Contract Marriage: The Replacement Groom
A few minutes before her wedding, Jeslyn found out her soon-to-be husband was only after the benefit he would get by marrying her. Heartbroken and feeling betrayed, she opted for the only option available at that moment, which was to get into a contract marriage with whichever man she could find, or else her family's fortune would end up in the hands of her enemies. … "Mister, please, will you marry me?" She asked him. A man she saw entering the restroom of the wedding venue. 'He must be one of the guests,' she thought. Maverick was taken aback by that proposal. He saw her flinch when he turned to look at her. It was apparent she got scared of him, yet she composed herself, ready to dive into the mystery before her. "It will be a marriage contract. We will get a divorce after one year," he heard her say. He also needed a woman for his brat, so he responded, "Deal." Unbeknownst to her, she just made a deal with the sweetest devil that could ever exist. ... He is the nightmare of country M, a country where evil rules. She is the little bunny raised with love and affection. Hurt a fly? No, she had never done that before. However, forced to become the demon's wife, she had no choice but to shed her fake persona. What little bunny? Who said she could not step on a pianist's fingers with her heels and pretend like she didn't mean it? Ha, those celebrities want to play the pity card? Do they want to garner the sympathy of the public? Well, why again is she called a 'little bunny'? Isn't it because she was the best at acting cute? Did no one tell these white lotuses wanting to dive into her husband's bed that she stole his soul when she spanked his naughty son? ....

Passed Judgement on Mulan.
"Reason," Maverick interrupted Mulan.
That was the second time he asked her for the reason Mulan raised her hand to slap his wife and he still hasn't gotten an answer.
Mulan swallowed. She knew him too well to grasp the meaning behind his question.
"I– I'm sorry," Mulan stuttered.
What reason could she have other than anger and jealousy? She couldn't tell Maverick it was because she was angry or jealous, right?
Maverick didn't say anything else but only turned his head to his men who were trailing behind him.
Number 2 immediately stepped out from the line of guards behind Maverick and started to walk towards Mulan.
Mulan suddenly had a weird feeling crawling towards her heart. Maverick hasn't said anything other than those two words, but she could already feel the heat on her back.
"The ties between the Lu family and the Wang family are severed, hence, you are not allowed to get close to my son. Disobeying the order will cost you more than you can imagine."
