My boyfriend cheated on me.

I couldn't believe it.

He appeared to be so introverted, easily blushing even with a few extra glances. It was hard for me to believe that he would cheat so easily.

But when I saw him holding that girl's hand in front of me, my whole worldview shattered.

I never could have imagined that the one he would cheat with would be his childhood friend,Tina Shen. The girl who always seemed carefree and tomboyish, always calling me "sister-in-law."

Anderson Chouapologized to me, and for a moment, I didn't know whether I should be concerned about their childhood friendship turning into a marriage or be heartbroken over my failed love affair.

Indeed, the saying "a virtuous woman is afraid of a persistent suitor" applies to men as well.

No matter how shy a boy may be, when he encounters an affectionate and passionate girl, he becomes bewildered. Besides, if you had feelings for each other from the start, why did I bother intervening?

Tina Shenapologized to me with a dejected look, saying things like it was out of necessity and not to blame her brother. It was all her fault.

Hearing her words made me sick to my stomach.

Don't call me petty, but you should know that in ancient times, there were four unforgivable offenses: patricide, wife stealing, national betrayal, and family extermination.

Just the act of stealing someone else's wife,Tina Shenand I had an irreconcilable grudge.

To exact revenge for my roommate stealing my love, I decided to seduce her uncle.

Tina Shen's uncle was a professor in the political science department. Let alone anything else, the fact that she knows "three when knowing three" was enough for me to despise her, but fate would have me become her uncle's future niece-in-law.

I'm studying architecture, completely unrelated, but for the sake of revenge, I purposely attended his lectures with my naive mind.

My roommate studied law and was once infatuated withTina Shen's uncle, but that love vanished after just one class.

I was stuck at school because I hadn't finished my thesis, while my roommate was forced to stay because Shen Yusang made her fail a class, so she had to retake it.

When I begged her to take me to attend the lectures together, she gave me a disdainful and derisive look, as if I were an idiot.

"Celina Lyn, are you crazy? Did I not mock enough, or is your brain just filled with water, making you dizzy? Do you want to add more to it?"

I felt exhausted and tired, looking at her. "Listen to me, Tina Shen's uncle is your professor."

She looked me up and down with contempt, mocking me fiercely. "Well, I advise you to give up. You'd better think of ways to make Anderson Chou fall in love with you instead of becomingTina Shen's aunt."

Choosing to become Anderson Chou's secret lover and Tina Shen's uncle's sister-in-law, I resolutely chose the latter. A good horse does not go back to graze on old grass, especially not blushing grass.

"No, I firmly reject your suggestion. Just think about it, he didn't even hold hands with me when we were dating, but he slept with Tina Shen. What does that prove?"

She rolled her eyes at me. "You lack charm."

I... well, I admit it. But this was undoubtedly pouring salt on my already difficult-to-heal wound and then adding chili powder.

I continued to argue, "It should have been them planning to have a secret relationship for a long time!"

Finally, after my relentless pleas, she agreed to take me to attend the lectures.

Before leaving, she couldn't help but mock me again. "If you really take down that average-looking Eason Shen, even though the chances are slim, but just in case, just in case there's a possibility, I beg you, for the sake of being roommates, don't point me out."

Listening to her mention Eason Shen, average-looking, it was such a refreshing adjective.

The thought of avenging Tina Shen made me happy, so I enthusiastically pulled my roommate to choose a perfect spot in the classroom.

My roommate looked at the spot directly facing the podium, the ideal spot I called "right time, right place, and right people." He hesitated and said, "That spot is good, you go ahead. Don't drag me along. I'll just be a third wheel and won't disturb you."

"But I'm alone, I'm scared! Come sit with me and boost my confidence!" Although I was a bit excited to do this for the first time, deep down, I was still timid.

My roommate was very supportive but firmly refused, "The road to becoming a champion is lonely. Don't be afraid, go for it! I believe in you."

I knew she was afraid because of whatEason Shenhad put her through, so I didn't insist.

Leaning on my headrest, I waited forEason Shen. The latecomers had no choice but to sit beside me with awkward expressions on their faces.

One of them frowned as he glanced at the prime spot I had saved for my roommate and lamented, "I overslept, didn't grab a good seat!"

"Come on, it's not that bad fellow student. We architecture students struggle to get seats even if we come late."

Just as people started chatting,Eason Shenentered the classroom, and instantly, silence fell upon the room.

That classmate muttered under his breath, "Courageous student." Then he lowered his head and buried himself in the textbook, as if wishing to disappear within its pages.

I stared atEason Shen, and it seemed like he sensed my intense gaze. He looked in my direction, and while everyone prayed for me silently, three words echoed in my mind: "Despicable civilized scum."

Eason Shenstood at the podium for two hours, and I propped my head on the desk the entire time, watching him.

Because of his terrifying questioning during attendance, everyone in the classroom trembled with fear. I kept my eyes on him until he noticed me.

As expected, the strategy worked. He didn't call my name, after all, I wasn't in their class, so he couldn't really point me out.

Consequently, he called out everyone else and then gave me a meaningful look.

The student next to me whispered, "Seriously? You're actually attending his class?"

That look, that tone made me question my decision in my heart.

"I... I'm just eager to learn."

"Brave of you!"

Well, he was also brave, talking to me and catchingEason Shen's attention.

With just a single glance, I felt scared, and suddenly, I lost my nerve. This wasn't a rational choice.

The classmate shrank his neck, barely daring to move, as if afraid even breathing would alertEason Shen.

"This student here,"Eason Shen's thin lips gently opened, and his clear voice turned into a chilling blade in their ears. The most nervous and uneasy individual was probably the one beside me, who shrunk like a quail. I nearly burst out laughing.

