A Delicate Beauty, A Cold and Powerful Minister Willingly Bows to Her

[Sweet but cunning airhead beauty x cold, sinister powerful official]

By imperial decree, Lu Mingyuan is to marry the dark and perverse Prince Ming. Still in the prime of her youth, she refuses to be mistreated, and in a moment of impulsiveness, decides to seduce Lord Xie, the powerful Commander who rules the court.

Bad news: she fails.

Worse news: he makes fun of her.

Fine, she’ll come clean and drop the act. Lu Mingyuan makes “I want us to be a pair of wicked lovers” her life’s goal. She clumsily tries to seduce him, adorably inept at flirting. If Lord Xie won’t agree, that’s fine. There’s also the young marquis, the heir apparent, the junior minister of the Court of Judicial Review... There are so many handsome, powerful young men in the capital. Surely one of them will say yes.

But late at night, Lord Xie, so ruthless and cold to everyone else, slips into her bedroom and pins her in a corner. Emotion swirls in his pale eyes.

“Didn’t you say your heart belonged only to me?”

“Yuan’er, you’ve been naughty.”

“Those men seduced you, didn’t they?”

“You want an obedient dog? Then I’ll be your dog.”
