【I’m amazed! Can I really watch this?】

【Yan Jie got roasted in the barrage, hahaha. Someone mentioned a dog leash in the previous episode, and in this episode, Yan Jie directly arranged it! To say or not, the moment Bing Shang threw the dog leash, I was really thrilled!】

【Doesn’t anyone feel satisfied when the bodyguard kicked away Gu’s father just now?】

【Now the roles are reversed, and Gu is being brutally abused! But I wonder, will Gu end up dying? Is it just a matter of putting on a dog leash and that’s it?】

【For the guy earlier, just letting Gu die, isn’t that too easy and merciful? Shouldn’t we slowly torment him, giving back to him what he did to those substitute girls back then? Torture him until he’s no longer human nor dog. Then we can think about whether to let him die. That’s the real satisfaction.】

【Family, we can always trust Yan Jie!】

For a while, the barrage was filled with “forever trust Yan Jie,” showing a strong trust in Yan Yue’s exciting storyline.

Naturally, Yan Yue didn’t disappoint after a week of waiting. The dog leash was just the beginning. In the upcoming plot, Yan Yue vividly demonstrated that for those writers who used to pretend to pursue the wife and then abused the female protagonist, “abusing the male lead” is a verb, not a noun!

In most previous dramas or novels, the male lead was promised to be abused severely, but the story ended up abusing the female lead nine times out of ten. Only at the end, they would give the male lead a symbolic bit of suffering, and the female lead would forgive the male lead and walk off into the sunset together. Does anyone truly find this satisfying? At least Yan Yue didn’t. In the worlds she had experienced before, she had also completed tasks in similar settings. Yan Yue always cut through the mess quickly and left those absurd and ridiculous worlds behind.

Now it was her turn to create such a storyline, and Yan Yue was determined to make it as satisfying as possible!

[Gu Chen looked disdainfully at the dog leash on the ground. He even thought that Bing Shang wanted to play a little game with him, and while he could play along, he wouldn’t immediately comply like a dog. He was still holding onto his pride, thinking that Bing Shang couldn’t possibly forget him. Even though Bing Shang’s attitude now clearly showed that she was here to take revenge on the Gu family, he subconsciously avoided this reality.

What kind of person is Gu Chen?

Perverted, mad, egoistic, he didn’t view anyone as equal. In his heart, no one could surpass the position he held for himself, even if he had fallen in love with Yu Ling… oh no, even if he had truly fallen for Bing Shang, he wouldn’t wag his tail like a dog for her. Instead, he would think—

“I have condescended to love you, woman. Are you satisfied now? Hurry up and put aside your pride to beg for reconciliation with me. Stop being so stubborn. My eyes have seen through everything.”

Gu Chen was that kind of person. Reality wouldn’t teach him to be a better person; it would only draw him further into his self-centered world, helping him escape from everything.]

However, it doesn’t matter. Reality couldn’t teach him to be a better person, but Bing Shang could.

Seeing him act as if he didn’t care, Bing Shang sneered and said to the several bodyguards behind her, “Young Master Gu might not know how, go help him.”

Bodyguards: “Yes!”

So, two tall and strong bodyguards, each capable of lifting two Gu Chen’s with their bare hands, stepped forward step by step. With the background music playing at full blast, their imposing aura was overwhelming. Even Gu Ze on the side seemed a bit startled. Gu’s mother, who had been covering her mouth, saw that her youngest son was about to be taken away, mustered all her strength, broke free from the control of her guards, and ended up in front of Gu Chen, shouting, “What are you doing? You’re not allowed to touch my son!”

The two bodyguards paid no attention to her.

With a hoarse voice, Gu’s mother shouted, “You won’t take A-Chen away today!”

“Get lost! Don’t touch my son!”

“Take away your filthy leash. My son won’t wear such dog stuff!”

“Don’t come any closer! If you want to take A-Chen away, you’ll have to step over me!”

Gu’s mother acted like a shrew, completely devoid of the elegance she had as a wealthy wife. Her previously sharp and sarcastic expressions, usually reserved for private matters, were now on full display. Due to debt evasion, she was left with her only set of expensive clothes, which she refused to take off even when sleeping. Now, her clothes were disheveled and covered in dirt and stains. She used to carefully groom herself every day, trying to maintain her former dignified appearance, but her hair was now a mess, resembling a bird’s nest, completely devoid of any grace.

