Chapter 1
*“I don’t care! On the very night of your engagement party with Weimen, you must sleep with him!”*
_Slap!_
A single whip lashed hard across the back of the beautiful woman.
In the midst of the evening drizzle, she struggled to endure the pain as she received several more lashes from Xiaobo—the man who guaranteed her brother’s safety.
“Figure out your own strategy. I don’t care how you manage to become his bed warmer. What matters is that you become pregnant, immediately. If not, I will stop your brother’s treatment,” ordered Xiaobo, Weimen’s father.
The woman was Shi Yu. She remained silent, enduring the pain as the lashes left marks across her back. Shi Yu did not fight back against Xiaobo because she still needed his help for her brother’s recovery. She closed her eyes tightly, accepting the lashes while silently swearing in her heart that Xiaobo would pay dearly for what he was doing to her now.
Unbeknownst to Xiaobo, Shi Yu stared at him with a gaze that held a thousand ways to erase the satisfied smile on his face as he tormented her. Shi Yu was not the type of woman who remained silent when others abused her. However, she had to control herself and not lose restraint against Xiaobo, for fear that her brother’s safety would be jeopardized.
Xiaobo wanted Weimen to have an heir as soon as possible. Because if Weimen had a child, then without any conditions, Weimen would be formally declared the sole heir of the Lu family. With Weimen as the heir of the Lu family, Xiaobo would undoubtedly sit comfortably, enjoying the pleasure of being rich, powerful, and the most feared person by many.
“Very well, Sir. I will follow all of your orders,” Shi Yu said with full obedience and fear. Xiaobo smiled in satisfaction, knowing he could use another person’s suffering as a tool to fulfill his plan.
On the very night of Shi Yu’s engagement to Weimen, Shi Yu began preparing to carry out the task Xiaobo had given her—to engage in intimacy, something she had never imagined herself doing before. Yet for the sake of her brother’s recovery—her only family—she was forced to become a slave to Xiaobo’s command and willingly entered the dangerous Lu family.
“There’s nothing else I need to think about twice. I have to be able to do this,” she murmured.
Shi Yu clenched her fists tightly, a glint of vengeance flashing in her eyes as she thought of her deceased parents.
Shi Yu strengthened her resolve to continue with her plan, regardless of what dangers might lie ahead. The most important thing was that her revenge must be fulfilled.
“Father, Mother, I know you would agree with my decision this time, and I know you will protect me from there. Wait until I can avenge you—I will leave,” Shi Yu whispered, her face filled with deep sorrow as she remembered her parents who were no longer alive.
Shi Yu opened Weimen’s bedroom door quietly. The dim lighting made her heart pound violently. She began stepping toward a man sitting on the sofa near the bed, but she could not see his face because only the bedside lamp was on. The faint light prevented Shi Yu from recognizing who the man sitting on the sofa was. Not wanting to delay her task, Shi Yu immediately sat on the man’s lap and seized his lips with wild abandon. Although it was undeniable that Shi Yu was extremely nervous while initiating a touch she had never done before, she succeeded in arousing the man she was now caressing.
“I have to do it. I have to make Weimen fall in love with me. I already promised Mr. Xiaobo that my life and death are in their hands, and the most important thing is that my brother is saved,” Shi Yu murmured to herself, as tears began to fall. From this night onward, Shi Yu’s game had begun.
Shi Yu had to do whatever her task required. After everything was over, she would leave and free herself from the Lu family.
Shi Yu continued to caress the man’s face and neck, even his Adam’s apple rising and falling with the movement of her lips. The two of them began to seem as if they were truly enjoying a game that had never been planned for them to play.
Without restraint, Shi Yu surrendered to Shen’s strong hands as they explored every inch of her body. The sensation felt like a powerful electric shock, and before she realized it, Shi Yu let out a moan of pleasure—as if she were intoxicated by love, not driven by Xiaobo’s threat.
At first, Shen was momentarily stunned when Shi Yu suddenly claimed his lips. But in the next second, Shen immediately responded to every movement of Shi Yu’s lips and hands, until Shi Yu became completely absorbed in the game she herself had initiated.
“What an extraordinary welcome from a sister-in-law greeting her brother-in-law,” Shen Xavier said as he switched on the bright light. This startled Shi Yu, and she immediately leapt off Shen Xavier’s lap, hastily straightening her disheveled evening gown in fear.
Shi Yu tried to distance herself from Shen because she knew exactly what kind of man he was. But Shen held her body back, preventing her from moving away. Shen smiled, yet Shi Yu grew even more terrified because she understood the meaning behind that smile.
“Am I going to die by his hands before I can avenge myself? Shen is no ordinary man. He could destroy the entire Lu family in five seconds, let alone me, who has nothing,” Shi Yu thought, overcome with fear at the sight of Shen’s smile. On top of that, Shen’s hand began to move toward her neck, applying slight pressure until Shi Yu felt her life might end before her revenge was fulfilled.
