[Planned Opening]
Not long after Bai Zhuzhu got married, she was sent back to her family home for injuring her husband. She threw herself into her stepbrother's arms and burst into tears. “I only gave him a light slap, and he couldn't take it. I'm divorcing him!”
As Bai Chen had someone draft the divorce papers, he comforted Bai Zhuzhu. “Don't cry, Zhuzhu. I'll find you ten men. You can hit them every day if you want.”
Curled up against her stepbrother's broad, muscular chest, Bai Zhuzhu thought pitifully that her stepbrother was the only good man in the world.
Unfortunately, none of the ten men Bai Chen found could satisfy Bai Zhuzhu. One moment she thought this one was too ugly, the next she complained that another one had a chest that was too small.
Bai Chen listened to all her grumbling and committed every word to memory, then turned around and had people find her even better men.
After all this back and forth, even Bai Chen's fiancée couldn't stand it anymore. She said Bai Zhuzhu was spoiled and unreasonable and needed to be disciplined.
That night, Bai Zhuzhu lay across Bai Chen, eyes brimming with tears. “Brother, she insulted me. I'm going to sleep with you and make her furious.”
Was she serious? The entire Bai family belonged to Bai Zhuzhu. Whether Bai Chen was her ox, her horse, or her donkey was entirely up to her!

Bai Chen was the Bai family's stepson, a born talent in business. In just a few short years, he made the Bai family the wealthiest in Yangzhou.
Even after Bai Zhuzhu's parents passed away, he continued to dote on their only daughter. He would put on her shoes and wash her face, doing whatever she asked without question.
Some people laughed that the Bai family had raised him like a dog. But only Bai Chen knew what he wanted: to raise Bai Zhuzhu high above everyone, then let her fall, so he could take over everything the Bai family owned without a hitch.
As Bai Zhuzhu grew more and more spoiled, more and more people came to resent her. Bai Chen only smiled in silence, watching it all with cold eyes.
Even when Bai Zhuzhu complained that she wasn't satisfied with the men, Bai Chen mocked her inwardly while picking out all kinds of men for her, telling her that if she wanted something, she had to get it by any means necessary.
It wasn't until Bai Zhuzhu's innocent, naive gaze, brimming with possessiveness, fell on him that Bai Chen realized the Bai Zhuzhu he'd raised might have turned out a little too wicked.
