Bride of the Black ledger

I was never supposed to exist in this world — just a shadow of someone else’s name.



Raised in the labyrinth of Fujian, I knew nothing of Beijing’s blood-soaked secrets until my estranged father dragged me from my grandmother’s warmth. Now, I wear the face of a girl I’ve never met — the legitimate daughter he’s selling off like wine at a banquet.



To Lu Xichian, I was just a body in the dark. Drugged. Delivered. Disposable.



Now I live in a villa I don’t belong to, serve people who mock me, and carry the weight of a night no one dares to name. Lin Ruan, the girl meant to marry him, laughs over champagne. Sheng Wuang calls me obedient. And my father? He watches from the shadows, spinning webs I can’t yet see.



But I’m not as breakable as they think.



My name is Kui Fu. And I will not be erased.
