Jiang Wu was a slave owned by Su Mo.
She was meek and timid, never knew how to express herself, and was as quiet as a gourd. She was the lowliest maid in the entire Pingyang Marquis Estate.
As Su Mo put it, she was born to a wretched fate.
And yet, when Su Mo went to Jiangnan, he specifically asked for Jiang Wu to accompany him.
The gesture made everyone in the Su household turn red-eyed with envy. They thought that the young master must feel differently about the "slave" he claimed to hate most.
As everyone wondered whether they should stop making things difficult for Jiang Wu and start currying favor with her, the young master and the others returned in less than two months.
Su Mo threw Jiang Wu from the carriage as if she had only a wisp of life left. Her back was a bloody mess.
She lay prostrate at Su Mo's feet, her lower lip bitten through and her fingernails digging deep into the earth, yet she never uttered a word.
The merciless whip sliced through the air and came down. A gust of wind lifted the hem of Su Mo's robe as he ground his teeth. "Why is it so hard to make you beg me just once?"
Later, when a great fire broke out in the Su family's rear courtyard, its glow turned half the sky red. People screamed and fled in every direction, the din deafening.
Only Jiang Wu stood there quietly, her face expressionless. But in the palm hidden inside her sleeve, she had left one mark after another by digging her nails into it.
Su Mo wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, his expression half-smiling, half-mocking. He invited her to enjoy the spectacle with him and whispered seductively in her ear, "Do you like it? You can keep setting fires."

After chasing it all afternoon, I also cried all afternoon. The temperament of the two people was tangled up and down. It was as described in the text. Although, I just think the ending is a tragedy. The temperament of the male protagonist is still as selfish and sinister as ever. He has never respected the female protagonist, and he has never looked at him standing in front of her. The heroine thinks about it, she is cold-mouthed and slams the door when something happens, she feels distressed but can hurt her cruelly at the same time. Both of them are too stubborn and proud, and the heroine's calm and dejected look is too clear. It is not easy for both of them to live, but one suffers in silence, and the other hurts others, and hurting others and hurting yourself is nothing more than each other.
Be is great, I just don't like this red rope. I hope my mistress can live a better life in the next life.
The heroine doesn't want to meet the hero again in the next life, and the hero still wants to be entangled with her in the next life. It's really...
What I said yesterday was hasty. This male protagonist is venomous and selfish and cannot be changed. He should live alone for the rest of his life and stop teasing others. The heroine should live a comfortable life away from him and her children as long as she can live. I feel so sorry for these two poor little guys.
Jiang Wu is too bitter, isn't it?
Okay, okay, while scolding the scumbag to get out, while crying that the female goose is dead, in the end, let's beat the author to death.
The copywriter thought that it would be a crematorium for chasing a wife, and at least torture the male protagonist to death. After reading the ending, I was naive, the female protagonist was too miserable, and it is better not to enter when the female protagonist controls and abuses the male protagonist.
Male protagonist, please change your behavior quickly, ugh
I looked at be and thought of he. Now I look at he, forget it, let's just be.
I don't want it to be sweet! Break up with me!!! Never get back together! Isn't it good for the heroine to be beautiful alone??? Why live with a dog?
