What would happen if she took actions when her step-mother and sisters started showing their greedy teeth? We’ve been tired of seeing girls like Cinderella baring all of those disgusts in current years, and we’re looking forward to a brave even aggressive heroine to show her feast to devils and save her life on her own. If you share the same feeling like this, then Punished by His Love might be your taste!

What is Punished by His Love about?

Sabrina Scott was a destitute woman whose life was dependent on others. She became an orphan since 12. It was her blood mother that sent her to the Lynn family because this woman was terribly ill at that time. Sabrina was not the unique step-daughter in the Lynns, she had a younger sister who came two years later than her. Those two girls had similar background but shared extremely opposite lives in one house. Sabrina was not treasured by her step-parents, and she spent a slavery teenage life in the house like Cinderella. On the contrary, her younger sister Selene was raised as a real princess and took up the couples’ entire indulgence and mercy. Why the Lynn couple treated two step-daughters too differently that much? Where did the partiality root in? This is the first mystery in the Punished by His Love.

The second mystery is the prince (not literally). Sebastian Ford was an illegitimate child of the Fords, the most powerful force in the city. His mother was a mistress of his father. For this very reason, Sebastian survived unbelievably hard in a huge and risky family. Stayed with monsters day and night, Sebastian learned to live as a bloodiest one among them and seize a chance to take the leadership of the whole family. He didn’t wait for so long. At the dawn of the success, Sebastian was deadly injured and he needed a woman stay a night beside him for survival. So his assistant asked the followers to find one in emergency. The Lynn family was one of the followers and they had two daughters which was just meeting the requirement. They sent a girl to Sebastian’s bed, and Sebastian survived eventually. After the critical moment, Sebastian restarted and defeated all opponents and rats so as to hand over the ownership of the Ford family. He turned a true prince, then the problem next was the girl, who was she? Who sent her to him? Seemed the prince would start to openly search for the girl who could wear the crystal shoes. Sebastian didn’t so this because he knew who the girl was, precisely, he thought he knew.

You might have guessed the girl, more over, someone might be aware that there must be a big misunderstanding pointing to the girl. Absolutely, the girl was either Sabrina Scott or Selene Lynn. Combining with the rule of fair tale, it must be poor and tormented Sabrina who “wore the crystal shoes”. But the truth is … How did Sebastian figure it out? You’ll see in the beginning of Punished by His Love.

The third mystery is about two pregnant women. Sebastian knew that the girl beside him that night had his baby after that. For the pleasure of being a father and the duty of raising a good family, Sebastian promised to marry the girl and raise their child as his successor. This was a great temptation for every woman, either for the followers. When pregnant Sabrina and pregnant Selene both stood in front of him, Sebastian chose to believe Selene and thought evil of Sabrina. Why was he so blind? Were there anything happened neither Sabrina nor us knew about behind the scene? It will be a massive work to make all things clear, but it will also be a charming experience to sink into the story and find out the truth!
