The Powerful Minister Can't Control Himself! The Fallen Princess Is Irresistible

[Possessive pursuit + groveling redemption + mutual firsts]

Everyone said that Fu Jiuxiao, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, was refined and aloof, like snow on a pine or the moon behind clouds.

But only Jiang Lingzhi knew how mad he was beneath the surface, mad enough to destroy the world.

The day her kingdom fell, she should have been forced into a life as a military brothel girl. Instead, he cut down a hundred men with one sword and took her to his private estate.

She thanked him for saving her life, but he gripped her chin and smiled with elegant civility. “A princess of noble birth is perfectly suited to be my bedchamber maid.”

To protect her young brother, she endured the humiliation and submitted to him, held in his arms night after night as he murmured, “Be a good girl and serve as my medicinal catalyst. I’ll make sure you survive.”

Later, on his birthday, she seized her chance and fled with her brother to the city gates. Freedom was within reach.

On a rainy night, the man stood there with a lantern in his hand, his eyes bloodshot. “I’m not yet powerful enough to rule the world, and you’re already eager to put horns on me?”

He tore her hopes to shreds with his own hands and dragged her back to her gilded cage.

A year later, she was living under an assumed name and arranging to marry someone in a small town.

On the night the red wedding silks were hung, black-armored guards surrounded the wedding hall.

Fu Jiuxiao approached with an umbrella, his thumb brushing her lips. His voice was as gentle as a breeze from hell.

“The princess is getting married again. Why didn’t you invite me to celebrate?”
