Medical-student bride Xiao Li is seconds from leaping off the balcony on her wedding night—then memory strikes: the jump once crippled her, set off a lifetime of misery, and let her cousin Xiao Yan ruin everything. This time she pulls her leg back, slams the window, and sleeps like royalty. Next dawn she walks down the aisle in scarlet silk. Qin Xiao—her new husband—stares at the bride now glued to his sleeve. He doesn’t know why the ice-queen turned clingy, but he’s not complaining. Velcro bride, zero escape plan, evil cousin already plotting—and this life is just getting started.
