I’d Just Gotten the Divorce Papers When the Rugged Man Started Tempting Me on the Road to Exile

Everyone said Lu Zhaoning was unlucky. She had barely divorced that self-righteous scholar when her former husband’s entire family was sentenced to exile.

But no one expected her to escape unscathed and set off in style with a fortune in hand.

To stay alive, she set her sights on Jiang Liao, the fearsome, rugged man from the neighboring village.

He was a peerless fighter, wild and untamable, and the strongest support she could hope for on the road to exile.

By day, he was her personal bodyguard, helping her take down unreasonable relatives and violently clear the way.

But at night, beside a lonely haystack, he gripped her waist. His rough fingertips brushed her lips as he held back his frenzied passion. “Chen Wenqi couldn’t protect you, but I can. So, how are you planning to pay me for this protection?”

Lu Zhaoning had only meant to farm her way to fortune. She never expected this rugged man’s advances to be lethal.
