Synopsis

Why does the latecomer come out on top?

Because the Prince Regent has no shame and fights tooth and nail to win!

Wen Ruyi, the legitimate daughter of the richest family in Jiangnan, was tricked into a sham marriage. Not only did her husband steal her dowry, he also wanted to swallow up the Wen family, squeezing every last drop out of them. Meanwhile, every day he flirted with his cousin, who served him tea and kept him company!

Wen Ruyi had never suffered such a great indignity in her life. After enduring it for three months, she finally found her chance and collapsed, all delicate and tender, into the arms of the Prince Regent, a silver-haired young man who was ruthless, vicious, and tremendously powerful.

She secretly slid her pale, soft fingers across his burning palm.

“My lord, my heart is so unsettled...” She lifted her little face, looking ready to cry. “Feel my heart...”

Zhou He disliked nothing more than affected, weepy women. Then one day, the new bride of the Marquis's household, affected to the extreme, came weeping into his arms.

Zhou He thought she couldn't possibly have done it on purpose.

Surely the Qi family had bullied her.

Zhou He decided to casually help the poor woman escape her living hell. But in the blink of an eye, he saw her delicately wiping away tears in front of the newly appointed top scholar.

“Brother Lu, Ruyi's heart really is so unsettled...”

Later, Zhou He locked Wen Ruyi in a room and rested his head against her chest. “Let this prince listen and see if your heart is still unsettled...”

The CP is a black lotus who casts her net wide to see who she can catch: the scheming, beautiful young wife of the Marquis's household x a Prince Regent who falls for her at first sight and quickly goes all in, fighting tooth and nail to climb to the top. The mad Prince Regent turns out to be the one stealing another man's wife.

Read at your own risk:

1. No rooting for different male leads. The heroine is irresistible, coy, and a black lotus; everyone loves her. The male lead fights his rivals and wins her over. Before she divorces her husband, the heroine has no romantic or sexual relationship with the male lead or the other male characters.

2. The main characters are no saints, and their values are flexible.

3. The scumbag husband chases his wife, but never wins her back.

4. The male lead fights, competes, schemes, and goes mad, and ultimately claims the top spot.

5. The heroine is sexually experienced; the hero is not.

Theme: Strive relentlessly to become stronger