It’s unclear where she learned those unruly tactics. She flopped onto the ground and presented a stance of “if you’re capable, step over me.”

Seeing the two bodyguards actually stopping, Gu’s mother felt triumphant for a moment, not realizing how undignified her behavior appeared.

But her triumph didn’t last long. She heard Bing Shang casually say, “Didn’t you hear Mrs. Gu’s words? When you step, remember to be gentle. Don’t let it happen that when the debt collectors come in later, they find only a few corpses on the ground.”

Gu’s mother: “?”

Audience: ???

Audience: Holy cow! Are they really going to step on him?!

Watching the scene unfold, the audience was flabbergasted!

[Hahaha, this is too much. I’m seriously laughing.]

[Where’s the dignity, Mrs. Gu?]

[Whenever I feel the plot is intense or going towards abuse, Yan Jie always finds a way to make me burst out laughing.]

[I thought Bing Shang was tough, but I didn’t expect her to be this tough! Well done, girl! Stay strong and don’t show any mercy!]

Turning back to the story…

[After Gu’s mother rolled away, the two bodyguards turned to Gu Chen, who was still coldly observing, and directly put the silver dog leash around his neck. To prevent the dog from biting their lady’s precious little sister, one of the bodyguards even took out a pre-prepared dog muzzle, a black iron one that surprisingly matched the silver chain.

At the sight of the dog muzzle, a hint of resistance and disgust flashed in Gu Chen’s eyes. When his mother stood in front of him like a washing machine, splashing him with words, he didn’t react at all. But now, seeing the dog muzzle, his reaction was intense. “Get lost! Don’t f***ing touch me!”

But no matter how much he resisted, in this shabby little house, Gu’s father was knocked unconscious, Gu Ze and Gu’s mother were being controlled by other bodyguards. He could only focus his gaze on Bing Shang. As he struggled and spoke sweet words to her, he continued, “Bing Shang, what exactly do you want to play? Alright, okay, I can play whatever you want, but can you keep this thing away from me? And, can you tell your people to back off?”

Bing Shang snorted, annoyed by the noise, “After you’re done, bring the dog back to me. I’ll go back to the car first.”

The two bodyguards complied.

Before leaving, Bing Shang warned Gu Ze and Gu’s mother, “You better not think of anything funny. The debt collectors are outside. Either obediently hand Gu Chen over to me, or you can enjoy a nice cup of tea with those creditors.”

Then, without caring about the reactions of the people in the room, she left.

The night outside was dark, and the bodyguards carefully led Bing Shang. A group of people walked through the night.

Inside the shabby house, the struggling and screaming of the man and woman continued, piercing through the sky. However, within this old, run-down building, nobody paid any attention.

In less than five minutes, the bodyguards, holding onto Gu Chen, muzzled and leashed, arrived outside Bing Shang’s car.

Bing Shang lowered the car window. Seeing Gu Chen, beaten to a pulp, barely clinging to life outside the window, she finally showed a faint smile. She rolled up the window again, blocking Gu Chen’s gaze, now filled with hatred. She instructed the driver, “Let’s go home.”

From that night onwards, Bing Shang’s dog training plan officially began.

Every morning, she would have the bodyguards bring Gu the dog to her. When she had some free time, she would toss a frisbee. If Gu didn’t fetch, the bodyguards would carry him. Then, they would place the frisbee in his mouth and make him “fetch” it back.

However, Bing Shang was a good owner too. She made sure he had three meals a day, which she personally brought to the doghouse she had built for Gu Chen, throwing the bowl on the ground. Whether he ate or not was up to him.

In the afternoon, Bing Shang would also take her newly acquired dog for a walk. At first, the dog didn’t cooperate much. The bodyguards would accompany them, and whenever Gu Chen didn’t cooperate, he wouldn’t escape a “lesson” from them.

How Gu Chen treated Bing Shang in the past, and how he treated those innocent girls, was now being returned to him twofold by Bing Shang.

