After I Played with the Aloof Power Broker, He Went Red-Eyed and Mad

A woman disguised as a man, a devoted couple with no romantic entanglements, an obsessive minister who will stop at nothing, forced possession, and a foolish prince who is actually the heroine in disguise. Everyone says the only prince of the Great Ji Dynasty is useless, and that without Chancellor Xie, the court would have fallen into chaos long ago. But no one knows that, in private, the only Fifth Prince is actually a princess in disguise. And the aloof, ascetic Chancellor Xie, who keeps his distance from women in public, is perfectly willing to become her devoted lover and spend every night in her arms. Wen Shu has loved Xie Yan since childhood. She deliberately got close to him and finally brought him down from his pedestal. But she decides he's nothing special, fakes her death, and goes off to live a carefree life. So why does that noble man come looking for her in person later? “You got what you wanted, and now you want to dump me? Dream on.” He pulls her into his arms like a madman. “Shu'er, if you want it, the whole world can be yours.” [At one point, the hero thinks he has become attracted to men.] A battle of wits and wills. The blurb can't do it justice: the clever heroine and the hero constantly match each other.
