   Reader note

   The male lead uses the child to force the female lead not to divorce him. I read it twice; it's quite good. It's just niche and doesn't have a high readership. The male lead is really crazy. So crazy that readers are amazed that the female lead hasn't been driven insane. Because the male lead truly embodies the concept of forceful acquisition, first scheming to get the female lead pregnant, then methodically forcing her into marriage because of the pregnancy. After marriage, his possessiveness is very strong. He's usually quite calm, but easily becomes irritable and angry towards the man who almost became the female lead's fiancé. Among novels with a "wife-abusing" plot, this is my favorite. You can read the synopsis or the author's epilogue analysis in the last chapter for details. It's written very sincerely and is very moving.

   🍊Even her underwear wasn't washed by her, nor by machine; Wen Suhe washed it by hand. The image of a domineering CEO washing his own underwear was something she'd never dared to imagine before. Qiao Yin weakly said, "I didn't wash it myself, I saved it for you." The dignified CEO Wen only did this much housework every day: washing his wife's and his own intimate clothing. She couldn't deprive Wen Suhe of his opportunity to do chores. A cold-faced CEO washing underwear—who wanted to see that? Wen Suhe held Qiao Yin's thin underwear and tilted his head, "Are you filming me?" "You won't let me film you? I'll delete it right away." Qiao Yin obediently deleted it immediately. Wen Suhe continued to hand-wash his wife's underwear, "Film as you like." His wife filming him, keeping a memento, Wen Suhe secretly felt pleased. He even wanted to strike a pose, Qiao Yin's figure long gone from his peripheral vision. But he didn't know that while he cared about Qiao Yin, Qiao Yin wanted to put him online.

I just transmigrated here, holding that bowl of poison in my hand, when the system coldly announced: [Poison the Emperor, prepare to elope.] Poison the Emperor?! I was terrified and immediately smashed the bowl! This original owner was trying to kill me! Before I could recover, the system added: [You have three sons.] The eldest son, the Crown Prince, secretly made a dragon robe to usurp his father's throne; the second son, the idle prince, bullied others and caused trouble everywhere; the third son was even worse, burning Confucian classics and making the Grand Tutor faint! None of them were easy to deal with, none of them treated me like a mother, and they might even want to kill me. The palace maids all said I was crazy: I punched the Crown Prince, kicked the idle prince, and made the Third Prince cry. They thought I was doomed? But what happened?
