Jade Tempts the Dragon to Sing

A greedy, crafty little minx × a ruthless, scheming regent

Heroine: 16. Hero: 25.

Both pure | Rival suitors | Powerful man humbled by love | Sweet romance

Yun Shuyao, a sly and spoiled young con artist who loves money and handsome men, just had to provoke Xuan Yuan Lie, the regent who held the court in the palm of his hand.

He was the ruthless, scheming minister feared by everyone, cruel and untouchable, and famously uninterested in women. Yet this audacious little swindler alone awakened his obsessive, unhinged desire to possess her.

After swindling him out of money and affection, she fled with the loot, only to be captured and dragged back by the madman in an instant.

His fingers pinched her chin as murderous fury swirled in his eyes. “Yaoyao, you deceived me. Where do you think you're running?”

She immediately cowered and put on a sweet face. “Spare me, Your Highness! I'll give you all the gold and silver back. Just let me go!”

He leaned in close. “The gold and silver are yours. You belong to me. Yaoyao, run again, and I'll lock you up for the rest of your life!”

She pretended to give in, then tried to escape again, only to run into his sworn enemy, Xiao Jue. In the end, as the two men vied for her, she ran back into his arms.

Bluntly greedy, she declared, “Xuan Yuan Lie, I choose you! Your treasure vault has to be mine!”

His eyes red, he held her tight.

“Yaoyao, forget the treasure vault. Everything I have is yours. If you run away again, I won't go easy on you!”

He put down a rebellion, and the emperor willingly abdicated. After ascending the throne, he made her his only empress and left the imperial harem empty.

She tugged at his imperial robe, pleading and pouting. “Your Majesty, hurry up and open my private treasury. The Gold-Seeking Pavilion has to open branches all over the world!”

He pinched her soft cheek, doting on her without limit.

“My Yaoyao, whatever you want, you shall have. For the rest of your life, you can only be mine.”
