•STORY NOT MINE •DO NOT VOTE AUTHOR: 雲朵還是花 ASSOCIATED NAMES: 穿成男主回豪門前甩他的前女友 CHINESE WEBSITE: https://www.xbanxia.cc/books/410761.html [Romance + Slow and Steady Love] Fang Xihe opened her eyes-and realized she was in the body of the male lead's ex-girlfriend. A supporting character in a novel where a woman chased her husband. She had been cruel-rejecting him for being poor, toying with his feelings, humiliating him, dumping him, and marrying a rich second-generation heir. Soon after, the male lead was accepted back by his wealthy family, rising to Beijing's elite. There, he met the angelic female lead, who healed the wounds his ex had left. Meanwhile, the ex suffered domestic abuse despite her rich marriage. Later, she returned, clinging to the male lead, stirring chaos, and breaking the female lead's heart. Eventually, she was captured-and accidentally killed by her wealthy husband. --- And now, Fang Xihe's story began at the most critical moment: the male lead was proposing. She froze for a heartbeat-and said yes. The man before her was a prince of Beijing's elite, with immense wealth. Even a sliver of it would grant her freedom. She dreamed of becoming a rich heiress. Soon, the powerful patriarch flooded her with money, demanding she leave the male lead. At the same time, the male lead met his true love, showered her with gifts, and asked for a divorce. Then the patriarch arrived in person, handing her a blank check. "Fill in any amount-as long as you divorce Chen Zhou." Fang Xihe's mind raced. One hundred million? One billion? Before she could decide, a man stormed in, tearing the checkbook to shreds. "Don't insult my wife with money!"

Meet Elizabeth Wilson She once believed in fairy tales. A kindhearted girl born into nothing but hardship, she lived in the heart of Rome, a city that felt too big for her small, orphaned world. Elizabeth was a ballerina-a dreamer. She moved like poetry on a stage and spent her days balancing college classes and part-time jobs to pay for her survival. Despite everything, Elizabeth loved life's smallest blessings-the scent of fresh coffee, the sound of music through her headphones, the way the city lights reflected off rainy sidewalks. She believed in love. In kindness. In freedom. But fate had different plans. Because darkness doesn't always announce itself with storms. Sometimes, it walks into your life wearing a devil's smile. ● ● ● Enter Samuel Vitale. He wasn't a college boy. Not really. He looked the part-young, handsome, confident. But behind those cold hazel eyes lived a monster. A powerful drug dealer with blood on his hands and an empire in the making. He ran the underworld like a ghost. Smart, calculated, deadly. Samuel was ruthless. Born to chaos, raised by cruelty, he learned early that love was a weakness and loyalty was just another word for chains. But something shifted the day he saw her. Elizabeth. To him, she was light. Beauty. The one thing he didn't know he needed. And once he laid eyes on her, he couldn't look away. ● ● ● Read prologue for detailed description.

He wanted her scared. He wanted her desperate. He wanted her begging. Her on the floor, knees spread, dress pushed up, legs trembling while he loomed over her. Tears in her eyes as she whimpered his name. His hand tangled in her hair, forcing her to stay still while he... Those delicate legs? Made to be opened by him. His hands. His mouth. His torment. His bliss. He'd keep her in silk gowns and lock every door. He'd feed her, bathe her, cradle her... And then bend her over and breed her again.-her beneath him, crying out his name as he forced her open, spilling himself so deep inside her that her body would never forget. Watching his seed drip from her thighs only for him to push it back in, growling that it belonged to him. He imagined her swollen with his child, belly soft and round, marked by his hands, his teeth, his scent. Everyone would know and see it. She is his muse, his heaven and he is her cage. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Primrose was meant to bloom.
