After the scumbag broke off the engagement in public, I turned around and married his brother-in-law, a powerful man who was said to wear Buddhist beads and was not a womanizer.
After we got married, my scumbag ex called me "little aunt" out of spite, and my relatives who used to bully me nodded and bowed to me.
Everyone thought I was Fu Jingchen's caged bird. Only I knew how that cold and ascetic man taught me how to read people's hearts and wield power in the middle of the night, step by step, turning me from a soft little white flower into a business queen who could stand alongside him.
"Be good and call me uncle." He once said.
Later, he pulled off the prayer beads and said in a hoarse voice: "Call me husband, and I will give you my life."
