[Status: COMPLETED] 

In her previous life, Adrienne Jiang had used all means to save her mother’s life. Her father had neglected her after marrying his mistress, allowing the mother-and-daughter pair to bully her to no end. The older brother whom she thought she could rely on gave her a cold shoulder and chastised her instead for not cutting their mother’s life support.

In her despair, Adrienne almost fell into the trap set by her stepsister. In the end, she entered a contractual marriage with her best friend’s brother, Alistair Han, a man she’d been carrying a torch for from a young age.

Only then did she realize that the man was manipulative and obsessive, not wanting her out of sight. She had been treated like a bird trapped in a golden cage.

In the end, she met her demise at the betrayal of her brother and everything was lost in the fire. After being reborn, she was determined not to continue being a good-for-nothing person.

Lennox Qin, the vicious young master of the Qin family, was set to become the next head of their family. However, because of an incident, he was crippled and deemed unworthy. When he and Adrienne’s paths crossed, they came to an agreement.

“I’ll marry you to remove your bad luck and be your wife for two years. In return, allow me to use you to destroy the Han and Jiang families.”

The man seated in a wheelchair merely raised a brow at her declaration. His lips then curled into a dashing smile and he agreed without batting an eyelid. However, when the time was almost up, he rushed to convince her to stay in their marriage.

“Madam Qin deserves the best. If it’s the world you desire, I’ll bring it to you on a silver platter. You can have the entire world, but darling, do not forget that while everything belongs to you, you belong to me.”

Adrienne furrowed her brows.

“But you don’t even like me...” She reasoned out, thinking that her husband might have lost his mind.

“No, I didn’t, but I do love you now. In fact, you are the only one I think of these days.”

However, it seemed to her that not only her husband was trying to get her attention but her in-laws as well.

Reborn Young Miss: Phoenix Burning Red

"How come you never tell me anything about you and Gavin?" Adrienne questioned her best friend as she put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher after giving them a quick rinse in the sink.

Myrtle's face flushed, and she looked away. "Did he tell you?"

Adrienne shook her head. "No. It was Lennox who told me. Gavin told him about it."

She supposed Lennox asked his best friend about it as Adrienne couldn't give him a definite answer as to what Gavin's relationship was to Myrtle.

Her best friend remained silent momentarily as if Myrtle were trying to find the right words to explain her relationship with Lennox's right-hand man.

Finally, Myrtle sighed and said, "I guess I've hesitated to share because it's complicated. Gavin and I have been seeing each other on and off for the past few months, but we're not officially together. We both have our own reasons for keeping it low-key."

You Are Special, Myrtle (2)
