>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.

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.
