Xu Xiaoman continued, "Sis, he's just a kept man you're supporting, yet he can't even recognize his place. He even tried to make me call him 'brother-in-law.' Honestly, I think he’s gotten so full of himself because he believes you're in love with him."
A kept man?
Doesn’t know his place?
Su Hua’s expression, which had just begun to soften, darkened again.
Standing right beside her, Xu Xiaoman clearly sensed the shift in Su Hua’s mood. However, she assumed it was directed at Lin Xuan, not her.
Smugly, she pressed on, "Sis, you can’t keep spoiling a man like this. You have to kick him out!"
"And don’t forget—take back all those luxury cars you gave him, along with that bank card with a billion yuan and the black card’s supplementary card!"
Xu Xiaoman had always resented the lavish gifts Su Hua had showered on Lin Xuan. Her sister had never given her a car, let alone a bank card. Why should this freeloader get them?
"Hah—" Su Hua let out a cold laugh. "Is that so?"
Xu Xiaoman shot Lin Xuan a triumphant look, mouthing the words, "You’re done for, gold-digger."
Lin Xuan raised an eyebrow.
Who was really done for? That remained to be seen.
Su Hua’s icy gaze settled on Xu Xiaoman. "What exactly happened between the two of you?"
Butler Wang, who had been leisurely snacking on sunflower seeds, suddenly stopped chewing, his eyes fixed intently on Su Hua and Lin Xuan. "After watching Second Miss’s little performance for so long, the real show is finally about to begin."
A servant nearby looked puzzled.
A show?
What show?
Xu Xiaoman frowned at Su Hua’s words, confused. Why did her sister’s tone sound accusatory?
Shaking her head, she dismissed the thought. No way—she was the victim here. Why would her sister question her?
She must be overthinking it.
Yes, that had to be it!
"Sis," Xu Xiaoman began, embellishing the story, "I didn’t do much. I just wanted to test if he was really sincere about you. So I offered him money to leave you."
Su Hua’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
Trying to make Lin Xuan leave her...
Completely oblivious to the danger, Xu Xiaoman continued, "But then he flaunted the luxury cars you gave him, along with your cards and money, saying my offer was just 'pocket change for beggars' and that he’d never stoop so low."
"Sis, it’s obvious—Lin Xuan is only after your money. He doesn’t care about you at all!"
"Then I got angry and scolded him a bit. And out of nowhere, he grabbed this whip and started beating me! Look what he did to me!"
Xu Xiaoman bit her lip.
Her entire body still burned with pain. It hurt so much.
"Finished?" Lin Xuan arched a brow.
"What?" Xu Xiaoman froze.
Lin Xuan smirked coldly. "Since you’re done, it’s my turn to speak."
"Fine, go ahead." Xu Xiaoman scoffed. She wanted to see what ridiculous excuse he could possibly come up with.
Su Hua’s gaze shifted to Lin Xuan, her expression softening—something Xu Xiaoman missed entirely, too focused on Lin Xuan’s defense.
"Hua Bao," Lin Xuan said innocently, "those injuries? She went crazy and whipped herself. I’m just a weak, helpless kept man. She’s been training in martial arts since childhood—how could I possibly overpower her?"
"You—!!"
Xu Xiaoman’s eyes widened in disbelief.
How dare he lie so brazenly to her sister’s face! The truth was right there!
She had never met someone so shameless.
Lin Xuan was utterly despicable!
"Sis!" Xu Xiaoman grabbed Su Hua’s arm. "Don’t listen to—"
Su Hua’s frigid stare dropped to Xu Xiaoman’s hand. A jolt of fear shot through her, and she immediately let go.
How could she forget? Her sister had severe personal space issues—she hated being touched.
Once, she had watched Su Hua dislocate a man’s arm just for brushing against her. Another time, a woman who dared touch her was sent flying with a single kick.
Xu Xiaoman quickly released her.
"Sis, don’t believe him!" she pleaded. "He’s lying to you! Why would I whip myself? Does that even make sense? And if I did, would the injuries even look like this?"
She turned back to Lin Xuan. "Lin Xuan, you can’t seriously think my sister would fall for this nonsense, do you?"
Ridiculous.
Her sister was the CEO of Su Corporation, a legend in the business world, with razor-sharp intelligence. Those who crossed her never came out unscathed.
Did Lin Xuan really think he could fool her?
Even an ordinary person wouldn’t buy such a flimsy excuse.
But then—
Su Hua nodded. "Mm. Lin Xuan didn’t lay a hand on her."
Whatever Lin Xuan said was the truth.
As long as he didn’t leave her or chase other women, she would stand by him unconditionally.
"Sis… what did you just say?" Xu Xiaoman thought she’d misheard.
Su Hua repeated, "You did this to yourself."
The bodyguards: "..."
The servants: "..."
Miss, are you serious?
Butler Wang wasn’t the least bit surprised.
No matter what Lin Xuan claimed, Su Hua would always take his side—even if he insisted black was white.
Xu Xiaoman’s eyes bulged like saucers.
Her sister actually believed him?!
This was the most absurd lie ever! How could she—
"Sis!" Xu Xiaoman flailed. "Lin Xuan is lying! Check the security footage—it’ll prove everything!"
Butler Wang interjected, "Unfortunately, the surveillance system malfunctioned this morning. No recordings exist."
"Then ask the bodyguards and servants!" Xu Xiaoman cried. "They all saw it! They’ll vouch for me!"
Bodyguard: "Miss, Second Miss did indeed… lose control and whip herself."
Servant: "Exactly. We all witnessed it. Young Master Lin is far too gentle to ever harm someone like this."
Another servant added respectfully, "Miss, Second Miss has always resented Young Master Lin. Since she couldn’t act openly, she staged this whole act—even sabotaged the surveillance—just to frame him."
The other servants nodded in agreement. "We all saw it. We can testify."
A complete and utter reversal of the truth.

and couldn't return to the real world. Finally, I gave up and decided to go with the flow, only to discover that writing a diary could make me stronger.

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet."
