Yuluan Xue

Su Yuan's mother is set on marrying her into a powerful family, but all Su Yuan wants is to live without having to work.

Later, her mother tells her to marry a widower among widowers, a man who has had three wives die. He's the most dreaded kind of widower.

Her mother says, "A powerful widower isn't like an ordinary one. Marry him and you'll live in comfort."

Su Yuan knows that being responsible for the deaths of three wives can't just be a matter of having a tough fate. Maybe he killed them all.

All she can do is swallow her grievances and stay by his side, hoping to survive.

Han Zhao says, "You don't have to be so afraid of me. I have a light touch. I won't leave a mark."

Su Yuan says, "I'm afraid you'll hurt your hand if you hit me, General."

Day after day of insincere affection leads Han Zhao to fall desperately in love with her.

One day, Han Zhao discovers that it was all fake. He tells her to leave.

After their divorce, he gets back in line to be her dog.
