Fu Hua secretly planned to use Pei Wendu, Zhou Shao's good brother and heir to the Pei family, to take revenge on Zhou Shao. Pei Wendu appeared gentle and polite, but actually suffered from dual personality disorder; his secondary personality had a strong desire for Fu Hua. After Fu Hua successfully seduced Pei Wendu, she discovered that the person she had a relationship with was his secondary personality. Pei Wendu's main personality had been suppressing his feelings for Fu Hua until he witnessed her intimate behavior with Zhou Shao. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he, like his secondary personality, developed despicable thoughts towards Fu Hua.

    This is the most disgusting thing I've ever read. It causes the female lead to miscarry and have her finger cut off. Imprisonment. Domestic violence against the female lead for the sake of a scumbag woman. The funniest part is that the author forcibly whitewashes the male lead and gets together with the female lead. Poor second male lead. I hope everyone will give this a lot of one-star reviews and negative ratings.
