Early October

He is the most powerful man in the Imperial City, the master of the empire's rise and fall. Displease him, and your fate can be summarized in two words - Destruction!
But this arrogant woman does not regard him in the slightest!
Two years after marriage, she was all about clinging to him, and he was all about divorcing her; she tried innumerable times yet failed, but he successfully divorced.
Who would have guessed that on the first night following their divorce, she carefully strategizes and finally succeeds?
Ming Mei: "What crime have I committed?"
Kang Chen sat high on the judgment seat, "Theft!"
Ming Mei: "What have I stolen from you?"
"Heir!"

Secretly Adorable In Your Heart

This sensation of almost having absolute control but not being able to fully dominate was supremely comforting to Kang Chen.


It made Kang Chen even more displeased with Ming Mei.


He snapped sarcastically, "Since you're better now, stop causing trouble. I don't want to witness this again."


Supporting her body to lift herself up a bit, Ming Mei brushed the hair strands off her face, giving a weak smile, "Rest assured, there won't be a next time. But you... I made it through. Aren't you disappointed?"


Ming Mei couldn't help but prick Kang Chen with her words. Thinking of how he was just reveling in pleasures moments ago irritated her.


Ming Mei watched as Kang Chen laughed - and it seemed like he really meant it, but it made her feel shaky inside.


She knew she wasn't the type of woman with a stunningly beautiful body. Her appeal lied in her delicate features and her elegant, fresh aura which floated above the mundane world like a fairy untouched by mortal sins.
