Third Master, Your Wife Has Run Off with the Money Again

Yan Qinghuan is Qingzhou’s most beautiful woman and its most famous social butterfly. In her previous life, the Yan family climbed to the top over her blood and bones, using her as a tool to curry favor with the powerful. Abused and humiliated until she lost her mind, she ran into traffic and was killed. The only warmth and dignity she ever received in her life came from a stranger. When she opened her eyes again, Yan Qinghuan had returned to the age of twenty, to the very night her tragedy began. She knocked out an old man and escaped, only to run straight into Xu Shiyan, Third Master Xu, one of Qingzhou’s most powerful men: aloof, restrained, and famously uninterested in women. He was a figure of untouchable status, and the man who had gathered her bones and buried her in her previous life. Under the cover of night, she clutched his coat hem, her voice low and pleading. “Please, Third Master, save me…” Xu Shiyan was cold and distant, never approaching women, yet she was the one exception to his rule. The aloof, restrained Xu Shiyan descended from his pedestal for her, but she turned away without a second thought and ran off with his money. Eyes bloodshot, Xu Shiyan cornered the runaway woman against a wall. The usually cold and restrained Third Master Xu coaxed her in a soft, pleading voice. “Qinghuan, how about you stop running?”
