The Road Back to the Capital

Reborn, Qi Chaoge refused a political marriage. The first thing she thought of when she opened her eyes was how to flirt with Lord Lu. With each successive attempt, Lord Lu fell further under her spell, going from maintaining the proper distance between ruler and subject to losing all self-control.

Lu Jiuhuai, a righteous official in the Court of Judicial Review, had never involved himself in the princes' struggles for power. But for Qi Chaoge, he willingly entered the political maelstrom, all so he could gain enough power to protect her.
