"What's wrong? Having regrets?" At that moment, Ling Feng's voice reached Inoue Sakura's ear, "If you regret it now, I can refuse this marriage proposal on your behalf."

Inoue Sakura turned her head to look at Ling Feng, she bit her lip, and with a complex expression, said, "Brother Lin, if I refuse this arranged marriage, will it mess up your plans?"

Ling Feng hesitated for a moment and said, "There will definitely be an impact, but..."

"Then I agree!" Inoue Sakura, with a determined gaze, looked at Ling Feng, "Brother Lin, I trust you. But I have a request, can you grant it for me?"

Looking into Inoue Sakura's eyes, Ling Feng felt a burning sensation, and he unconsciously turned his head and said, "A request? What request?"

"Help me put on this new dress!" Inoue Sakura said as she stood up and began to undress in front of Ling Feng, revealing her exquisite figure.

Ling Feng's eyes widened, not expecting Inoue Sakura to suddenly do such a thing.

"What are you doing!" Ling Feng exclaimed as he pulled on the bedcover, flipping it in the air and wrapping Inoue Sakura's body in it.

Inoue Sakura, with a steadfast gaze, looked at Ling Feng, "Brother Lin, what are you afraid of?"

"Am I afraid?" Ling Feng, frustrated, said, "Where do you see fear? Do you realize what you're doing!"

"Of course, I do!" Inoue Sakura said, looking at Ling Feng, "I just want to give my purest self to the man I love before getting married. Is that wrong?"

Ling Feng was stunned, and he did not know what to say anymore as he looked at Inoue Sakura.

Inoue Sakura bit her lip and said, "Brother Lin, take me tonight, please. I don't want to give my body to someone like Kurofuji Youshun, is that okay?"

Ling Feng took a deep breath, "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't I tell you, it's just an act. Don't think too much, you should rest."

Saying this, Ling Feng turned to leave.

"Brother Lin, if you leave just like this, I will hate you!" Inoue Sakura's hoarse voice came from behind him, filled with decisiveness and fear.

Ling Feng sighed, didn't stop, and left the room.

Inoue Sakura covered her mouth, tears flowing from her eyes. She wasn't a girl who didn't respect herself. Although Ling Feng had spoken, Inoue Sakura knew the other party was the Kuroto Family, one of the super clans at the pinnacle in Fusang; she couldn't think of any way Ling Feng could turn the situation around.

Thus, she had actually resigned herself to her fate, her only hope being to give her virginity to Ling Feng, the man she loved yet despised, before she was married off to the Kuroto Family.

Beginning from the smuggler's ship, Ling Feng's figure had been deeply etched in Inoue Sakura's heart. It was only when she learned she was to be wed to the Kuroto Family that she realized she had fallen for Ling Feng.

But her final plea was rejected by Ling Feng!

Ling Feng returned to the attic, his brows deeply furrowed, troubled by Inoue Sakura's attachment to him.

"What I had hoped for was not this sort of relationship," Ling Feng sighed, "But, tomorrow is the day to close the net. Come to think of it, I really should thank the Great Elder of the Inoue Family, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy to set this up!"

...

The next morning, when the maids arrived at Inoue Sakura's room, they discovered that she was already dressed neatly, her face made up, exuding infinite charm.

"Miss Sakura is really beautiful!" the maids exclaimed in awe, their voices sincere.

Inoue Sakura was even more beautiful than her mother, who was once known as the most beautiful woman in Tokyo. Naturally, Inoue Sakura's charm was not to be underestimated.

Hearing everyone's exclamations, there was no joy on Inoue Sakura's face, but rather a sorrowful expression.

When the auspicious moment arrived, the Kuroteng Family's bridal procession came, sending the entire Inoue Family into a frenzy. Joy was evident on everyone's faces. Sacrificing Inoue Sakura alone could ease the tensions with the Kuroteng Family, which was considered a very profitable deal for the Inoue Family at the moment.

Inoue Sakura, led by the people of the Kuroteng Family, walked out of her boudoir.

Along the way, Inoue Sakura saw many people; some wore looks of envy, some snickered coldly, some were indifferent, and some looked kindly... At this moment, the entire Inoue Family seemed so repulsive in the eyes of Inoue Sakura.

Before the bride got into the car, she had to say goodbye to her relatives. As the Acting Clan Leader and also Inoue Sakura's "uncle," Inoue Ki naturally took on this task.

He said to Inoue Sakura with a joyful expression, "Child, once you marry into the Kuroteng Family, you will belong to them. You mustn't be capricious and should always prioritize your husband's family, understand?"

Inoue Sakura nodded indifferently; she had no patience left for such pretensions from Inoue Ki.

Seeing Inoue Sakura's indifferent face, a flash of anger and a trace of regret passed through Inoue Ki's heart. Such a beautiful woman, even more beautiful than her despicable mother. But for the position of the clan leader, Inoue Ki had to agree to Inoue You's proposal, marrying Inoue Sakura off to the Kuroteng Family despite the pain.

"May I leave now?" said Inoue Sakura lightly, and then she looked around, a trace of loneliness in her eyes—Ling Feng was nowhere to be seen.

Although the Kuroto Family intended to keep a low profile, the marriage alliance between the Inoue and Kuroteng families could hardly remain discreet.

The grand bridal procession moved through the streets of Tokyo, attracting countless onlookers.

Many people sighed secretly, thinking that just when the Inoue Family was about to be removed from the ranks of the three great families, they had aligned themselves with the Kuroteng Family. It seemed that the status of the super clans was not easily shaken!

At that moment, several sports cars sped from another street corner and stopped in front of the bridal procession.

"Who dares to block our Kuroteng Family procession!" the person in charge of the bridal procession, Kurofujidera, shouted angrily.

With a click, the door of the sports car opened, and a delicately featured girl climbed out: "Kurofujidera, you've got some nerve to shout at me like that. Can't touch the Kuroteng Family, can we?"

"Who is this woman, and why is she so arrogant, even despising the Kuroteng Family?"

"Are you ignorant? This is the Little Princess of the Matsushita Family, known for her arrogance. It looks like she's seeking trouble again today."

"The Little Princess of the Matsushita Family? Even if she's from the Matsushita Family, isn't this behavior too presumptuous?"

"What do you know? The Little Princess of the Matsushita Family was promised to Kuroto Youichi of the Kuroteng Family a long time ago, while Inoue Sakura is to marry Kurofuji Youshun. Everyone knows that Kurofuji Youshun's status within the Kuroteng Family is far inferior to Kuroto Youichi's. Now this will be quite the spectacle!"

"This is deeply alarming. Could it be..."
