After the Scheming Villainess Dumped Him, the Cold-Faced Power Broker Saw Red

[Self-Serving Villainess + Male Rivals Competing for Her + All the Men Are Chaste + He Bows His Head for Love]

For the sake of a life of luxury in the capital, Lin Yao abandons the live-in husband who had been her only support.

She assumes they'll go their separate ways, but just as she climbs to a higher branch, her former husband appears.

The man has transformed into the renowned Prince of Zhennan.

At a palace banquet, he corners Lin Yao and asks hoarsely, "What is your relationship with that Wen family boy?"

"We're just... ordinary friends." Lin Yao explains with an utterly straight face. "While you were away, I couldn't sleep night after night. Being with Wen Yanci was just a way to remember you."

Fu Zheng grits his teeth, seeing that she has no remorse. "Then what about the head of the Four Generations Chamber of Commerce?"

"He's just a substitute. There's no comparison between him and the real thing, you." Lin Yao pats his shoulder and speaks earnestly.

"And what do you have to say about the graceful, brilliant literary prodigy and the refined, noble censor?" Fu Zheng is about to go mad. While he was away, Lin Yao had attracted a whole host of admirers.

He means to teach this restless woman a lesson, but discovers that those men keep throwing themselves at her one after another.

Fu Zheng draws his sword and cuts down every one of Lin Yao's admirers, declaring possessively, "She's already taken. You're too late!"
