On her wedding night, her husband ran off abroad with his mistress. Did Jiang Zhiyou cry? Not at all! She simply turned around and became the patron of an impossibly handsome young man. Well, why not let everyone have some fun? Her kept man was broad-shouldered, slim-waisted, brimming with vitality—wild and alluring, tempting her every night.
