Kyle couldn’t possibly forgive her for smiling so innocently and saying she’ll be a good wife, along with having a cruel father…

Even more so to himself, who covets her like that in heat.

“To be a good wife, you have to do what you have to do. As well as having my child.”

But, the wife, who had always spread her legs docilely, dared to go against him.

“What I want is not children. It’s a divorce.”

No, Rosalyn…

At his older brother’s funeral, Xie Hou encountered the male “widow.”

On a silent, rainy night, Shen Cizhu was surrounded by a group of dignitaries and led into the cemetery. He stopped in front of Xie Hou, lifting his umbrella, revealing the green eyes deeply etched in Xie Hou’s memory.

It seemed like he had been crying, and his striking beauty had become fragile as a result.

“Condolences,” Xie Hou said in a soft voice.

“Thank you,” Shen Cizhu replied hoarsely.

At the funeral, they pretended not to know each other, as if the night of their reckless passion had never happened.

After the crowd dispersed, the cemetery was cold.

Xie Hou looked down at Shen Cizhu, who was still kneeling in front of the tombstone. He leaned over, holding Shen Cizhu’s chin to make him look up. “Ge ge is gone. What will you do now?”

Shen Cizhu suddenly looked up.

“In that case,” Xie Hou, with an appearance of purity and coldness, murmured like an adulterer, “please let me replace Ge ge and inherit you.”

Shen Cizhu was adored by everyone.

In the eyes of others, Shen Cizhu was a noble son from a top-tier family, appearing compassionate and gentle, like the most sacred apple in the Garden of Eden.

But it was all a façade, and only Xie Hou knew his true nature.

The real Shen Cizhu had a destructive personality. He was gorgeous, arrogant, and greedy, harboring a permanent desire for control and possession over others. He was the most cunning and venomous snake in the Garden of Eden.

A venomous snake would never see itself as cruel; it would only follow its predatory instincts to ensnare its prey with a seductive whisper, and in an instant, its fangs would pierce the prey’s throat.

This predatory game was dangerous and rewarding for Xie Hou.

“My dear, it was clearly me who dragged you into hell, so why do you see me as your savior?”

Hormones can trigger the human instinct to seek a partner, but will your genes accept your partner?

Xie Hou had been conducting this research all along.

However, when everything seemed settled, it all collapsed with the arrival of Shen Cizhu.

He defied the warnings of his genes and fell in love with Shen Cizhu.

But at that time, Shen Cizhu was still his brother’s lover.

[I will devour all of him with blood and gore, but before that, I beg him to respond to my affection.]

My birthday present, my grandfather’s souvenir when he went abroad, the fountain pen I got when I passed the first place at school… all of them were stolen by my sister. My parents only love my little sister and scold me, saying things like “Be patient with her because you’re her sister!”

“It’s almost your sister’s 16th birthday. Since it’s a celebration of coming of age, everyone should give you something more expensive than before, right? I wanted a new hair ornament, brooch, earrings and necklace.!”

From a month before my birthday, this makes me think about the day.

“Bianca is the older sister, so naturally you will give the present to your younger sister, Mia, right? Since you’re an older sister, you’ll listen to your cute younger sister Mia’s request, right?”

My parents acquiesced to my sister stealing my belongings, or rather, they were affirmative.

What’s more, there’s no better gift than this to make your sister and parents go crazy!

We keep reviewing and seeking out the motives of criminals, exploring the subtlest emotions driving them. It’s not to put ourselves in their shoes and sympathize, or even forgive them; it’s not to find some reasons to exculpate their crimes; it’s not to kneel down before the so-called “complexity of human nature”; nor to introspect social conflicts, much less to alienate ourselves into monsters.
