"Zijin, Zijin..." The man's eyes were drunk and blurry. Despite being on top of her, the name he was muttering was that of another woman.

From the moment she agreed to marry, she knew the ending. But, it was only now, all her vain hopes were finally shattered and scattered.

He didn't love her. He just wanted a suitable marriage partner.

And she, quite obviously, was just that suitable woman.

Qin Tianyi closed her eyes, tears slipping down her cheeks.

----

"Qin Tianyi." On the next morning, while she was still trapped in her nightmare, the harsh voice woke her up.

Opening her eyes and looking at the neatly dressed man standing by the bed, she finally realized a fact.

She was already married, married to Tang Yexiu, the man she had loved for seven years.

Tang Yexiu, always as cold as an iceberg, was now showing light disdain on his face. Looking at Qin Tianyi still lying in bed, he didn't bother to hide his feelings.

As Qin Tianyi propped herself up with one hand and sat up, the soreness from her body made her involuntarily frown.

Before she could regain her senses and speak, a box was thrown at her face, "Take it, I don't want any surprises."

Qin Tianyi stared blankly at the pillbox that had fallen next to her - Yuseting contraceptive pills.

Biting her lower lip to hide her embarrassment, she forced a smile and looked up at Tang Yexiu, "Of course I know, rest assured, I will definitely take them."

"I will rest assured when I see you take them." Tang Yexiu replied with a certain disgust, clearly not trusting Qin Tianyi.

Qin Tianyi curled her lips, straight in front of him, she opened the medicine box, took the medicine from inside, and slapped it into her mouth without hesitation, and then swallowed it.

"Now are you reassured, Young Master Tang?" She looked at Tang Yexiu with a hint of mockery in her voice.

Tang Yexiu did not speak, he coldly glanced at Qin Tianyi and left the room.

Once he left, Qin Tianyi felt as if all her energy was drained, she fell onto the bed, pulled up the quilt, buried herself under the covers, thinking of Tang Yexiu's attitude, on what should have been a joyful wedding night, she could not help but cry out in pain.

What was it for?

Despite everyone's opposition, she insisted on marrying this man, was it just to let him humiliate her?

Seven years of effort, so insignificant and unworthy in his eyes.

Qin Tianyi's tears did not last long, soon she pulled herself together from her emotions, cleaned her tears, tidied up, carefully did her makeup, then put on high heels and left Tang's house in a hurry to go to work.

She was not only Tang Yexiu's wife, but also his personal assistant.

Yet, they were in a secret marriage, a relationship that needs to be concealed from their colleagues at work.

As she strode into the office, she hadn't even set down her things when she heard Tang Yexiu's cold voice, "If you can't arrive at the company on time, then you might not need to come at all in the future."

Qin Tianyi's heart ached at his words.

This man was withdrawing his support faster than she could have imagined.

Qin Tianyi forced out a smile. "I'm sorry, President Tang, I just got married and was a bit tired last night, so I was a little late, it won't happen again."

Hearing Qin Tianyi's words, Tang Yexiu's eyes squinted unconsciously and his look at her became even colder.
