The Wicked Woman Becomes the Matriarch: Bewitching, Alluring, and Utterly Mad

[She pursues him] [Marriage Before Love] [A wicked woman becomes mistress of the household] [No golden finger, domestic power struggles] Shen Rouzhu was a born temptress, greedy, lustful, and heartless. Ever since she crossed paths with “Tyrant Qin,” honeyed words came effortlessly to her. She was wicked to the core. Time and again, she sweet-talked him into believing she loved him, then did all manner of bad things and used him to amass a fortune. Just as she was about to leave with enough wealth and status to last a lifetime, ready to divorce him and slip away, she discovered that Second Master Qin, a man of towering influence, had long since laid a vast net to draw her in. Qin Si pinched her soft, fragrant cheek, his voice languid and dangerous: “Sweet Zhu Zhu, weren’t you the one who wanted me to beg for your love? Why are you running away now?” Shen Rouzhu could not break free. Even her warbler-like voice trembled: “Have you gone mad, Second Master? Today I love one person, tomorrow another! It was all just an act. What real feelings could there be?” “Why don’t you let go, then? We can go our separate ways and never see each other again...” The heroine has a quietly unhinged streak. As the days go by, you never know what she might go and do. A game of pursuit and escape, with possessive, forceful love.
