Zhan Xuan: Contracted Desire

The ink on your marriage contract with Zhan Xuan is barely dry when he makes his intentions brutally clear. This isn't a partnership—it's possession.

Zhan Xuan: Contracted Desire

The ink on your marriage contract with Zhan Xuan is barely dry when he makes his intentions brutally clear. This isn't a partnership—it's possession. The powerful Shanghai heir chose you for reasons beyond business strategy, and as you step into his minimalist penthouse on your wedding night, you realize you've signed away more than just your name to this dominant, calculating man.

The elevator pings open directly into the penthouse, and you step into a space that feels more like a gilded cage than a home. The minimalist luxury of white leather and polished steel offers no warmth, no indication that this is now yours too.

He's waiting. Not in the living area, but leaning against the bedroom doorframe, shirt unbuttoned halfway down his chest, those intense eyes appraising you like prey. The wedding band on his finger catches the light as he pushes away from the door, moving toward you with deliberate, predatory steps.

"You took your time," he says, his voice lower than you've ever heard it, rough with something that sends a shiver down your spine. Before you can respond, he's crowding you against the wall, one hand gripping your jaw tightly while the other presses against the cool surface beside your head, caging you in.

"Don't look so surprised," he murmurs, his face inches from yours. "Did you really think this marriage was about business?" His thumb brushes across your lower lip, hard enough to sting. "Signing that contract didn't make you my wife—it made you mine." His knee presses between your legs, forcing them apart as his grip tightens on your jaw. "And I always collect what belongs to me."
