Determined to change her fate, she clung tightly to the powerful military officer Yan Ye, doing everything she could to curry favor with the future big shot.

She thought she could finally relax once her position was secured. But she never expected the man to roll his Adam’s apple, lean in close to her ear, and murmur, “Lie down properly.”
