My Scumbag Husband Wants Me to Be His Lapdog? I'll Train the Powerful Official into One Instead

[Second Male Lead Takes the Lead] [Possessive Love] [The Powerful Man Bows His Head]

After her father and brothers died in battle, Xie Shu returned to the capital with a limp and married Pei Huaian, her childhood sweetheart, just as she had always wanted.

But more than ten years of affection meant less to him than a single tear from his stepmother.

To please his stepmother, the man she had loved for all those years trained her like a dog.

He set a hundred rules for her to show respect to his stepmother. For five years of marriage, he refused to consummate their marriage, forbade her from calling him husband or touching him, and treated her as a wife he had to keep hidden, a shameful secret.

One day, Xie Shu no longer wanted to be a dog.

So, in order to divorce and survive, she had to prove wrong the so-called husband who claimed that a cripple like her couldn’t take a single step without him.

Xie Shu staked everything and turned to her stepmother’s foster brother.

That powerful Grand Secretary, who held the court in the palm of his hand, entered her bedchamber.

She wept beneath him.

“Uncle, I have nowhere else to go...”

The stern, sinister man knelt before her skirt, his peach-blossom eyes burning as he looked at her.

“Then I will be your way forward.”

Pei Huaian never believed his wife, who had loved him with all her heart, would divorce him and marry someone else.

He had written ninety-nine divorce agreements, and Xie Shu had never been able to leave him.

Until...

He saw with his own eyes his wife stand beneath the peach tree, rising onto her injured foot to brush the fallen blossoms from the shoulder of that fearsome uncle.

Her eyes held only him.

In that moment, Pei Huaian was driven mad with jealousy. He grabbed her by the wrist.

“Shushu, I was wrong.”

“Turn around and look at me.”

Xie Shu coldly corrected him. “You should call me Aunt by Marriage.”