At first, Gu Chen, the dog, was very disobedient, occasionally resisting. But after numerous lessons and beatings, the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. He stopped eating and drinking and even considered ending his life.]

But Bing Shang would never let him die just like that.

Not eating or drinking, huh? Let’s have someone feed you.

Thinking of jumping off a building? Send someone to watch you 24/7. If you try to jump, they’ll beat you and then provide you with the best doctors for your injuries.

After being tortured for a month like this, Gu Chen finally became obedient. At first, he wanted to win back his wife, but now he could only beg for survival. He couldn’t even find a reason to live each day, let alone talk about winning back his wife.

One day, Gu Chen suddenly had an idea!

He started trying to please Bing Shang…]

The audience who had been enjoying the sight of Bing Shang training the dog, now found themselves both surprised and amused when they saw Gu the dog suddenly trying to please her. They had mixed reactions:

[Could Gu the dog possibly be trying to rekindle their old relationship? Bing Shang has been stomping all over him, why is he still thinking about getting back together? And hasn’t he been drinking, is he still drunk?]

[No, seriously, hahaha, Yan Jie is so daring. She actually used a dog leash and a dog muzzle, and even got his dad to really train him. I’m dying of laughter.]

[Damn! This is so satisfying! I once peeked at some archaeological romance novels during an archaeology class. The male lead in those novels was just like Gu the dog, a crazy lunatic, constantly imprisoning and torturing the female lead. I thought the female lead would eventually get revenge, but when I flipped to the last page, the female lead willingly married the male lead who tortured her… I was so angry after reading that, I couldn’t sleep all night! Yan Jie really knows what I want to see!! This is so satisfying! I’m going to sleep soundly tonight!]

[To be honest, isn’t Bing Shang imprisoning Gu the dog now? While Gu the dog is detestable, Bing Shang’s behavior seems no different from that of an outlaw…]

[Hold on, before this, didn’t Bing Shang provide him with the best treatment when he was injured? Don’t forget, Gu the dog is responsible for two lives, one is Bing Shang’s unborn child, and the other is Yu Ling. There might even be more than two lives at stake!]

[Well, “although,” it’s just a TV show, as long as it’s enjoyable! And didn’t Yan Yue start from the dog training scenes, with subtitles saying “This behavior involves legal issues, do not imitate”? Just take it as an enjoyable drama and don’t overthink it! If you really scrutinize it, all the characters in this show are outlaws.]

[Hahaha, Yan Jie is as considerate as always. I’m crying.]

[I’m starting to suspect that Gu the dog wants to learn from Bing Shang, using a handsome man’s tactic to soften her heart and then deliver a fatal blow.]

[Gu the dog is overthinking things. To our Empress Bing Shang, I can only say: Go, fetch the frisbee.]

[HAHAHAHAHAHAHA]

In fact, some of the bullet comments had already guessed Gu Chen’s intentions. He indeed wanted to make Bing Shang soften up, and he also wanted to take revenge on her.

[In this past month, Gu Chen’s mindset had shifted multiple times. His love for Bing Shang was as much as his hatred for her!

He didn’t want to endure this humiliation anymore; he wanted revenge!

However, when he approached Bing Shang with the intention of getting closer to her, she boredly threw the frisbee out of her hand. Gu Chen’s gaze was originally fixed on Bing Shang’s face, but in the instant the frisbee flew out, his body moved ahead of his mind, and he ran after the frisbee.

After fetching the frisbee, Gu Chen suddenly remembered he was here for revenge, not to fetch a frisbee!

He regrouped and went to pour water for Bing Shang, whose teacup was empty. However, Bing Shang yawned and said she was tired and wanted to rest.

For several days, Gu Chen’s revenge plan hadn’t been implemented at all. Just as he was considering finding another way out, he overheard a conversation between Bing Shang and He Linfeng.

He Linfeng: “Haven’t you had enough fun?”

Bing Shang: “We’re just getting started. Sister is still asleep, right? I think when she wakes up and sees the new pet I’ve raised, she’ll be very happy.”

He Linfeng, helpless, said, “Just make sure you don’t get hurt. Otherwise, I won’t be able to explain it to your sister.”

Bing Shang: “Understood, Brother-in-law.”

