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

Ming Mei's heart tightened as she turned a cold gaze towards the maid.


The maid, evidently driven almost mad with torment, looked at Ming Mei with wild, hate-filled eyes, shouting, "It was her, it was indeed her... You said that if I spilled it out you would spare me..."


"I've told you, I've said it... Why are you treating me like this..."


Number 2's gaunt, pallid fingers brushed over his scarlet lips, saying, "I promised you, I would spare your life."


Indeed, he did promise to spare her life, but he didn't say he wouldn't do anything else.


Anger flooded Ming Mei's heart — this idiot, she actually betrayed her.

But what gave Ming Mei the slightest sense of relief was that this idiot hadn't exposed her link with the Kang family yet.
