The Capital City.
In the east of the city, it was bustling with activity.
At this time, before noon, the entire street was crowded with people rushing towards the Chastity Arch.
Around the Chastity Arch, it was even more packed, filled with excitement.
The citizens of the capital had not mobilized on such a large scale for a long time; it seemed that even the emperor's presence could not draw such a crowd.
Everyone was pushing and shoving each other, eager to see what was happening. A group of people surrounded the Chastity Arch tightly...
Each one wanted to see whose daughter had gone astray, committing an act that disgraced her family and tarnished her reputation. It was said that this time it was a woman as beautiful as a fairy!
Upon seeing the woman lying under the Chastity Arch, the men’s eyes were filled with greed, while the women looked on with envy but spoke words of jealousy. For more chapters, please visit.
"Whose girl is that up ahead? She is indeed stunning, but how can her character be so lacking?"
"Don't you know? That's General Xia's daughter! Now it seems the whole city knows that General Xia's daughter is lying here! Huh? Wasn't she supposed to marry Longhui Prince? How could she do something like this now?"
"General Xia's daughter is known for her loyalty and integrity; who would have thought she could be so dissolute behind closed doors! It seems rumors can't be trusted!"
"Exactly, how can such a dissolute woman still have the nerve to marry Longhui Prince? If it weren't for her mixing with men, Longhui Prince might still be in the dark!"
"If I were General Xia, I would have choked her to death long ago. Why wait until now to bring shame upon our family? What a disgrace!"
...
"However, in my opinion, this Xia Yuhan still has quite a bit of beauty. Just look at her barely clothed appearance, tsk tsk..."
The onlookers pointed and whispered, their voices so loud that Xia Yuhan, who had just woken up in a daze, could hardly comprehend what was happening. Why were these people judging her and speaking such foul words?
From their chatter, she learned that her name was Xia Yuhan and that she was the daughter of General Xia from the capital. Moreover, she was supposed to marry a prince named Long Hui soon.
Logically, it should be a good thing for the daughter of a general to marry a prince; no one would be foolish enough to engage in scandalous behavior with an Adulterer at such a time.
Unless they were deeply in love, which would lead to giving up one's purity!
However, the situation from last night clearly indicated that someone had forcefully taken advantage of her; there was no connection to an Adulterer at all! There was no mention of a deeply loved man! What was even more infuriating was that she didn't even know what the man who had violated her looked like...
At this moment, it was evident that someone had set her up!
As the daughter of a general, how could she possibly end up in such a predicament? The person who framed her must be quite formidable!
Just then, a cold wind blew by, and Xia Yuhan felt very cold. It was then that she noticed her clothes had been torn apart. In the chilly breeze, the crowd could vaguely see the bruises on her snow-white skin and various hickeys. No wonder she was being gawked at and left exposed!
Realizing this, Xia Yuhan shrank back into the Chastity Arch. If she remembered correctly, in ancient times, a Chastity Arch was typically built to honor those who either remained widowed without remarrying or committed suicide to accompany their deceased husbands.
Now that she had been brought to this place while still unmarried, it was clearly a setup—a mockery!
She couldn't remain passive like this!
Seeing Xia Yuhan awake caused some panic among the onlookers; their insults grew louder, and the lewd comments became increasingly unbearable.
"Shut up! What do you know? Just making noise here?"
Xia Yuhan suddenly spoke out sharply, her extraordinary demeanor exuding an unyielding pride. Her beautiful, ethereal eyes lost some softness and gained a bit of determination, reflecting an air that would not tolerate infringement.
The crowd indeed quieted down significantly due to her sharp reprimand. The entrance was surrounded, making it impossible for her to escape. She could only tightly clutch her potentially torn clothing and cautiously walk into the Chastity Arch.
Even so, she was not much better off; the space within the Chastity Arch was narrow, leaving no room to hide. Just then, the fabric of her back suddenly tore with a "creak," exposing her fair back to the gaze of the crowd. The conspicuous scratches and kiss marks were laid bare for all to see.
In fact, among the crowd, someone could no longer contain themselves, swallowing hard and reaching out their hand toward Xia Yuhan...
"Tsk tsk, you still have some charm, huh? Look at that back; it seems like the beauty enjoys being mistreated! Come here, beauty; as long as you agree to come with me, I'll take you home!"
A Playboy, reeking of alcohol, pushed through the crowd and approached Xia Yuhan, his eyes filled with lewdness.
Xia Yuhan merely turned around and shot him a fierce glare. At that moment, she had no way to escape and did not intend to engage with him further.
After being glared at by her, the Playboy did not hold back but instead became more brazen, reaching out to touch Xia Yuhan's back.
Before anyone could gasp in surprise, Xia Yuhan seized the hand of the male Pervert and forcefully threw him to the ground.
"Ouch!" The impact caused the Pervert to grit his teeth in pain.
Xia Yuhan noticed a dagger fall from him and without hesitation picked it up and swiftly drew it out.
A group of lackeys following the Pervert rushed forward in a flurry: "Young Master, Young Master, are you alright?"
Xia Yuhan took a few steps back, brandishing the dagger as she slashed at the red carpet on the ground and quickly wrapped it tightly around herself.
Just as she prepared to leave, she found that the Pervert had no intention of giving up. Covering his injured area, he blocked Xia Yuhan's path: "I didn't expect this delicate girl to be such a fierce woman. Since I'm in a good mood today, I'll take you with me!"
Xia Yuhan looked at him with disgust and finally couldn't hold back, spitting on the ground. "What are you? Get out of my way!"
However, her voice was quickly drowned out by the crowd, but those around her heard it!
The man laughed contemptuously, "Today, I'll show you how powerful I am!"
He was about to make a move on Xia Yuhan, but was she still the fragile Xia Yuhan from before? Was she still the one who had been set up and lost her purity?
No! Not anymore!
Without hesitation, Xia Yuhan grabbed the dagger in her hand and slashed it across the face of the Pervert, sweeping one leg to knock him down to the ground.
Seeing their master humiliated by a lowly woman, those thugs quickly called over a dozen strong men to surround Xia Yuhan tightly.
She glared at them angrily, her eyes fierce as she watched the dozen strong men approach step by step.
At this moment, the Pervert, with a cut on his face from Xia Yuhan's attack, yelled angrily, "Whoever conquers her, I will reward her to them! Hahaha..."
