Punishing the Second Male Lead in Front of My Husband

|Married First, Love Later; Do First, Talk Later|

Xue Fu, the daughter of a merchant, was bold and willful. She had a lover who seduced her into losing her virginity before marriage.

But when it came time to discuss marriage, her lover ran off without a trace.

She never expected to marry into the He household, becoming the new bride of He Zhoulu, the man who ran the household, despite the rumors and accusations.

As the eldest young master of the He family and a trusted minister at the emperor's side, He Zhoulu was renowned for his refined manners and gentle elegance. He was adored by the young ladies of the capital.

At home, he was even more than Xue Fu could handle.

On their wedding night, he called her shameless. When she served tea, his parents ignored her. When she performed the formal bows, the other branches of the He family made things difficult for her. As for entering the ancestral hall... that was out of the question.

Day after day, Xue Fu thought this was simply how her life would be. Then one day, her runaway lover returned.

Xue Fu thought it over. In the end, she couldn't swallow her anger, and despite her fear, sneaked out of the estate to meet her old lover.

Before anything could happen between them, He Zhoulu caught her in the act.

Xue Fu was terrified, certain she was going to die, and spent the whole way home in misery.

Back at the residence, He Zhoulu showed no tenderness as he roughly tossed her onto the bed. The candle burned all night.

At her most heartbroken, Xue Fu couldn't hold back and cursed him: "You're shameless, you bastard."

"The price of forgiveness is far too high. I don't want it anymore."

The man only left her with a cold, "Shut up," before continuing to punish her for her disobedience.

Bonus Scene:

After Xue Fu had sneaked out of the estate for who knew how many times...

The man:

"Forget it. Why bother arguing with her..."

"As long as she behaves and stops sneaking out to see that lover, I can forgive her."

Xue Fu: ...

"Your concubine still has a score to settle with the second male lead, so she has no choice but to see him."

The male lead: "Xue Fu!" (roars.)

Notes:

Married first, love later.

The female lead is not a virgin.

The female lead is not a good person. If you don't like that, please don't flame the story.

The male lead is no good either.

Don't overanalyze it. It's just for fun.

The dynasties, official titles, and so on are a mix.

Don't overanalyze it.

The female lead has intimate scenes with the second male lead. Don't read if that's not for you.

Of course, if you don't mind that, I'll beg you on my hands and knees to add this to your collection.

Thank you 🥹.
