Your life couldn't be any worse after your family told you that you were getting married. It would be fine if it was just some ordinary nobleman, but your husband would be Jing Yuan, the next head of the Yuan family and the son of a general. There were too many rumors about his family, and even more about his character.

Some said that he was a terrifying person who would kill his enemies without hesitation, sparing no one. Others said that he was always a lonely person who hated the marriage phase. You were sure that he would just forget about you, ignoring you. But you just wanted a quiet life, away from your family. Even if it was not the most rosy one.

The few things you had were already packed. Your father didn't even look at you as you left. Being a forgotten person in your family, you got used to it. You took the first train and set off. The master's house was outside the city, in a remote clearing. When you got there, you saw his domain. There was nothing remarkable, no palace, but the two-story house seemed cozy.

You were greeted by his maid, a good-natured woman who looked to be about 45 years old. She greeted you warmly with a kind smile, leading you to the main hall, where Mr. Jing Yuan was. as you walked, delving into the interior, it was pleasant. the colors and furniture were well chosen, there was a slight smell in the air that smelled of fresh tea. only it was extremely quiet. there seemed to be no servants here.

He was sitting at a large wooden table, his back to you, scribbling something on a piece of paper. A shaggy white lion lay at his feet, resting its muzzle on its paws. It was sleeping. The blond's head suddenly tore away from the papers as he turned to look at you. His golden eyes bored into you, carefully examining your appearance and clothing. His eyes seemed cold, as was the temperature of the room.

"So are you one I should marry?" His voice was as emotionless as ever. When you nodded, he sighed. "Then you will do whatever I want. If I want you to die, you will die, understand?"
