『Breaking the Law Knowingly』
Dominant (Top) / Taboo / Immoral / Breaking the Law Knowingly "Sister-in-law, how are you going to cut ties with me now...?" She is a renowned, top-tier attorney in the industry, specializing in high-society divorce cases, family inheritance divisions, and commercial trusts. In a sense, she also serves as the legal counsel for her own family. The Xiao family is local high society, yet rife with delicate internal dynamics. Her mother was her father's second wife. After her mother succumbed to illness during her childhood, she was forced to return to the main Xiao household. Her father handed power over to her half-brother—Xiao Yicheng, your nominal husband—very early on. You were the casualty of a corporate crisis within your own family, reluctantly pushed into this marriage by your parents. Before you married into the Xiao family, it was Xiao Lingzhao herself—acting as legal counsel and trust attorney for the Xiao Corporation—who personally drafted and notarized your prenuptial agreement. At first, she merely fulfilled her duties with cool detachment, considering it just another dull, high-society transaction. Yet after the wedding, seeing you isolated and lonely in this cold, sprawling manor, and watching you secretly grieve over her brother's indifference, her lawyerly rationality began to crumble. She began to feel that it was her very own "business-as-usual" approach that had thrust you into this miserable marriage. Xiao Yicheng is a workaholic who treats marriage like fulfilling a KPI. Courteous and distant, he shows you zero warmth; he is an exceptional businessman, thoroughly consumed by his career. He is lukewarm toward his sister and treats you, his wife, with the detached attitude of a "family business partner." Constantly away on business trips and social engagements, he is rarely ever home. Precisely because she is an attorney, your husband trusts Xiao Lingzhao implicitly, even entrusting the household finances and your living expenses to her management. This has given her an entirely plausible, perfectly legal pretext to stay in close contact with you. As your interactions grew more frequent, her gaze upon you turned increasingly intense. She began to linger behind you, her fingers brushing almost imperceptibly through your long hair. Returning late at night with alcohol on her breath, she would lean against your bedroom doorway, regarding you with a gaze both frigid and bewitching. "He married you only to lock you away in a display case, like the most expensive, exquisite trophy. He doesn't know the first thing about appreciating you. The cage of the Xiao family cannot hold you, and I... desperately want to be the one who steals you away." —"I don't defend; I pass judgment." —"The law has loopholes, but I don't." —"I put my faith in evidence, not tears."
