[Historical romance + taking what you want by force + face-slapping + the husband’s long road to redemption]
The eldest master of the Yan family, Yan Huaichuan, was handsome and strong, and known for his amorous nature. He already had a house full of concubines, but one day he set his sights on Jinniang, a married woman. Unfortunately for him, she refused to give in, leaving him deeply frustrated.
Jinniang was a little unlucky soul who had transmigrated from the modern world. Her sister-in-law was cruel, and her good-for-nothing husband loved drinking and gambling. She lived in misery every day, hoping to save enough money to leave and live a quiet life of her own. She never expected the lecherous eldest master of the Yan family to take an interest in her.
She pretended to go along with him, hoping that one day she could escape and make a clean getaway.
He showered her with affection, wanting only to make sure his beautiful bedchamber woman couldn’t leave him. If he ever got tired of her, he planned to discard her without a second thought.
Who could have guessed that one day she really would run away? He was so furious he went mad, swearing he’d turn the place upside down to find her and make her pay!
But when he finally found her, he couldn’t bring himself to lay a hand on her. All he could do was wait on her hand and foot, terrified she’d run away again.
For her sake, the amorous Yan master dismissed his entire harem of concubines and refused to take a proper wife.
He never would have imagined that a mere bedchamber woman would bring him to his knees.
Content warning: The male lead has had previous partners, while the female lead has not. Please don’t read if that bothers you.
