Chapter 1

Gu Yan and I have been married for five years, and we still don’t have a child.

In order to have a baby, we finally decided to try IVF.

So for the past three months, I’ve been drinking Chinese herbal medicine.

During these three months of taking the medicine, for quite a while I would always feel sleepy before eight o’clock.

I thought it was a side effect of the medicine.

Until now, as I stand at the door of the baby’s room that Gu Yan personally designed for our future baby.

Watching the man and woman tangled together before me, and hearing the words they spoke.

Only then did I realize where that constant drowsiness really came from.

At this very moment, I even felt as if I were dreaming.

Because for all these years, Gu Yan and I had always been the model couple in everyone’s eyes.

He treated me so well it couldn’t possibly be better.

We’ve been together for eight years, and every single morning, without fail, he would squeeze toothpaste onto my brush before leaving.

The water he poured for me was always exactly 45 degrees.

He never forgot any meaningful day.

He was always thoughtful and attentive to my parents.

If I hadn’t been so exhausted after coming back from the ovulation-stimulating injection today,

If I hadn’t forgotten to drink the Chinese herbal medicine he had kept warm for me in the microwave,

Maybe I would never have known whether the one sleeping beside me was really a man or a monster.

The moment they changed positions, I saw the woman’s face clearly.

She was Hu Feier, the new intern at Gu Yan’s company.

But what they said next shattered my worldview even more.
