returned from her rounds, she pushed open the gate to her courtyard and found the man who, only moments ago, had been as distant as snow on a faraway mountain lying in her dilapidated yard. His long hair was pitch-black, his skin as fair as lustrous jade, and an alluring fragrance that bewitched the senses emanated from him—as though the heavens had sent her a gift in compensation for all the years she had spent in poverty. A dark thought rose from the depths of her heart. Hide him away. Hide him in the bedroom whose roof leaked whenever it rained. Just like raising a dog. – These days continued until someone found her and demanded that she marry an old widower as his secondary wife. The old widower was already on the verge of death. After living in poverty for twenty years, she naturally agreed when such immense wealth suddenly fell into her lap. On the day of the wedding, Xue Ling had long since forgotten the man she had used and then discarded. Sitting in the bridal sedan, she was filled with beautiful dreams. But not long after the sedan set off, it suddenly came to a halt. A faint fragrance drifted over on the wind, leaving her limbs weak and her mouth dry with instinctive desire. When a cold, pale, bony finger lifted the scarlet curtain of the sedan, the young man’s breathtakingly aloof face appeared before her. He embraced her trembling body, his beautiful eyes filled with an excitement that made her scalp prickle. Completely disregarding the fear and horror on her face, he said: “Xue Ling, I’ve finally found you. From now on, you should stay by my side forever.” — Gu Xingzhi was born with a special constitution that released an intoxicating fragrance capable of making people lose their reason. Over the years, countless people had fallen in love with him, become obsessed with him, and even slaughtered one another over him. He had never imagined that someone would blindfold him and humiliate him through such vile acts. At first, he was disgusted and maintained his usual aloof composure. Later, he began to anticipate it and crave it. He would obediently sit in a cold, damp corner, clutching a rusted bell and excitedly waiting for her to come. But one day, she suddenly disappeared. She disappeared just when he needed her most, when he yearned most for the warmth of her body… But it didn’t matter. He remembered every inch of her skin, every strand of her hair, and her voice… He would find her and hide her away. He would never discard her as casually as she had discarded him. He would love Xue Ling. Love her. Love her. Love her… Reading Guide ● Character setup: An ordinary human heroine versus a top-tier incubus hero. ● The heroine is an ordinary person with flaws in her personality and a dark side.
