Reborn: I Win the Powerful Minister's Heart with Tears

Reborn, Shen Nian'an only wants to cling to his family's coattails and avoid the tragedy of his previous life.

But at the foot of Hanshan Temple, he slips and tumbles straight into the arms of Xiao Yi, the famously cold-faced chancellor.

This ruthless, merciless powerbroker from the rumors crouches down and offers him a handkerchief. “Come with me.”

To stay alive, Shen Nian'an grits his teeth and starts trying to “win over” this iceberg.

The soup he makes tastes awful, but Xiao Yi drinks every last drop.

When Shen Nian'an takes a frightened step back, Xiao Yi's eyes immediately fill with sorrow.

Only later does Shen Nian'an understand:

The colder Xiao Yi is to the world, the more he cherishes him.

The more ruthless Xiao Yi is to others, the gentler he is with him.

Taking advantage of Xiao Yi's affection, he pouts and throws tantrums, kissing him dozens of times a day.

Xiao Yi accepts every kiss, lets him carry on, and indulges all his “mischief.”

Until one moonlit night, with the moonlight flowing like water, Shen Nian'an gets drunk and lets slip the tragedies of his previous life.

Xiao Yi pulls him into his arms, his voice trembling:

“This time, I won't let you lose anyone ever again.”

It turns out Xiao Yi knew his secret all along.

It turns out that from beginning to end, he had been protecting him in his own way.

One-line summary:

A little crybaby takes advantage of his doting lover, turning the cold-faced chancellor into a hopelessly devoted husband.
