The Entwined Pearl

[An emotionally detached woman hidden under a delicate facade vs. A gloomy, love-starved, humble, and clingy man] Shen Yuanzhu, a woman who valued money above all else, gave what little sincerity she possessed to Xie Xuchuan, only for him to turn around and have a child with someone else. He said, “Yuanzhu, you raise the child. The inheritance will go to him, and I will give you other forms of compensation.” Shen Yuanzhu thought he had lost his mind. Since the engagement was bound by mutual interests and could not be dissolved, she chose to simply swap the man. After all, Xie Xuchuan wasn’t the only choice in the Xie family! Just as she locked onto her target, she was snatched into a wolf’s den by a “wicked wolf” lurking in the shadows. Both belonged to the Xie family’s primary branch, but while Xie Xuchuan was the family’s pride and joy, Xie Qi was treated like weeds by the roadside and soot on a pot. Xie Qi refused to accept this, so he fought and he snatched. During the day, while Xie Xuchuan and Shen Yuanzhu passed each other by, at night, Xie Qi would lie on the ground at death’s door: “Yuanzhu, have some pity on me…” Whenever Xie Xuchuan and Shen Yuanzhu’s eyes met, Xie Qi would say: “Yuanzhu, give me a hug…” Shen Yuanzhu was driven to distraction by Xie Qi, that two-faced demon. Holding Shen Yuanzhu, Xie Qi said, “A stolen wife is truly the sweetest.” — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Entwined Pearl — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
