She, a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger, was now cooking and cleaning for him—even a dog would be moved, right? Fine, I'm not serving him anymore. Their first meeting after the divorce. The man grabbed Mingzhu's wrist: "Let's talk." Mingzhu said, "Mr. Mo, we're divorced. Please don't lay a finger on a respectable woman." Mo Shangqian said, "You've changed."

Hearing that Mingzhu was getting engaged, the man brought their son to her door that very night to threaten her. "If you want to see your son, break off the engagement." "You're shameless!" "The more shameless you are, the more you gain."

The male lead first tortures the female lead to death, and then after she's reborn, he tortures himself [fear].
