Reborn Young Miss: Phoenix Burning Red

[Status: COMPLETED] In her previous life, Adrienne Jiang had used all means to save her mother’s life. Her father had neglected her after marrying his mistress, allowing the mother-and-daughter pair to bully her to no end. The older brother whom she thought she could rely on gave her a cold shoulder and chastised her instead for not cutting their mother’s life support. In her despair, Adrienne almost fell into the trap set by her stepsister. In the end, she entered a contractual marriage with her best friend’s brother, Alistair Han, a man she’d been carrying a torch for from a young age. Only then did she realize that the man was manipulative and obsessive, not wanting her out of sight. She had been treated like a bird trapped in a golden cage. In the end, she met her demise at the betrayal of her brother and everything was lost in the fire. After being reborn, she was determined not to continue being a good-for-nothing person. Lennox Qin, the vicious young master of the Qin family, was set to become the next head of their family. However, because of an incident, he was crippled and deemed unworthy. When he and Adrienne’s paths crossed, they came to an agreement. “I’ll marry you to remove your bad luck and be your wife for two years. In return, allow me to use you to destroy the Han and Jiang families.” The man seated in a wheelchair merely raised a brow at her declaration. His lips then curled into a dashing smile and he agreed without batting an eyelid. However, when the time was almost up, he rushed to convince her to stay in their marriage. “Madam Qin deserves the best. If it’s the world you desire, I’ll bring it to you on a silver platter. You can have the entire world, but darling, do not forget that while everything belongs to you, you belong to me.” Adrienne furrowed her brows. “But you don’t even like me...” She reasoned out, thinking that her husband might have lost his mind. “No, I didn’t, but I do love you now. In fact, you are the only one I think of these days.” However, it seemed to her that not only her husband was trying to get her attention but her in-laws as well.

Under the Guise of Protection (2)

It had been two weeks. Two fucking weeks since her last visit to Jinxiu Garden and Lennox's words continued to play in her mind even through the late nights. It was whispering to her, taunting her, reminding her of her weaknesses and vulnerability. But what was worse was his suggestion to put a person on her side to keep an eye on her under the guise of protection.

Adrienne knew Lennox was nothing like Alistair and it wasn't his fault she was reacting like this. The memories of her previous life continued to haunt her, giving her nightmares as if trying to remind her not to forget the cost of her foolishness. However, in the end, Adrienne begrudgingly agreed and accepted Lennox's trusted aid to be on her side.

Adrienne was at home when Irina arrived at the Jiang estate. She was reading another book about finance when Mother Wang came to her to announce the other woman's arrival.
