After Breaking Off the Engagement, My Ex's Uncle Fell Madly in Love with Me

(My new novel, Marrying a Powerful Minister, the Female Supporting Character Is Doted On, is now out. Please show it lots of love!) Tao Yao transmigrated and became Fourth Miss Tao, a woman of peerless beauty and allure. Her fiancé wanted to climb the social ladder, so he came to break off their engagement, claiming she wasn’t virtuous or refined enough. Right in front of the scoundrel, Tao Yao boldly tore up the marriage contract. Then she turned around and married Lu Jiuyuan, the head of the Lu family, becoming the Duchess. From then on, whenever her former fiancé saw her, he had to lower his head and call her Auntie. One day, while Lu Jiuyuan was working in his study, a servant came to report, “My lord, your wife smashed someone’s restaurant.” Lu Jiuyuan paused, then said calmly, “She’s just a young girl who doesn’t know better. Pay for the damage!” “My lord, your wife smashed the Minister’s son’s head.” “Is he dead?” The servant: “…” “Anything else?” Lu Jiuyuan asked impatiently. The servant swallowed. “Your wife… your wife ran away?” “What do you mean, ran away?” Lu Jiuyuan’s calm expression finally changed. “Your wife… your wife said you aren’t a real man and she doesn’t want to live with you anymore.” The servant stammered, risking his head with every word. Crack! The reply was the sound of a man snapping his writing brush in two. By the time the servant reacted, Lu Jiuyuan had already swept out like the wind. That night, Tao Yao learned what it felt like to cry out to heaven and earth in vain. The next morning, she came out of Lu Jiuyuan’s room holding her aching back and angrily cursed, “Which gossiping woman started that rumor?” Waaah, he was too ferocious! Tao Yao regretted it deeply! (This is a very, very sweet story. One true couple!)
