[Emotional push and pull + Powerful man humbled + Longtime yearning + Sweet romance + The pursuit of a wife after she's lost]
Five years ago, Xiao Jinhua caught Xie Zhiyu using her handkerchief while doing something utterly disgraceful!
Terrified, she fled in a panic, thinking him depraved and utterly vile. She even had her father drive him out of the Xiao family, and they had no contact from then on.
Five years later, the Xiao family falls on hard times. Because her birth chart is said to bring good fortune to her husband, Xiao Jinhua is chosen as a bride to bring good luck and married into the Marquis of Yongning's household in exchange for the safety of her father and brothers.
But the good-luck marriage is no use: her husband is gravely ill, and the Old Madam is determined to make her bear an heir to the main branch and take over the heir's position. She pressures Xiao Jinhua to set her sights on the Second Master Xie.
Xiao Jinhua never imagined that Second Master Xie would be Xie Zhiyu... the young man she had driven away and trampled into the dirt.
In just five years, he has risen to become the Second Master who wields power in the Marquis of Yongning's household, and even the Grand Secretary who holds sway over the entire court, a man who can turn the world upside down with a flick of his hand.
Xiao Jinhua learns every trick for seducing a man, hoping only to have a child. Once the child takes the heir's place, she plans to live out her days in comfort at the marquis's residence.
But Xie Zhiyu never lets her have her way. He uses every means at his disposal, determined to have it all!!
Good writing, vivid writing, subtle portrayal of the characters' inner thoughts, emotions are inherently subtle, and budding original intentions are the easiest to waver. Often some external interference will always make people move in a different direction. This is human nature. The romance also contains the intrigues of the court, the vicissitudes of the world, and the plot has ups and downs. It is indeed rare to find a good article, I hope the author will continue to work hard✊
You can see it right away, it's beautiful
