Title: After the Substitute Marriage, I Became the Powerful Minister’s Cherished Darling
Synopsis:
Yan Hui was reborn, returning to the night before her stepmother forced bitter medicine down her throat and tied her up in the ancestral hall.
In her previous life, she was the “discarded pawn” sent to marry into the Jing’an Marquis’s estate in place of her stepsister, Yan Mingzhu. Not only was the salt-mine map in her dowry stolen, but she was also ground to dust. In this life, she smiled as she carried a cup of poisoned wine into the bridal sedan.
Yet on her wedding day, Rong Heng, the Duke of Fuguo, whose power reached across the imperial court, stopped the bridal sedan. Pinching the reversible embroidered handkerchief where she had hidden her secret, he brushed his fingertips over the whip mark still healing on her neck and demanded coldly, “How will you repay the blood debt of Chensha Valley?”
Yan Hui looked up, frost and snow laced with poison in her eyes. “With the lives of the Xie family and Lou Che.”
She had planned to enter the game through a substitute marriage and tear her enemies apart, never expecting to deliver herself into an even more dangerous cage.
Rong Heng wanted her to be a chess piece, but she was determined to be the hand moving the pieces.
When the truth came to light, he turned out to be the mastermind behind the slaughter of her entire family all those years ago. Yan Hui smiled and forced the poisoned wine down his throat. “Duke of Fuguo, I offer you this nuptial cup.”
This time, she would have her revenge, and make the entire realm hers as a dowry.
