The Phoenix Defies the Heavens: The Powerful Minister Keeps Overstepping His Bounds

Yun Qingqian is the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo’s household, but after her birth mother died young, she was demoted to a concubine-born daughter. She hid her talents for fifteen years, asking only to live in peace. Then, on a rainy night, Xiao Jue, the Regent who held the court in the palm of his hand, came to her door.

“Work with me, or die.”

He helped her reclaim her status as the legitimate daughter; she stirred up the court on his behalf.

Everyone called the Regent cold and ruthless, but they didn’t know he climbed over her wall and into her bedroom night after night.

“Qianqian, how are you planning to use me today?”

As the mystery of her birth was unraveled and the sincerity behind his political schemes came to light, the two sank ever deeper into the whirlpool of imperial power and love.

“Xiao Jue, what if I want the whole realm?”

“Then I’ll win it for you.”
