Reaching out slowly to hold his body, Ling Rong's lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile.
She became his woman, and he would be her eternal man.
Her thoughts drifted far as she recalled their first encounter.
Her father, addicted to gambling, lost a large sum of money, and the family had long been unable to repay his debts.
The gambling house offered two ways to repay the money.
One was to have her father's hands cut off.
The other was to sell her to a brothel to pay off the debt.
Although her father was addicted to gambling, he still loved her somewhat.
He couldn't bear to sell her.
Nor could she stand to see her father's hands cut off.
So, they planned to escape, leave the North Imperial City, and start a new life elsewhere.
However, they hadn't gone far before the gambling house pursued them.
They beat her father and then dragged her away to sell her to the brothel.
She was terrified, helpless, crying, and refused to go.
