I felt his fingers move within me once more, slipping out only to be replaced by two, then three. His wedding ring gleamed in the dim light, slick with my heat-a silver shackle marked by my pleasure.

Her only true torment is Julian, the Duke of Blackwood.

When the sun rises, the Duke's pristine restraint completely snaps. He refuses to let his Fox retreat back into the shadows.

He cheated. He lied. And he thought I'd never find out. For three years, I gave everything to my marriage while my husband, Nathan, secretly gave his time, affection, and promises to another woman. Then I found the proof. And from that moment on, something inside me changed. I didn't confront him. I didn't cry in front of him. I didn't let a single word slip. Nathan never noticed. To him, I was still the same loving wife who trusted him completely. He had no idea that every smile, every quiet dinner, and every ordinary conversation was hiding a truth he wasn't supposed to know. While Nathan continued living comfortably, believing his secret was safe, I quietly began rebuilding the life I had sacrificed for him-my career, my confidence, my independence, and the woman I used to be. I wasn't planning a scene. I was planning my exit. And when the time comes, Nathan won't get a warning. He won't get an explanation. He won't even get the chance to watch me fall apart. He'll simply wake up one day and realize that the wife he thought would always be there... is gone. Not broken. Not begging. Not waiting for him. Just finally free. And by the time Nathan discovers what I knew all along, I'll be far beyond his reach.

She sent letter after letter back to the capital, but none were ever answered. Helpless and alone, she was eventually burned alive in a fire set by others, dying with hatred in her heart. ...

As a virtuous wife, does it include tolerating his cousin, enduring his concubines, bearing his mother? If you will not let me live freely, why would I let you live in satisfaction? Did fate let women time-travel so she could learn the three morals and four virtues? Rather than act like a coward and live, it would be better to live in satisfaction and die. ✍️ Butterfly's Shadow Beneath The Moon, Yue Xia Die Ying

Every glance calculated. Every step taken as though walking along the edge of a blade. Yes, the emperor will dine with you. He will laugh with you. He may even favor you for a time. And for that fleeting favor, you will be rewarded with silk, gold, and a life others can only dream of. But dreams have a way of turning into cages. Because within the palace, affection is currency, trust is a weapon, and love... is the most dangerous illusion of all. From the outside, it sounds like an enviable position.
