After Breaking Off the Engagement, She Became the Powerful Minister's Cherished One

She ended her engagement in a scorched-earth act, taking everything down with her.

But she never expected to attract his attention.

When she was alone and helpless, the man took her into his household.

She smiled calmly.

“I suppose I did once. But I don't anymore.”
