But then I married him." Kashi was no stranger to pain. Life had already left her with scars hidden beneath her quiet grace, teaching her to love in silence and endure in shadows. A classical dancer with a heart too tender for the world, she had learned to breathe through heartbreak-softly, silently, like silk holding itself together by a thread. Then she was forced into marriage with Bai Minsheng. The heir of the Chinese mafia. Ruthless. Cold. A man who carried storms in his eyes and power in every step. Their vows were not love. They were a deal. And on their wedding night, he disappeared-leaving her to wilt in his grand, suffocating mansion, forgotten and unloved. But Kashi did love. She loved him with every fragile breath, with a devotion that felt like air in her lungs-even when he wasn't there to see it. Now, Minsheng has returned. Harder. Colder. More merciless than before. And this time, he doesn't just forget her... He shatters what's left of her. But silk, though delicate, does not tear without a fight. And sometimes, even shadows must bow to the light.
