You Want Me as a Concubine? The Mad, Powerful Minister Treats Me Like His Treasure

[A well-behaved heroine + an obsessive male lead + sweet romance + court intrigue + comedy + devoted to each other] Jiang Ruanning transmigrates into the life of a poor girl whose parents have both died. With nowhere else to go, she takes refuge with her maternal relatives, where she and her cousin Shen Jian’an, who is tormented by his stepmother, support each other and grow exceptionally close. She thinks her cousin sees her as family. But on his wedding night, he barges into her room and promises to make her his honored concubine, forbidding her from marrying and leaving the Shen family. Jiang Ruanning is baffled. What in the world is an honored concubine? I think of you as my own brother, and you want me to be your concubine? Ha! You think you can bully an orphan like me? She turns around, marries a poor scholar, and tries to escape the Shen family, only to be persecuted by Shen Jian’an. The cousins become enemies. “Ruanning, I love you. I can’t give you the title of principal wife, but I’d give you my life.” What kind of scumbag line is that? Jiang Ruanning pretends to be obedient while secretly setting her sights on Fu Junzhuo, the powerful official who holds the court in his grip, hoping to use him to stand against the Shen family. She never expected this authority figure to be so unhinged, yet treat her like a precious treasure. So why wait? She’ll marry him! Fu Junzhuo never dreamed that he, the mighty Commander, would be “seduced” by the same woman time and again, only for her to refuse to take responsibility. He’s furious. How can someone with such a sweet, obedient appearance have such a brazen, unconventional heart? And yet, he keeps falling for her, unable to bear seeing her suffer even the slightest wrong. The Commander has to swallow his frustration and rush to clean up after her.
