Chi Yu once thought she was the happiest woman in the world. She had a husband who loved her, in-laws who doted on her, and more money than she could spend in three lifetimes. Her life felt like she was soaking in a jar of honey, until one day...
A terrifying "madman" appeared from nowhere. With ease, he crushed everything she held dear, driving her to despair again and again and leaving her in unbearable pain.
He clamped his arms around her from behind, cold and menacing, his breath repeatedly brushing her ear.
"Guess who survived this contest?"
The man laughed, his voice like a poisoned blade. "Too bad your spineless husband died. You lost. The price is that you're coming back with me."
Chi Yu didn't even have time to cry out before the world before her shattered, her consciousness sinking into the depths of the sea...

Later, she remembered.
She had never been a gentle, demure woman. On the contrary, she was a cruel, vengeful woman whom everyone avoided.
In a daze, she realized that perhaps she had been the one to destroy him first. What he had done was no more than settling the score.
At night, she straddled Gu Junyue's lap with a seductive smile. Watching his face twist in pain, she laughed without restraint, her waist swaying and her shoulders trembling. At last, she leaned close to his ear and whispered,
"Is that all you've got? Gu Junyue, I told you before: if I could dump you once, I can dump you a second time."
