A gentleman plans for the nation, while a petty man plans for himself.
If a woman can make her own fortune, what use does she have for a man?
The King of Beiming schemes for both country and self, all for the sake of revenge. He uses political machinations to set traps for his wife for decades, and it never fails.
She gives away her entire fortune for him, then risks her life to return, only to be tricked by him again. Only then does she realize that a hypocrite is worse than an honest scoundrel.
“A husband plays the hypocrite, and his wife plays the scoundrel. Truly, they’re made for each other.”
“Women and petty men are hard to deal with!”
“Your Highness, it’s time to pay me back!”
“I’m willing to repay the debt with my own body.”
“You belong to another woman. What does that have to do with me?”
The King of Beiming uses political schemes to win back his wife, but the more he pursues her, the more outrageous things get, until he heads straight for the mass grave...
