Lord Lu, Your Wife Is Picking on the Scum Again!

Core tropes: Urban romance, marriage before love, a gorgeous and formidable dancer versus a domineering CEO who dotes obsessively on his wife, sweet romance with satisfying comeuppance, and the twist that the supposed stand-in is his true love.

Shen Zhaoning, a uniquely gifted dancer from a remote border town, shot to fame with a performance of A Dream of Dunhuang. But Shanghai society whispered that she was merely a shadow of Seventh Master Lu’s “moonlight in his heart.” Everyone expected the real deal to crush her and Seventh Master Lu to cast her aside. Instead, Lu Chengzhou used ruthless measures to expel the so-called “moonlight” and her entire family from Shanghai.

He personally fastened emerald earrings on her and even handed her the key to his study. Spoiled by his affection, she broke teacups and kicked in doors, only to be held tightly in his arms at night as he murmured hoarsely, “Be good. It’s all my fault.”

At a party, someone tactlessly probed their relationship. Shen Zhaoning curved her red lips and looked toward the distant, poised and stern man. “He’s my husband.”

The news sent Shanghai into an uproar! The woman they had privately mocked as “a dancing girl who climbed the social ladder by relying on a man” was actually Seventh Master Lu’s lawfully wedded wife? That night, at a private club, Lu Chengzhou took her hand in front of everyone and declared in a low, commanding voice, “If anyone dares say one bad word about her again... I won’t mind finding a new circle to play in.”
