But during the cooling-off period: the man who never came home started returning every day. And every day he dressed up like a peacock. In the kitchen, the man was learning to cook.

Everyone thought Lu Jiushu loved someone else, but she had only ever been in love with one person. The strongest player lost miserably. Lu Jiushu, the second son of the Lu family, was gentle and polite to the outside, but in reality, he was mean, cold, selfish, and dark.

That's why he was ultimately heartbroken. Upon closer reflection, after three years of marriage, he realized she wasn't without flaws—his favoritism, the pride in her eyes, her protection, and her indulgence.
