[Scheming, black-hearted wet nurse × young heir who goes mad for her × one woman, many rivals in a battlefield of desire × plenty of younger men]
[After her family is wiped out, she becomes the wet nurse to her enemy's son.]
Yu Minglian was born to an official's family. After Duke Wei framed her, her family was destroyed overnight, and she became a pawn in the princes' struggle for the throne.
To avenge her family, she ruthlessly leaves behind her recently weaned daughter, infiltrates the Duke's mansion, and becomes the wet nurse to her enemy's young son.
The young master lost his mother when he was little. He regards her as his closest family, depends on her completely, and falls obsessively in love with her.
She raises and trains him with the utmost care, turning him into the sharpest blade to strike at Duke Wei.
Her frail husband struggles to raise their daughter alone, his deep affection impossible to repay;
the Duke's eldest son repeatedly makes advances toward her;
the Fifth Prince, from the deposed Crown Prince's faction, secretly supports her;
and the young heir she raised grows ever more obsessive in his gaze.
This is not a strong female lead or an empowering heroine story. Readers who aren't comfortable with an age gap should proceed with caution.
