Help! He Loves Her So Much

(Flirtatious beauty and fallen heiress X powerful, devoted Marquis) Everyone knew that the grand Chancellor’s estate had only one legitimate daughter, a sickly young woman whom Chancellor Lu kept tucked away in the rear courtyard like a precious treasure, never letting outsiders disturb her peace. Lu Jintang had thus grown into a cool, aloof beauty, as ethereal as an immortal from the heavens.

But the few who had seen her all said that though the Chancellor’s legitimate daughter was delicate and frail, she was breathtakingly beautiful and alluring. One glance was all it took for her to steal your soul.

Shen Xuhuai, Marquis Zhaoping, was not yet twenty, but he was a close confidant of the emperor and head of the Shen family. When he wielded the emperor’s blade, he acted decisively, killing without hesitation. When he carried out the confiscation of a household’s estate, he was swift and ruthless. Every official at court feared him.

But only he knew the truth: he was just a pitiful man who had lost his heart to Miss Lu and could not have her.

One day, the Yong Chancellor’s estate was confiscated, and the former heiress was forced to flee. At last, he seized his chance, opening his arms to draw his moon tightly into his embrace.

No matter how powerful and capricious Marquis Zhaoping might be, he would cast aside every shred of dignity and beg, “Tangtang, please don’t hate me. I’d give you my life.”
