A scandal has erupted in a marquis's household, whose good name has endured for a hundred years:
The clan's eldest son, who manages the household affairs, was caught meeting in secret behind a rockery with his younger brother's wife, widowed for two years. When they were discovered, their clothes were disheveled and their faces flushed.
The matter was too serious for the Marchioness to handle alone, so she had to ask the Marquis, who usually kept out of the women's quarters, what should be done.
The Marquis, ever stern and proper, summoned the young widow that very night to question her.
The one asking questions grew slick with sweat, while the one being questioned panted softly.
Hearing her sweet, timid pleas for mercy, he bent close to her ear and sneered in a husky voice, "If you're naturally unfaithful and love to take more than you should, then you'd better learn to bear it."

Feudal patriarch x seductive sister-in-law
The male lead is a feudal patriarch. He seems stern and detached, but is intensely controlling, with the arrogance of someone born to rule. Deep down, he doesn't consider other people human.
The female lead is shallow, vain, and self-serving, with little moral sense. She is not a perfect victim, and her malice is plain to see.
Neither lead is a virgin. Male lead is dominant, female lead is submissive. Melodramatic and full of shocking twists. Please don't read if that's not for you.
