Liu Xunyan was a notorious good-for-nothing playboy who had neither married nor established a career. His parents had finally had enough, so they brought the young woman he'd once saved into their household as his bride.
Before the wedding, the playboy climbed into Tao Zhi's bedroom. "You can't repay my kindness by hurting both of us."
Tao Zhi bit her lip and looked up. A tear trembled from her lashes, and her voice was soft and gentle. "A Zhi understands. Don't worry, my benefactor."
"Wait! I've seen the error of my ways. My parents have arranged this marriage, so I can't refuse." Liu Xunyan stared at the bewitchingly beautiful woman before him, resolved to mend his ways. "Could you put the knife down first?"
Tao Zhi's grandmother was gravely ill, and famous doctors and medicines cost a fortune. When the wealthy Liu family asked her to become their daughter-in-law, she readily agreed and staged a scene where she fell into the water.
It didn't matter whom she married, especially since the Liu playboy was rich and handsome.
After the wedding, Liu Xunyan stayed out all night. Tao Zhi seized her chance and threw herself into his arms, weeping so pitifully that anyone would feel for her. "If my husband dislikes me, I'll leave. Why stay out all night instead of coming home?"
Her tears softened his iron heart into cotton. "Who said I dislike you? I... I'll change, all right? Just stop crying!"
Before Liu Xunyan could get rid of the wife he'd brought home, he realized he was gradually losing control of himself.
One night, as he greedily studied the person beside him on the pillow, she suddenly opened her eyes and met his burning gaze, unknowingly alluring.
He looked away from her jade-white shoulder. "There was a bug crawling over you."
Suppressing her embarrassment, Tao Zhi hid in the arms of the man whose thoughts were running wild, her clothes in disarray. "Waaah, where's the bug? I'm scared."
She thought to herself: That'll cost extra.
Liu Xunyan: It's over. She's fallen in love with me!
Beauty: I'm sweet and gentle. Just kidding.
Playboy: She's so wicked. I like it.
