>Introduction: The First Time. Young master, don't be afraid. I only rob treasures, not virtue. Her eyes twinkled, her words gentle. She only wanted one thing, but the situation seemed unfavorable. With just one glance, she knew that he wasn't someone easily provoked. Why don't you try robbing one? The man's eyes narrowed, his voice shook the heavens, and everything fell into silence. No one dared to disobey or go against him. Okay then. She smiled lightly, seemingly unaffected by his intimidation. She gladly accepted his offer because he allowed her to rob him, didn't he? And so, the seemingly invincible, unparalleled, and supreme him was truly robbed by her. Then, he became angry. The mountains shook, the sea surged, the heavens collapsed, and the earth split. Did she really think she could escape after robbing him? This whole world was his, and he wanted to see where she could run to. >The Second Time. Robbing treasures again this time? The man's eyes narrowed, he looked at her with an ambiguous smile, his expression inscrutable and profound. She finally appeared. This time, he was eager to see where she could escape to. Alright then, alright. Her eyes twinkled, she smiled lightly, appearing carefree. But, as she gazed at the man who smiled like a fox, she knew it would be difficult for her to escape today. He had obviously come to settle the score with her. You don't plan to rob me of anything else? He smirked, a hint of something different flickering in his deep gaze. I have a husband waiting for me at home. How could I flirt with others outside? He specifically instructed me not to pick any wildflowers on the roadside. She suddenly stopped smiling, giving a serious response. Her expression was so earnest that it seemed genuine. Before the words even settled, she turned and attempted to leave. To retreat is the best strategy in the thirty-six stratagems. Instantly, everyone's faces turned grim. They were the rulers of the world, universally respected and obeyed. Yet, their master had become a roadside wildflower? And she even despised him to such an extent. Was there any justice in this world? Dream on if you think you can escape. Husband, kill her. As for you... The next moment, he had already leaned forward, firmly locking her in place. There was a hint of resentment in his voice. This time, if he allowed her to escape again, he wouldn't be Baili Xuan. > The Third Time, the Fourth Time, the Fifth Time... Various thrilling battles unfolded, with winning and losing reliant on each individual's abilities. In front of others, she was a weak and fragile girl who would collapse with a gust of wind. She was timid, ordinary-looking, and allegedly wouldn't live past thirty. But behind their backs, she was a heroic and fearless lady, standing for justice, robbing the rich to help the poor, loved by everyone, and blossoming like a flower. Life was going beautifully for her. But ever since she met him, everything changed.
