To this day, no one can guess what kind of woman he likes, nor does anyone know what kind of woman he dislikes. Only he himself knows that the woman who plays dirty tricks, uses petty tricks, or schemes against him is the one he dislikes the most.

Even if this woman is as beautiful as an angel and has both beauty and talent, Huo Jingsha's interest is completely lost and he will stay away from her simply because she shamelessly offers herself to him!

Many women in his backyard vied for his favor, scheming and plotting to win his favor even once. Sometimes he tacitly approved, and as a reward, he would occasionally feign affection for them. Every woman sent to his residence had a specific purpose and represented a power group. Even if he didn't like them, he had to show them some care. Only by making them submit to him could they do more for him, forget their original masters, and wholeheartedly support him. This was what he wanted.

He also understood that what made these women fight so fiercely wasn't just him as a person, but the power, status, and wealth he possessed.

Without these halos, those women would scatter and run faster than rabbits. He had long been used to this when he went to arrest criminals, raid homes, and conduct trials.

What is meant by unwavering loyalty and unbreakable love? It's all a joke. Once power and status are gone, the feelings between men and women become incredibly fragile, even among married couples. As the saying goes, "Husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest; when disaster strikes, they fly away separately."

In fact, You Shuyao had been serving him for half a year. During that time, the only time he looked at her properly and even showed any interest was when she saved him from being stung to death by a scorpion in the study.

At the time, he was not entirely unaware. Although he was resting with his eyes closed, the scorpion was so close to him that, with his keen hearing honed through years of martial arts training, he had already detected something amiss. He was simply waiting for the perfect moment to throw the dart, but what he received was her gasp in surprise.

This really surprised him. When he was on the verge of death, a little girl would risk her life to save him. It was hard for him not to pay attention to her.

It's a pity... His interest in her had just been ignited when it was extinguished by her greedy appearance. Although he was still smiling, his heart was already ice-cold.

It turns out her motives for saving him weren't pure either; it was all about self-interest. Thinking about it calmly, she wasn't wrong. Human nature is driven by self-interest and the desire to avoid harm; as the saying goes, "Man dies for wealth, bird dies for food."

Now, she's got a box of gold, yet she's still not satisfied, dreaming of climbing up his tree and doing the same obsequious things as other women. Was her chastity all an act? When he learned she rejected Steward Sun's threats, he thought she was different from other women, but it turns out she's nothing special. Perhaps she simply looks down on Steward Sun's status and position, and the person she really wants to climb up to… is him, Huo Jingsha.
