Then every part of it comes true, one by one: the marquis’s estate is confiscated, her family is exiled and scattered, and she herself is sent by the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Eunuch to the entertainment bureau. But the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old Eunuch she encounters turns out to be someone else entirely. She jolts awake. Using both soft and hard tactics, she gets close to the treacherous minister. Nestled against Xie Xingyan’s chest, she traces circles with her fingertips and pouts coyly. “Governor, I want the entire Fei family~” The man’s Adam’s apple bobbed. “Done.” Fei Ran wept and begged for forgiveness as Sheng Zhichun smiled serenely, the long sword in her hand already stained with blood… - At their first meeting, Xie Xingyan merely took an extra glance at her lovely willow-shaped eyes. At their second meeting, Xie Xingyan was enchanted by her graceful dance, light as a startled swan. At their next meeting, Xie Xingyan smiled in anticipation. What would the little girl do this time? Then one day, Xie Xingyan took her out of the entertainment bureau and sheltered her at his side. His usually cold eyes brimmed with indulgent affection… He said, “I knew she had ulterior motives for approaching me, yet I was still perfectly willing.” Everything before was as good as dead yesterday; everything from now on is as if born today! * Theme: I am a woman, but I have never been weak. I will make glory bow before me. Content warning: This is not a power-fantasy story about an overpowered heroine!
