Under Table Blow

As a king standing at the top of the pyramid, he has long been accustomed to feeling superior. He is aloof and abstinent from women. Under various pressures from his family, he chose her. However, she reacted so slowly that it took her a long time to realize his feelings. Yet, on the day of the engagement, he appeared, holding another woman's hand. She froze in shock, unable to speak a word. "You know what? This is what you owe me!" he said nastily. Later, fate dealt her a cruel blow: the company collapsed, her father fell critically ill, and she was faced with a mountain of high-interest loans. Desperate, he pushed her to the brink and said, "I can help you out of this mess, but you have to be my mistress." Their relationship thus became a dance of love and hate. When he discovered she had a six-year-old son, he sneered, "What a shameless woman!" She was pursued by others, and he was very angry, "Stop flirting with other men!" Later, as her memories returned, her love and admiration for him turned into anger and hatred. He also deeply regretted and blamed himself after learning the truth, wanting to make up for it. "Let's get married." He said. "How dare you?" She replied with a sneer. She thought her revenge plan was flawless, but he was in fact very smart and had already spotted the flaws. He willingly stepped into her trap, betting that she still loved him...