He Linfeng then asked, “Is your pet planning to turn on its master?”

Bing Shang: “Brother-in-law, don’t you think it’s more fun this way?”]

[…]

[But what made Gu Chen’s world truly collapse was still to come —

Bing Xin woke up.]

Seeing Bing Xin open her eyes, the bullet comments couldn’t contain their excitement:

[Ah ah ah ah ah!! Sister has finally woken up!]

[Sob sob sob, sister, come see the empire your little sister and your husband have built for you!!]

[Sister! Your little sister has raised a dog for you, go see it!]

[Sister, did you remember the past? Why do I feel that when “Shen Ruojin” opened her eyes, she seems completely different from when she was at the Gu’s house??]

[To the previous commenter! I feel the same! I’ve noticed it too! I feel like Shen Ruojin’s gaze and demeanor are even gentler now! Not only that, I even think she looks better now than before.]

【Indeed, it’s still Shen Ruojin’s face, but she’s even more beautiful than before. I wonder why. How did Yan Jie create such a lifelike character? She’s truly amazing!】

[If only I had half of Yan Jie’s skill in creating lifelike characters, I wouldn’t have gotten a D grade on my face-molding exam, sob sob sob.]

[Hey hey hey? What’s going on? Is she starting to recall her past?]

[Ah ah ah, it’s a flashback, it’s really a flashback!! We’re getting sister and brother-in-law sweetness! Shipper fans rejoice!]

[After Bing Xin opened her eyes, she saw He Linfeng. In that instant, her eyes filled with tears. She wanted to get up, but she was immobilized from being in a coma for so long.

He Linfeng seemed to know what she was thinking, and without hesitation, he leaned over to hug her.

Soon, Bing Xin heard He Linfeng choking up as he whispered in her ear, “Wife, you’ve suffered, I’m sorry.”

The words “Wife, I’m sorry” sounded soft and tender, almost like a spoiled child. It was a stark contrast to the cold and imposing He Linfeng of the past few days.

Bing Xin struggled to raise her hand and gently patted He Linfeng’s back. Ironically, the patient was comforting He Linfeng.

He Linfeng burst into tears, burying his head in the crook of Bing Xin’s neck, crying softly.

After a while, he heard Bing Xin slowly say, “I’m fine, don’t cry.”

He Linfeng nodded with a muffled voice.

When both of their emotions had calmed down, He Linfeng realized and immediately went to call the doctor.

Watching He Linfeng’s retreating figure, Bing Xin smiled gently, looked at the ceiling, and plunged into memories —

She recalled her university days.

Back then, He Linfeng wasn’t the renowned capital star’s richest man and the CEO of the He Corporation as he was now. He was just an arrogant playboy who loved to hang around her. When she asked him what he was up to, he would always respond with teasing remarks.

Over time, Bing Xin’s roommates teased her, saying that He Linfeng must have liked her, otherwise, why would he be lingering around her all the time just to get noticed.

Whenever this happened, Bing Xin would blush and tell them not to talk nonsense. But secretly, she hoped for it too, though she wasn’t exactly sure what she was hoping for.

Then, one day, a guy named Gu Chen suddenly appeared before her. He was arrogant and overbearing, a complete contrast to He Linfeng.

He Linfeng was prideful but well-mannered; despite their mutual teasing, he would never say anything offensive. Gu Chen, on the other hand, was a complete anomaly. He was arrogant, disrespectful, and intrusive. He invaded her life recklessly and didn’t care whether she liked it or not. He would openly display his affection for her in public, even forcing kisses on her. He didn’t care about other people’s gazes; if he wanted something, he would go to any lengths to get it. He was truly a madman.

And so, she was imprisoned by this madman. He believed he had brought the best of everything to her—beautiful clothes, jewelry, shoes, the best food, and more.

He tirelessly tried to win her over, but she wasn’t a pet. She wouldn’t wag her tail just because he gave her a treat.

She didn’t like it, so she rejected all his “kindness.”

Then, the madman became even crazier.

He locked her by the bedside, confined her to the bathroom, and threw her into the room where he kept his spiritual beasts. He tried to make her beg…

She was like a caged canary, gradually losing hope for life.

Until He Linfeng came to rescue her.
