[Cool, sharp-tongued minister VS resilient little flower]
In her previous life, Shen Yueli was tricked by her stepmother and had her engagement to the Crown Prince broken off. She was later married to a crude man, fell gravely ill, and lived out a miserable life.
Reborn, she’s grown smarter. She takes on her stepmother, beats down her half-brother, and makes life miserable for her half-sister, not missing a thing.
At a palace banquet, she even takes the initiative to break off her engagement to the Crown Prince.
But just after breaking off the engagement, she gets her comeuppance.
After being drugged, she accidentally spends the night with a man. She grits her teeth and decides to keep it a secret at all costs.
But just as she emerges from behind a rockery, her clothes disheveled, she turns and runs straight into a swath of snowy-white robes.
Beneath the moonlight, a man as eerie as a ghost approaches. He bends down and whispers in her ear, “Shen Yueli, do you know that the sounds you just made were…”
Shen Yueli panics. With no other choice, she grabs the man’s sleeve and begs him not to tell anyone.
Little does she know that this is the worst decision she could have made…
People in the capital begin to notice that Lord Xie, a first-rank minister and commander of the Eastern Depot, has been acting strangely. Hasn’t he been spending rather a lot of time with Miss Shen?
As they watch him draw closer and closer, looking as if he could devour her, someone finally warns him, “Lord Xie, don’t forget that Miss Shen is the Crown Prince’s fiancée!”
Hearing this, the man curls his lips into a mocking smile. “So what? She hasn’t entered the Crown Prince’s residence yet, has she?”
