The King Who Played Househusband - Episode 3

Late at night Esme faces divorce papers: someone says, “I’ve signed them,” and offers lifelong money if Edgar signs, but Edgar replies, “I will, once time is up,” refusing to act now. Friends gloat and warn Esme that her first love, Jack Blaze, has returned, urging her to leave Edgar, while rivals from the Cheat Sect plot to rig tomorrow’s game to seize the Dixons’ empire. At home servants berate Esme and blame her late father for the marriage. The episode closes with the countdown accelerating—from three days to two—leaving the rigged game and Esme’s decision unresolved.
