Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Breaking Out

Afterward, she and Ares browsed the other floors, buying a few things Lu Xiao needed for herself before heading home hand in hand.

Not long after they got home, the mall delivered their purchases right on time.

Lu Xiao took out the clothes one by one, carefully putting together outfits for Ares and placing them in the closet. The newly filled wardrobe finally looked much more satisfying.

Ares watched the joy in the young female’s eyes, and his own heart filled with warmth and satisfaction.

He reached out, wrapped an arm around Lu Xiao’s waist, and pulled her into his embrace. "Thank you."

"What for? We’re family. Isn’t this what I’m supposed to do?" Lu Xiao hugged him back, nuzzling into his embrace. "Ares, I’m hungry."

At her words, Ares said at once, "I’ll go cook. What do you want to eat?"

"I want spicy-numbing noodles—the really numbing and spicy kind!"

Ares was initially a little worried about Lu Xiao’s love for spicy food. After all, she always added a ton of chili, insisting it was the only way to make it satisfyingly intense. He had been afraid she’d get sick from the heat.

Only after realizing that Lu Xiao was genuinely fine did he gradually stop worrying.

"Alright, I’ll make it for you!" Ares smiled and released her. He kissed Lu Xiao’s forehead, then turned and left the room.

Lu Xiao, meanwhile, stayed behind, happily continuing to organize the things she had bought that day.

She had also bought a very pretty bracelet that day, which was covered in little stars. It was so sparkly and pretty when it caught the light, and it made her wrist look slender and fair.

Ares had helped her pick it out. ’I have to say, Ares has great taste!’

That evening, Lu Xiao performed Spiritual Soothing for Ares. Once he was asleep, she went to the room next door to write her novel.

Recently, her novel, *After the Main Husband Runaway*, had reached its climax—

After Belle and Morian finalized their divorce, she learned of Morian’s true background and was furious. She felt utterly deceived. Morian came from such an incredible family—why had he lied to her, pretending to be a male from a common background? She tried to find Morian to demand an explanation, only to find she couldn’t even get past the gates of the Valenda family home.

Even though she was a female, she had no title and no wealthy family background. And while the Valendas also had no title, they were wealthy plutocrats. On that point alone, an ordinary female like Belle was no match for them.

Belle felt humiliated. She stood outside, shouting for Morian to come out and give her an explanation. But Morian, who was lying in bed recovering, remained completely unmoved. His older brother walked in, his face a mask of resentment. "This is what you get for being disobedient. Just look at the female you picked for yourself, what a creature she is. I told you long ago not to believe females are capable of love, but you refused to listen. You’ve made a complete wreck of yourself. Are you satisfied now?"

Morian looked at his brother, Mori Lei. "I’ve already paid the price." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

His words silenced Mori Lei. After a long moment, he said, "Forget it. Since you were smart enough to get a divorce, it’s not too late, even if it came at a price. Focus on your recovery. As long as you don’t do anything stupid from now on, Mother is still willing to take you back."

"That’s not necessary. There are things I want to do on my own. You don’t need to trouble Mother on my account. And don’t worry, big brother. I won’t make the same mistake twice."

"You’d better keep your word."

After Morian recovered, he opened a dessert shop. He was an excellent cook, and owning a dessert shop had always been his dream—a dream that had been put on hold after he met Belle. Now that he was free again, Morian was determined to make a fresh start. However, Belle somehow managed to find him and began to pester him relentlessly. When aggressive tactics failed, she tried a softer approach. Annoyed beyond endurance, Morian prepared to close his shop for a while. He even considered leaving town and going somewhere Belle could never find him.

But before he could decide on a place to go, just three days after closing his shop, a butler found him. He was the butler of Duke Lin Baixing. Lin Baixing was an extremely mysterious female, rumored to be in poor health, which was why she had never taken a male partner. Morian had never imagined he would be sought out by the butler of a Duke...

Finally, the true female lead was about to appear. Lu Xiao smiled in satisfaction, picked up the nearby water cup, and took a sip.

’Morian’s true salvation has appeared. Just you wait, it’s time to start dishing out the sweet romance!’

’Tons and tons of it!’

’Her original plan was to make Belle full of regret and then have her go through hell trying to win him back.’

’But she’d changed her mind. Belle would still get her "hell to win him back" plotline, but it would be the kind where he’s already been cremated and his ashes scattered to the wind. A scummy female like her didn’t deserve a happy ending. Morian deserved to be cherished by someone better!’

Lu Xiao was having a blast writing. Every time she finished a Chapter, she felt the frustration and fatigue in her heart melt away. It was her own special way of relaxing.

However, the readers’ reactions to the new Chapter were a different story—

"What’s going on? Is a new female character showing up?"

"Oh no, is Morian going to make the same mistake all over again?"

"Duke Lin Baixing doesn’t have a male partner yet. Don’t tell me Morian is going to become her main husband this time?"

"If Belle finds out a Duke has taken an interest in Morian, is she going to lose her mind?"

"Can I just timidly ask... does anyone else feel weird after reading this novel? I feel like my sleep quality has gotten a lot better lately. I don’t know if it’s just me."

"Replying to the poster above! Are you a male? Do you read this novel every night before bed? Seeing Belle get her comeuppance in the last few Chapters has put me in such an incredibly good mood. I’ve been sleeping so much more soundly than before. I wonder if it’s the same for you!"

"Yes, yes, I’ve noticed it too! When I read this before bed, I not only fall asleep faster, but I sleep better too. Is it because it puts me in a good mood? Anyway, following this novel has given me so much vicarious pleasure. When this author writes about a female getting her comeuppance, they really deliver!"

"What are a bunch of males getting so smug about here? I seriously suspect the author is some lowlife male writing this disgusting stuff. Reported. You’re welcome!"

...

In fact, with the plotlines of Belle getting her comeuppance and Morian actually going through with the divorce, *After the Main Husband Runaway* had been reported and flagged many times. However, because Lu Xiao was herself a female, the website didn’t act on the complaints. So her novel was still going strong.

This infuriated the females who had reported her. Their feeling of helplessness—like facing an enemy they could neither kill nor defeat—was intense.

It got to the point where they started a thread in the novel’s comment section to organize a boycott. But as a result, *After the Main Husband Runaway* ended up going viral. An even bigger flood of new readers poured in, and their comments completely drowned the boycott posts in a vast sea.

Lu Xiao herself was completely surprised by this, because lately, wherever she went, she could overhear people discussing her novel.
