[From vicious dog to loyal hound, a betrayed husband finds a new lover]
The Lu family has two wastrels: one in his thirties, with his future in ruins and nothing to do but wait around for death, and another in his twenties who entered an arranged marriage, then abandoned his fiancée and ran away with someone else.
The poor husband was left behind to suffer at the Lu family’s hands.
Lu Taichu had planned to sit back and enjoy the show, waiting to see when the man would run home or get himself into some kind of trouble. He loved a scandal involving the second branch of the family.
But he never expected to find him hiding in the kitchen late at night, crying in secret.
On a whim, Lu Taichu took pity on him and left him a handkerchief.
He never expected the man to grow more and more devoted to him as Lu Taichu treated him better.
He brought him an umbrella when it rained,
left a light on for him when he worked late,
and cooked him noodles on his birthday.
No one had celebrated Lu Taichu’s birthday in years.
He repays kindness with betrayal, seducing his own younger cousin’s husband and watching him fall into his arms, one step at a time.
Torn between morality and desire,
he alone gets to see this sweet, obedient man shed tears of pain.
Ah, I really want to marry him.
Wait, hasn’t he divorced my cousin yet?
