The Older the Tea, the Better the Flavor: The Ruthless, Wild Chancellor Is So Sensual

[A wily, glamorous older woman, political and household power struggles, a scheming younger man who aggressively flirts, slow-burn romance, hilarious wish-fulfillment]

Her husband and sons had all died in battle. Her youngest son's body had not yet grown cold, and she was left with a widowed mother and a daughter. Overwhelmed with grief, she vomited blood and fainted.

When she awoke, she had become Huo Nanyi, an all-around interstellar God of War. From the start, she was bestowed in marriage to Pei Mingchen, a ruthless prime minister with immense power!

An imperial marriage decree?

Married to... Pei Mingchen, the current prime minister?

Her pupils contracted. Even the calm, rational mind of an interstellar commander was shaken in that moment.

For a woman her age in this era, was it appropriate to marry again?

But the current emperor's move was truly despicable. This had nothing to do with caring for the bereaved.

In terms of age, she was already a forty-year-old widow. She had been widowed for years, her sons were dead and her daughter was young. Remarrying under such circumstances was already considered improper by society, let alone marrying into the prime minister's powerful household.

It was presented as an act of compassion, a generous reward, but in truth it was a beautifully crafted shackle.

When they first met, Pei Mingchen was attacked by assassins and happened to cross paths with Huo Nanyi, who was returning to the capital under imperial orders.

She saved him from the assassins, and Pei Mingchen thought she was spirited and heroic.

But when they spoke, she pretended they didn't know each other, making Huo Nanyi think he was a playboy.

The next time they met, Huo Nanyi acted like a sweet, innocent woman, a wily flirt who seduced Pei Mingchen in her room until his whole body went weak.

The next time, she argued brilliantly against a crowd, fighting decisively on the battlefield and commanding the situation with ease, never once giving ground despite being outnumbered.
