Shen Huaishu was reborn.
In her previous life, she lived as lowly as dust, enduring every slight and giving way at every turn just to please her parents. In return, she got her mother’s disgust, her sister’s betrayal, and her fiancé’s callousness.
Her own family poisoned her to death, then left her body in the wilderness without a burial.
Only that notorious wastrel, Qin Xiao, gathered her remains for burial.
Given another life, she would never again be a soft touch for others to trample!
Reborn on the day she was to marry in someone else’s place, she exposed her mother’s hypocrisy, her sister’s malice, and her fiancé’s coldness in front of everyone. Then she pointed at someone with her slender hand.
“I choose him!”
The crowd erupted!
Qin Xiao was Jiangcheng’s foremost wastrel, infamous for his vile reputation. He excelled at drinking, gambling, womanizing, and debauchery, angered his grandmother to death, harassed his younger aunt, disregarded all propriety, and squandered his family fortune. Everyone avoided the scoundrel.
Choose him? She might as well throw herself off a cliff!
But Shen Huaishu knew that this so-called good-for-nothing in everyone’s eyes was a blade hidden in its sheath.
And she would personally hone him into the most dazzling powerbroker in the realm!
Later...
Qin Xiao came first in the palace examination, rose through the ranks, and eventually became a powerful chancellor.
Everyone who had once mocked her for being “blind” ended up kneeling at her feet.
“My lady, I owe everything I am today to your guidance.” He took her hand, smiling with both tenderness and danger.
Shen Huaishu raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Then how does the Grand Secretary plan to thank me?”
Qin Xiao chuckled and pressed her against the desk. “Would offering myself to you be enough?”
She tamed the wildest wolf, and the wolf gladly bowed to her command.
