My Friend’s Wife

★ A male lead who starts as a proper gentleman but later becomes a moral-less, gloomy, and obsessive maniac x An honest housewife who only wanted a peaceful life but was lured step-by-step into a trap by the twisted male lead. At her mother-in-law’s request, Jiang Ningsui went to the town to take care of her husband, attending to his daily needs and soothing his exhaustion every night. She never expected that Pei Duo, a son of the Pei family, would be renting the same small courtyard as her husband. Out of necessity, she began preparing an extra portion for Pei Duo during their daily meals. Whenever Pei Duo returned from the academy, he would see that fragile figure holding a kerosene lamp, waiting outside the courtyard. Even though he knew she was waiting for her husband, he found himself falling for her. Day after day… He gradually drowned in the immoral, tender trap of coveting his friend’s wife. Until one night, she smiled and said to him, “My husband treats me very well. He praises me for being virtuous and kind, attentive to his needs, and mindful of his well-being. He said that once he passes the high imperial examinations, he will surely give me a good life.” But that wasn’t what Zhao Zhixue said in front of him. He said— “Brother Pei, my wife is illiterate, ignorant, dull, and uninteresting. Especially in bed, she is no different from a wooden block. If you marry in the future, you must find a wife who is well-educated, intelligent, and quiet, and one who is a perfect match for you in your intimate life.” What Zhao Zhixue didn’t know was that Pei Duo had seen Jiang Ningsui’s charming and seductive side in bed. Her face was like a flower, the corners of her eyes brimming with a moving allure, appearing like a fragile bud washed by rain and dew. Later, Zhao Zhixue ranked third as a Tanhua in the imperial exams. He divorced Jiang Ningsui to marry the daughter of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. Jiang Ningsui was left homeless, standing alone and helpless on the street, looking at Pei Duo as he walked toward her with tear-filled eyes. Dressed in official robes and looking as refined as jade, the man reached out to gently brush away the tear stains on her cheeks. He said, “Don’t cry. You still have me.” “The humiliations you suffered from him, I will settle them for you, one by one.” . Before meeting Jiang Ningsui, Pei Duo considered himself a proper gentleman. After meeting Jiang Ningsui, Pei Duo felt he was a despicable man who coveted his friend’s wife. While watching Jiang Ningsui and her husband engage in intimacy under the same roof, an extremely wicked thought would always arise in his heart. —Kill Zhao Zhixue and replace him. Zhao Zhixue said she was too dull in bed, like a piece of wood. Pei Duo watched the person in his arms become covered in a thin layer of crimson from head to toe. Her trembling, her delicate moans, and her seductive, tearful eyes were all because of him. He felt that Ningsui was born to be his perfect match… She wasn’t a wooden block; that man was simply a useless waste. He didn’t know how to please Ningsui. 1. FL is not a virgin, ML is.
