As it turns out, a woman in love is invariably somewhat dim-witted; Du Lianshuang was, and Liao Jingyi even more so.
Cui Chengye told her to take contraceptives, and she did; he told her not to tell her parents, and she complied. She had been so thoroughly manipulated that she obeyed his every word. It was precisely this submission that would eventually lead to tragedy.
Cui Chengye’s heart was even greedier and more ruthless than his father’s. From the very beginning, he never intended for Liao Jingyi to bear his children. He had no interest in his father’s schemes about "reclaiming the family lineage." His plan was to ensure she could never conceive, so she would unknowingly and willingly raise children for him.
