Throughout the night, Luo Xiu tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
His original plan had been simple. He wanted to use the incident with Xu Qianqing to cause some trouble while posing as the "Lin Family Son-in-law," thereby forcing Lin Xiyue to divorce him.

The Lin Family Head, Lin Youpeng, had been severely burned and was in the hospital, fighting for his life. Old Master Lin, Lin Daqi, had watched his life's work go up in flames, collapsing after vomiting blood. Now he too lay critically ill in bed, his life hanging by a thread.
