Painterly

[Top-tier mutual teasing + extreme tug-of-war + trash-talking + 1v1]
Wen Zhi had lived in the shadow of being bullied by her entire family since she was young until she was discarded by the He Family as a pawn.
After returning to the country, the first thing she did was to give the He Family a big present.
At the banquet, as soon as Wen Zhi was done with her mischief, she wanted to flee.
Just as she reached the corner, a man stopped her.
“Little Zhi, haven't seen you for five years, where are you running to?”
Looking at the big demon lord who'd tormented her since her childhood, with such a righteous human-dog appearance, Wen Zhi swallowed her saliva.
In her ears, she could almost hear He Hanjin saying that same line to her countless times:
“Little Zhi, you need to be good. If you dare to run, I'll break your legs.”
So in the past, she was constantly playing the good girl, and Hanjin seemed very satisfied with her obedience.
But now that she had finally broken free from his control, she didn't know how he'd torment her if he caught her again.
How could she not run?!

Let Her Flirt

Wen Zhi had not slackened her investigation in the time she worked as a teacher, at least her identity was quite effective in this village. Plus, since she hadn't caused any trouble for such a long time, the villagers had come to trust her a great deal.


Initially, there had been no progress, which left her feeling increasingly despondent, much like a headless fly not knowing where to start looking.


There was a moment when she considered giving up, but then she thought of the children and women who had been trafficked, and that if she did nothing, more people would be trafficked here or to other rural villages.


They were meant to have different lives, yet here they were, doomed to spend the rest of their lives in such a remote and impoverished village—a truly sorrowful fate.


Wen Zhi took several deep breaths to compose herself, and after psyching herself up for a while, she continued her investigation in secret.
