She’s Soft and Sweet, and the Cold Minister Can’t Resist Her

[Beautiful, clear-headed maid VS cold, ruthless, obsessive young lord]

[Unhinged male lead + coercive romance + groveling pursuit + fleeing while pregnant]

After her father was framed and imprisoned, Shen Yan went through great lengths to get herself sold into the Xie household as a servant to the eldest young master.

She trod carefully on thin ice, hoping only to save enough money to buy her freedom.

But she accidentally fell into a trap and provoked the one person she should never have crossed.

At night, Xie Yanli pinned her down on the bed, desire darkening the clear, gentle eyes he wore by day.

“Yanyan, you were the one who came after me first.”

At first, in Xie Yanli's eyes, Shen Yan was merely a maid who warmed his bed and satisfied his needs.

She was beautiful and knew how to please him. Nothing more than a plaything.

But when she faked her death and escaped, he was so distraught that he vomited blood and lay unconscious for three whole days.

Only then did he realize that he desired more than her seductive beauty. He wanted all of her.

She acted sweet and obedient, told lies without end, and was full of schemes, yet he couldn't live without her!

A month later, black-clad riders surrounded the inn. His eyes bloodshot and his whole body seething with fury, he spoke in a trembling, hoarse voice:

“Shen Yan, how dare you... How dare you deceive me!”
