My Devilish Husband is Too Overbearing

The lavender fields were in full bloom, their fragrance saturating the air with a pure and soothing scent. Under the gentle night breeze, the sea of flowers rippled like waves of purple silk. Su Mi, clutching her phone as a flashlight, carefully navigated the ridges of the lavender field toward a small white house in the distance. The night wind was cold, and she wore nothing but a simple white cotton nightgown and cartoon bunny slippers. Seeing the house up ahead, a hint of relief spread across her face. But before she could take another step, a powerful force surged from the flower bushes beside her. A large hand clamped down on her delicate right shoulder. “Ah!” Su Mi cried out in shock, dropping her phone into the dense flowers. The faint light from the screen vanished instantly. In the next moment, Su Mi was pulled into a broad, heated chest. “One million for one night. That’s the price,” a deep, gravelly male voice rumbled behind her. The voice was rich and hoarse, like the low notes of a bass instrument, sending a shiver down her spine. Before Su Mi could react, the world spun around her, and she found herself pinned beneath the man in the fragrant lavender field. “No! You’ve got the wrong person!” Su Mi exclaimed, her eyes wide with terror as she struggled fiercely. “Hmm... don’t squirm. Eager already? Good girl,” the man’s voice grew darker, laced with an intoxicating magnetism. “Let me go, you bastard!” Su Mi fought back, but the man’s tall and powerful frame pressed her down with unyielding force. Panic surged through her as she lifted her gaze to see the man’s face illuminated by the starlit sky. His sharp, chiseled features exuded an icy dominance, and his deep-set eyes burned with a lustful fire, both fervent and colder than the stars above. No matter how desperately she struggled, she was like a helpless rabbit trapped under the claws of a hawk. A tearing pain overwhelmed her resistance, and her cries were muffled as the man silenced her with a consuming kiss. Time blurred into a haze of despair and humiliation. Finally, his raspy voice sounded again, low and persuasive, tinged with a twisted tenderness. “Sweet girl, so delicious. Another million for another round, hmm?” “You animal! I’ll kill you!” Su Mi’s voice cracked as tears spilled from her eyes. This loathsome man! How could he desecrate such a pure and beautiful place with such monstrous acts? The gentle scent of lavender mingled with a heady, musky aroma, the fields bearing silent witness to an angel’s fall from grace. This was Zitian Town, famous for its vast lavender fields spanning thousands of acres. The town had become a popular filming location, attracting numerous directors and celebrities. Recently, the renowned international director Wang Zhen brought a team of award-winning actors to shoot a major production here. By chance, Su Mi, home for her university break, had caught the director’s eye, and he had invited her to play an important supporting role. But Su Mi hadn’t expected her sister, Su Qiang, to lock her out of the house late at night upon hearing the news. No matter how hard she knocked, her sister wouldn’t open the door. Even their parents, who must have heard the commotion, chose to remain silent, unwilling to stop Su Qiang. Her sister’s mocking words still echoed in her mind: “You must’ve slept your way to that role, didn’t you? Otherwise, why would the director pick you at first sight? Why are you even back here? Isn’t it better to stay in some five-star hotel with the director? I’m not opening the door. Get lost!” Homeless and humiliated, Su Mi had no choice but to seek shelter in the small decorative house in the lavender fields to escape the cold night wind. But she had never imagined the horrors that awaited her. Betrayed by family and assaulted by a ruthless stranger, Su Mi’s tears soaked the purple flowers beneath her. She didn’t know how many times the relentless, domineering man took her that night. When dawn finally broke, and the man, now thoroughly sated, released her bruised wrists, Su Mi clawed frantically at the ground. Her hand brushed against something hard—a stone. She grabbed it instinctively and swung it at the man’s head. “Sweet girl, tell me your na—ugh!” The man’s words were cut off as the stone struck him squarely on the head. Perhaps caught off guard in his post-sated lethargy, he didn’t have time to react. The stone found its mark.
