As the daughter of one of Shanghai's top wealthy families, Jian Zhizhen was forced to marry into a remote, deserted region because of her notorious reputation.
Before their marriage, she discovered that her first fiancé was keeping a dancer as a mistress. So she tied them both up naked and hung them on the Baiwaidu Bridge for people to see. The two women died of shame that very day.
Her second fiancé sent someone to her home before their wedding to teach her the traditional virtues of obedience, submission, and chastity. She brought the man back, and in return, taught him the same virtues, even binding his feet, which caused him excruciating pain.
The third, fourth, fifth, sixth... all died violent deaths.
This seventh husband dared not marry her, but was also afraid of her warlord father and brother, and was so frightened that he died before the wedding ceremony.
She then planned to rush home and ask her parents to find her another one to play with.
As a result, when they passed by a mountain, they were captured by the local mountain king and taken back to his stronghold.
At this moment, Jian Zhizhen was bound hand and foot, sitting on a chair in front of the hall, staring straight at the mountain king in front of him.
The man in front of her was probably around the same age as her. Although he was dressed in shabby clothes, he was quite good-looking. His face was very handsome, especially his eyes, which were deliberately fierce yet revealed a clear mind, which pleased her greatly.
Several of his men, all of them teenagers, were standing nearby.
After staring at each other for a long time, the man in front of him finally couldn't hold back and spoke: "Behave yourself! Stop looking around like that, you look like you're up to no good."
Jian Zhizhen burst out laughing.
When she smiled, the man in front of her felt his cheeks and ears burn, and he subconsciously looked away.
She was so beautiful. Her face was so fair and delicate, unlike anything he had ever seen in this desolate wilderness. The clothes she wore were also unlike anything he had ever seen before. The stand-up collar and the perfectly fitted cut showed off her exquisite figure.
The moment he saw her, he wanted to snatch her back and have his baby.
And then he did just that.
Jian Zhizhen laughed for a while before stopping. She could tell that the man in front of her was indeed a bit silly.
She asked, "What's your name?"
After a few moments of silence, the other party replied with a stern face, "Qin Yubai."
Jian Zhizhen: "Why did you kidnap me back here?"
Qin Yubai: "Have a baby."
Jian Zhizhen couldn't help but laugh again, but she held it in and said as if coaxing a child, "That's not how you give birth. You have to come with me to a room where no one is around, and we'll give birth alone."
Qin Yubai felt somewhat embarrassed.
He really didn't understand; the village was full of children, and no one taught him.
But he insisted on pretending to know what he didn't: "I know, you don't need to teach me!"
They pulled the person back into the room and closed the door.
And then...and then he didn't know what to do next.
Jian Zhizhen looked around the room and saw that although it was simple, it was clean enough to walk around in. She sat down on the bed next to him and ordered, "Go and get me some food. How can I have a baby if I'm not full?"
Qin Yubai stared at her for a while, and thinking about it, it did make sense. Before giving birth, all the women down the mountain had full bellies.
So he obediently went to prepare food for her.
After finishing her meal, Jian Zhizhen said to him, "Go and get me some hot water. I need to take a shower before I can give birth."
Qin Yubai did as instructed.
After taking a shower, Jian Zhizhen lay comfortably on the bed, intending to go to sleep.
I thought to myself that these mountain kings who live in seclusion are really easy to fool. Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, so I can stay here for a few more days.
When I've had enough fun, I'll write a letter to my brother and ask him to come and wipe out this wretched mountain stronghold.
She was happily calculating when she suddenly felt a chill.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Qin Yubai squatting by her bedside, lifting her blanket and carefully examining her body, which was only wearing a nightgown.
Jian Zhizhen slapped his hand away and asked fiercely, "What are you looking at?"
She was quite forceful; Qin Yubai's hand was red from being slapped.
But he wasn't angry. He withdrew his hand, shook it, and said seriously, "Let me see where you give birth?"
As he spoke, he grabbed her small, delicate, white foot and gently pinched it: "Did you grow from the soles of your feet?"
Jian Zhizhen kicked him hard in the chest, knocking him to the ground, then pulled out the soft whip from his arm for self-defense and lashed him twice.
One lash landed on Qin Yubai's arm, and another on his neck, leaving a red welt on half of his neck.
The spot where he was hit stung painfully. Qin Yubai clutched his neck, frowning as he looked at her: "Why did you hit me?"
“I just love hitting people.” Jian Zhizhen got out of bed and chased after him, continuing to whip him. “I’ve been married seven times and still haven’t gotten married because I beat my seven previous fiancés to death. If you dare touch me, I’ll beat you to death too!”
Qin Yubai dodged twice, but the room was too small and there was nowhere to hide, so he grabbed her whip, pulled her into his arms and held her tightly.
He raised his hand, wanting to slap her too... but...
No, I can't bring myself to do it just by looking at her face.
Even when she whipped him, he wasn't angry. He thought to himself, "Just let her have her way. As long as she's happy, I'll let her get beaten."
After hesitating for a long time, he let go of her hand and rubbed his nose: "I'm tough, I can't be killed."
The implication is: Even if you hit me, I'll still have your baby.
Jian Zhizhen's anger had subsided considerably; looking at his silly expression, she even found him somewhat adorable...
Forget it, he's just an idiot, I won't bother arguing with him.
She turned around and went back to bed to continue lying down.
Qin Yubai was still standing there, staring at her.
She couldn't take it anymore and turned around to yell, "What are you looking at so late at night? Look again and I'll gouge your eyes out! You go to sleep too!"
