Two Powerful Leads | Evenly Matched | Intense Push and Pull | The Powerful One Falls Madly in Love
When she first entered the palace, she concealed her sharp edges and pretended to meekly accept everything.
She never expected the emperor of the Great Yan to be a cut-sleeve, and for him to send the eunuch known as the "Living Yama" to her...
That man had influence everywhere and immense power. He was a powerful minister, and His Majesty's beloved.
She had never been a good person. In public, she acted delicate and wept easily; in private, she was ruthless, killing traitors with a single hairpin.
"Pei Lu, can you be a useful blade?"
"Unfortunately, I am a madman."
He had never met a woman so ruthless.
To secure his help, she even threatened him with her own life.
Knowing he must not fall for her, he still let her find his weakness and sank deeper with every step.
He saw through every move she made, yet willingly became her pawn.
"This servant is ruthless and has countless enemies. Your Highness, are you prepared to join me in my crimes?"
"Join you in your crimes? I call it an even match."
He wielded every political trick and offered countless false displays of affection.
Yet his true heart fell into the hands of this ruthless woman.
*
She never knew why the powerful minister at the very pinnacle of power protected and saved her.
Until he said, "You shouldn't have met that kind of ending."
In her previous life, she died a horrible death.
It wasn't love at first sight, nor was he moved by her methods.
It was because he had loved her across two lifetimes.
Her death was where his love began.
The powerful minister who stood above all but The Outcast knelt before the Buddha with the utmost devotion.
He made the cruelest wish.
"I am willing to give up everything in exchange for her peace and happiness in this life."
He had never had a heart, yet for her, he gave up all his power.
It's great. I've never seen this kind of plot before. I like it😍
