The luxurious stretched Lincoln was slowly heading up the mountain.

Lin Yu Jing, dressed in a white wedding gown, was sitting in the spacious back seat. She watched as the scenery slowly transitioned from bustling skyscrapers filled with hustle and bustle to serenity and quietness.

The broad mountain road was devoid of humans and cars. The road was flanked by towering trees of various kinds.

While the scenery was lush and green, it also seemed somewhat dark and chilly.

Still dressed in her white wedding gown, Lin Yu Jing subconsciously clenched her fists, her heart filled with unease.

Today was supposed to be her joyous wedding day, but there was not a sight of a groom, bridesmaids, wedding ceremony, banquet, diamond ring, not even a whiff of family and friends or well-wishes. Only a car from the groom's family arrived to whisk her away from her family home.

It should have been her cousin who should be going through all these. Not her.

However, in the end, the one getting married was herself.

The car continued on the winding mountain road for about another half an hour before coming to a stop at the entrance of a castle.

The bodyguard in the front passenger seat stepped out, respectfully opened the car door for Lin Yu Jing and said, "Ma'am, we have arrived. Please step out."

Lin Yu Jing glanced at the bodyguard, picked up her dress hem, stepped out of the car, and looked at the massive grey castle in front of her. Her eyes flashed with awe.

Such a huge castle, she had only seen it on television. She had always heard that the Lu family owned a castle atop Cloud Summit, but had never seen it with her own eyes, until today.

The entire castle was built with gray bricks, roofed with black. It stood tall at the pinnacle of the mountain, surrounded by silence, inducing an inexplicable sense of oppression and fear.

It was as if the castle in front of her was a man-eating monster. Once inside, one would be devoured.

"Madam." The castle gate slowly opened, and a middle-aged man dressed in a Zhongshan suit, wearing silver-rimmed glasses walked out.

The man looked at Lin Yu Jing and said, "My name is Li Jian Lai, I am the steward of the Cloud Palace."

Cloud Palace is the name of the castle.

Lin Yu Jing nodded, "Nice to meet you."

The steward looked at Lin Yu Jing, smiled lightly, and said, "Madam, please follow me, the master is waiting for you."

Lin Yu Jing felt a knot in her stomach, nodded and followed the steward through the grand entrance.

Upon entering, she was greeted by a grand garden - a fountain, a swimming pool, and exquisitely trimmed bushes. It was beautiful.

But Lin Yu Jing had no heart to admire the view. She lowered her eyes slightly and nervously clenched her dress hem. She was nervous, and she was afraid.

Once inside the house, Li Jian Lai said, "Madam, please wait here for a moment. I'll go call the master."

"... Okay," Lin Yu Jing nodded lightly.

Li Jian Lai went upstairs.

Dressed in her wedding gown, Lin Yu Jing stood in the vast living room. After a while, she heard a sound, it seemed like the sound of a wheelchair sliding on the floor.

She looked up.

And there he was - her new husband, Lu Ji.

His handsome face was imposing, looking down at her from a high place with a calm indifference, seemingly devoid of human feelings and desires, like a god. And she was just a mere ant on the ground, he can casually crush.

"So, this is the substitute sent by the Lin Family?" Lu Ji broke the silence, his voice was pleasing, yet his words felt like falling into an ice pit, chilling to the bone.

With a feeling of humiliation, Lin Yu Jing lightly bit her lip. He was right, she was nothing more than a substitute.

"That's correct," the butler respectfully replied, "Sir, this is Miss Lin Yu Jing, from the second Lin family."

Lu Ji glanced at Lin Yu Jing, his expression indifferent. "Clean her up, then send her to my room."

With that, he wheeled himself away.

"Yes."

Lin Yu Jing: "...."

Clean up? Send to his room? What did that mean?

Did it mean what she thought it did?

Two maids approached Lin Yu Jing with a courteous, "Madam, we will take you for a wash."

Lin Yu Jing was led away by the maids, given a full SPA treatment, until she was thoroughly cleaned and smelling sweetly. Only then was she delivered to the door of Lu Ji's room.

The maids left.

Standing in front of the door, Lin Yu Jing hesitated for a long while. Finally, she took a deep breath and pushed the door open.

As she entered, she saw an extravagant European-style bed. Lu Ji was leaning against the head of the bed, his expression was cold as he looked at her.

A little startled, Lin Yu Jing lowered her head.

"Lift your head," ordered Lu Ji, his tone frigid.

"......"

Lin Yuqing slowly lifts her head.

Facing Lu Ji.

He was once her cousin’s fiancé, the CEO of Lu Corporation, the crown jewel of C City, but an accident has left him paralyzed from his waist down, resigned to spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.

As for her cousin, Lin Yuxing, she was the shining star of C City's society and naturally, she couldn’t marry a man with a disability. Therefore, her cousin and her uncle and aunt conspired to make her take Lin Yuxing’s place as Lu Ji’s wife.

Lu Ji looks at Lin Yuqing.

Engaged to Lin Yuxing for two years, he naturally knew Lin Yuqing, but…the Lin Yuqing in front of him was quite different from the Lin Yuqing he knew.

The Lin Yuqing he knew always wore large, thick black-rimmed glasses, with her heavy bangs covering half of her face, her back perpetually slightly curved, often dressed in loose, ill-fitted gray clothes.

She was so mediocre that she even seemed pathetic compared to the dazzling Lin Yuxing, the difference between heaven and earth.

But the Lin Yuqing in front of him now, was indeed beautiful.

Her heavy bangs were swept up to reveal a plump and radiant forehead, her eyes big and bright, her nose small and straight. And her lips, cherry red.

What attracts him the most is...

Lu Ji's gaze fell onto her chest.

She was woaring a spaghetti strap silk nightgown, a simple and basic design, yet she made it immensely alluring.

Her proud, fair bosom seemed ready to burst out of her nightgown at any moment.

A dark desire flashed across the bottom of Lu Ji's eyes.

Lin Yu surprised knew Lu Ji was looking at her. She was so nervous, her body constricted and stiff, but her heart was exceptionally lively and pounding.

Lu Ji’s gaze moved downwards, her legs were long and straight, made even more appealing by her snowy white skin.

She was a sight that could cause any man’s heart to flutter.

Her previous thick-framed glasses, shaggy bangs, and loose clothing were all intended to make herself look unattractive, all for the sake of hiding her beauty.

Huh…

Some people were like peacocks, showing off their beauty vehemently.

Others, however, were doing their utmost to hide their brilliance.

"Come over." Lu Ji commanded in his gruff voice.

Lin Yu surprised's body shuddered, giving him a timid look, then slowly shuffled over, coming to the edge of the bed.

"Get on." Lu Ji said.

Lin Yu surprised was stunned, looking at Lu Ji in surprise. Her face turned slightly red, and after a moment of hesitation, she gently lifted the quilt and laid on it.

Although she had no experience, she somehow knew a little bit... A woman should just lie flat, right?

The rest would be done by the man.

She anxiously and nervously waited.

"......"

Lu Ji looked at the girl who lay flat at his side, speechless for a moment.

"Climb on." Lu Ji said.

"......huh?" Lin Yu looked at Lu Ji, puzzled and surprised.

Wasn't she already on?

"What I mean is, straddle across me." Lu Ji said.