The already quiet classroom fell even quieter.

"The male student in the second row, third seat, who's currently bowing his head."

The student reluctantly stood up as if resigned to his fate.

Eason Shenlooked at me, but his words were directed to the standing student, "Please analyze this case."

I couldn't dare to look at him and pretended to focus on the projector, but my head was throbbing.

"A 19-year-old university student named Zhang repeatedly used his roommate Wang's mobile phone without permission to make calls. Wang noticed an abnormally high phone bill and intended to check the call details. Worried that he might be caught, Zhang lured Wang to the rooftop of their dormitory on a specific date, armed with a nylon rope, a kitchen knife, and a fruit knife. When Wang was off guard, Zhang mercilessly attacked him by slashing his head, neck, shoulders, and hands dozens of times with the kitchen knife until he believed Wang was dead, before fleeing the scene. Later, Wang, lying in a pool of blood, was discovered by his classmates and rushed to the hospital for rescue. According to the forensic examination, Wang had suffered severe injuries and was classified as a level 6 disability."

The hesitant student answered, "Based on the case, Zhang had full criminal responsibility and fulfilled the elements of the intentional homicide offense under the Criminal Law, without any lawful self-defense or other justifiable reasons. Therefore, he committed intentional homicide."

Eason Shenwasn't planning to let him go just yet and asked, "Is there anything else?"

The student didn't seem to know much else and struggled to find the right words.

Eason Shenadded, "According to our Criminal Procedure Law, for the losses caused to the victim by criminal activities, the perpetrator shall bear civil liability and can be sued concurrently in criminal and civil proceedings. Is that correct?"

"I... I suppose so."

Eason Shensmiled faintly, looking gentle, but his words were like thunder, "Very well. This student, please copy the entire 'Criminal Law' for me. Hand it in by next Friday."

Truly a poisonous beauty. The better looking they are, the more ruthless they become. Copying the entire "Criminal Law," it's such a thick book. I was already starting to regret it.

When I looked at the classmate again, his face had turned ashen, but he still didn't dare to say anything.

After class, that classmate slumped on the desk, and I felt a bit guilty for it all. If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have caught Shen Yusan's attention.

I patted my classmate's shoulder and said, "Hey, do you want me to help you copy half of it?"

He waved his hand at me as if he were a delicate thread and said, "Do you still think he's good-looking?"

I told the truth, "Yeah, he's quite good-looking."

"Then you'll have to face the consequences yourself!"

His words reminded me of the way he had just looked at me, and a wave of fear washed over me. I realized I had acted impulsively and needed to think things through carefully.

I seem to understand my roommate's feelings now. Is Eason Shen attractive? Yes, he is, but it's a bit unbearable, really.

"I think I was a bit too impulsive. I'm really afraid that if I pursue him, he'll make me copy a copy of the 'Criminal Law.'"

My roommate looked at me cunningly, enjoying my misfortune: "Oh, did the emperor pass away in the middle of his unfinished achievements?"

I defended myself slyly: "Mainly because I think one shouldn't cling too much to the past, it's just a small grudge."

She stared straight ahead in the corridor: "Celina Lyn, is that your ex-wife over there?"

I looked in her direction and to my surprise, it really was her.

The two of them walked intimately side by side, looking like good buddies to the unknowing eyes.

Ugh! Shameless couple! I silently sneered at them in my mind.

My roommate instigated from the side: "Celina Lyn, the resentment of taking someone's wife, can you endure it? Go after Eason Shen! Become his sister-in-law, so that the third party will have to avoid you in the future!"

Her words inspired me, reigniting my determination: "The enmity of taking someone's wife is irreconcilable! What floor is Eason Shen's office on? Let's go! Charge!"

"Fourth floor, third office, go for it! Don't hesitate, Celina Lyn! You're not his student, can he still make you copy the 'Criminal Law'? Go for it, Mrs. Shen!"

The title of Mrs. Shen pleased me, and with that confidence, I marched triumphantly towards the fourth floor.

But when I finally stood in front of Eason Shen's office, I faltered.

My initial impulse upon seeingTina Shenand Zhou An was extinguished by the peculiar and sympathetic gazes of the passing students as I stood beforeEason Shen's office.

I hesitated and paced outside his office, feeling as if every person passing by was judging me.

I felt like a beggar at the door, waiting for the mercy of passersby.

Speaking of which, I was indeed waiting forEason Shen's mercy, but I couldn't find the right way to justify myself. You've been betrayed by your own niece, so it's only fair that you suffer along with her!

I had come this far, so I decided to give it a try. Whether I succeed or fail, I can at least say I gave it a shot. If I don't try, I'll never know.

With a resolute heart, I reached for the doorknob.

But before I could move, it moved first.

The door opened from the inside, and I panicked. Could it be Eason Shen? I never imagined such an awkward situation would happen to me...

No, it wasn't him who came out; it was a classmate I had never seen before, probably from the Political and Law Department. However, his expression was hard to interpret.

For the first time, I felt the fan-shaped diagram of arrogant boss's eyes so close to me.

Three parts frustration, two parts desolation, four parts relief, and the remaining two parts were probably sympathy and gloating for me!

Me: "..."

Don't look at me like that, it only makes me more hesitant.

Besides making people copy the 'Criminal Law,' what else can Eason Shen do? Can a mere 'Criminal Law' book stop my love?

Besides, I'm not even in the Political and Law Department, so even if he wants me to copy, I can't. Right?

I took a deep breath and pushed open the door, the door that would determine whether I could overshadow that shameless couple in terms of seniority.
