Yun Huan was sent to the Duke’s manor to bring good fortune and provide an heir.
But her husband was a sickly man, barely clinging to life and unable to consummate the marriage.
Without a child, she was certain to die once her husband passed away.
So she took a desperate gamble and found a poor scholar who bore some resemblance to her husband, asking him to father a child.
Everything went smoothly. She gave birth to twins and took charge of the Duke’s household.
But five years later, that poor scholar she had asked to father her child had transformed into the Duke’s legitimate son, long lost to the family.
After Shen Qingbai became a powerful and influential minister, he sought her out to avenge the humiliation he had suffered back then.
He pressed her at every turn, but Yun Huan stubbornly insisted they barely knew each other.
Only when he finally lost patience and no longer cared to play along did a pair of adorable children grab his legs and plead with him.
The twins looked just like him!
A very nice book!
