Chapter 1Chapter 1: Unveiling the Truth

Han Yuling stood at the cliff's edge, her heart heavy with the burden of her past. The wind whipped through her hair, carrying with it the scent of salt and sea. Below her, the waves crashed against the rocky shore, a constant reminder of the tumultuous journey that had brought her to this moment.

"Are you just going to stand there all day?" a voice called behind her.

Han Yuling turned to see her childhood friend, Xiao Wei, approaching with a concerned expression.

"I was just... thinking," she replied, her voice barely above a whisper.

Xiao Wei nodded, his eyes scanning the horizon with longing. "It's hard to believe it's been ten years since we last stood here together," he said, his voice tinged with nostalgia.

Han Yuling nodded, her thoughts drifting back to that fateful day when everything had changed. "So much has happened since then," she murmured, her gaze distant.

Xiao Wei took her hand, his touch warm and reassuring. "We've been through a lot, Han Yuling," he said, his voice filled with emotion. "But no matter what happens, I'll always be here for you."

Han Yuling smiled, grateful for his unwavering support. "Thank you, Xiao Wei," she said, her voice choked with emotion. "I don't know what I would do without you."

As they stood there together, Han Yuling felt a sense of peace wash over her. Despite the challenges ahead, she knew that as long as she had Xiao Wei, she could face whatever the future held.

As Han Yuling and Xiao Wei made their way through the crowded streets of Shanghai City, their conversation turned to past events. Memories of their childhood together flooded back, filling them with a sense of nostalgia for a time long gone.

"Do you remember when we snuck into Old Man Zhang's orchard and stole apples?" Xiao Wei asked a mischievous twinkle in his eye.

Han Yuling laughed, the sound light and carefree. "How could I forget?" she replied, her voice tinged with amusement. "We barely made it out of there alive!"

Their laughter was interrupted by footsteps behind them, and they turned to see a figure approaching with purposeful strides.

"Who's that?" Han Yuling asked, her brow furrowed with curiosity.

Xiao Wei shrugged, his gaze fixed intently on the approaching figure. "I'm not sure," he admitted, his voice tinged with uncertainty. "But something tells me we're about to find out."

As the figure drew closer, Han Yuling felt a sense of unease wash over her. There was something familiar about the way he moved, something that stirred a long-buried memory deep within her soul.

"Hello, Han Yuling," the figure said, his voice cold and calculating. "It's been a long time."

Han Yuling's eyes widened in shock as she recognized the face of her former lover, Li Chen. "What are you doing here?" she demanded, her voice tinged with anger.

Li Chen smiled, a cruel twist of amusement curling his lips. "I've come to settle a score," he said, his voice dripping with malice. "And it looks like you'll help me do it."

Han Yuling's heart pounded with fear as she realized the depth of Li Chen's betrayal. Little did she know, their encounter was about to plunge her into a world of deceit and betrayal, where the lines between friend and foe would blur, and the truth would be revealed in the most unexpected ways.

"So, you laugh?" His voice was low, dangerously soft, making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I swallowed hard, suddenly aware of how difficult it had become to breathe. "Hades, I—" "But you only laugh at other men's jokes," he interrupted, his gaze piercing, devoid of any humor. "Not your husband's." The accusation in his tone was sharp, slicing through the air between us. A nervous chuckle escaped me. "You can't be serious... He’s your beta, for Goddess’ sake." In an instant, he closed the distance between us, so fast it left me breathless. His hands gripped my waist, pulling me flush against his body, the heat of him making my skin tingle. I gasped, but before I could say a word, his lips crashed onto mine, claiming my mouth with a force that sent shockwaves through me. The kiss was punishing, hungry—I couldn't breathe, couldn't think. When he finally pulled back, I was trembling, my chest heaving as I struggled to regain my breath. His eyes, dark and stormy, searched mine with a possessive intensity. "You can’t laugh at my jokes..." he whispered, his voice a dangerous rasp as his fingers trailed lower, sending a shiver down my spine, "but you’ll come with my fingers." I shivered, heat pooling low in my belly at his words, his touch. The world around us blurred, fading into nothing as his hand slipped lower, drawing a ragged gasp from my lips. The look in his eyes told me he knew exactly what he was doing to me, and there was no denying the primal connection between us in that moment. "I don’t need your laughter," he murmured against my skin, his breath hot on my neck. "I’ll have every other part of you instead." **** Dark fantasy romance Morally Grey ML Angst Suspense ENEMIES to lovers Smut (like sprinkles on your ice cream)

Seeing him smirk she forced herself to get comfortable as he spoke. “That’s more like it. You said it yourself that no one forced you into marrying me. Instead, you offered and volunteered yourself willingly for it, so I expect that you’ll be confident enough to share a bath with your husband,” Nikolai confidently stated. “After all, we’ll do more than this soon enough.” Shameless… Preventing herself from rolling her eyes, she managed to give him a smile as she said, “Don’t blame me if you die on me then.” **** Note: Volume 1: Main Story Status - Completed (Chapters 1 to 403) Volume 2: Side Story Status - Completed (Chapters 404 to 472) Volume 3: Side Story Status - Completed (Chapters 473 to 491) **** PS: Commissioned Book Cover owned by the Author!
