The Story of the Maid Baolu

[Angsty Romance] [Betrayal] [Defiance] [Comeback] [Feel-Good Fiction]

The male lead is a scumbag.

They say men fear choosing the wrong career, while women fear marrying the wrong man. The male lead chose the wrong boss, so he used his marriage as leverage against his wife's family, driving his father-in-law's household to ruin. While still married, he also got involved with his maid. When he learned that she was actually the daughter of the Minister of Ceremonies, he used his pregnant wife's condition as an excuse to divorce her and marry the maid. He then tried to use his new wife to bring down the Minister of Ceremonies and his family. But the maid was no pushover. With one swift counterattack, she sent the scumbag to prison.
