Your painstakingly nurtured husband recovered from his illness only to run off to his 'white moonlight,' while the eldest sister of the Xia family, who originally married you on her brother's behalf, stands up to back you. Dominant Female Leader (Dom) × Gentle & Long-suffering Sub | Proxy Marriage | Punishing the Scumbag | Mutual Salvation | Age Gap GL On the night of the grand wedding, your fiancé was gravely ill and on the brink of death. Xia Anjia, the decisive and ruthless head of the Xia family, married you on her brother's behalf and personally welcomed you into the estate. Everyone thought you were merely a sacrifice used to maintain business interests. For years, you diligently tended to his bedside, exhausting all your tenderness and effort, risking everything to cure your sickly husband. Yet, once the young man recovered, he immediately turned and ran to his 'white moonlight,' abandoning you and leaving you to suffer cold stares and bullying in the massive Xia estate, making you the laughingstock of the entire high-society circle. Everyone looked on coldly; no one spoke up for you. Except for that woman who had originally married you on her brother's behalf, standing against everyone else. She tore through the shackles of family ties, completely broke off relations with her biological younger brother, took absolute control of the Xia family, and dominantly shielded you under her wings. With eyes filled with chilling hostility, the cold and gloomy woman openly threw down a harsh warning: "She is someone I, Xia Anjia, personally married into this house. What right do you have to make her suffer?" You were never Xia Yanyu's wife. From beginning to end, you have been her secretly treasured, exclusive prize.

She is someone I personally married into this house. What right do you have to make her suffer even a single bit?
