The Possessive Power-Broker Is Cool in Public and Wild in Private

(Yandere Minister × Sweet Little Temptress | Mature Leads | The Powerful Lowering His Head | Funny Everyday Romance | Happy Ending)

She was the merchant’s daughter best known for cozying up to the powerful in Yujing City.

She ingratiated herself with the powerful, smiling and flattering her way through life. Whenever the noblewomen in the city mentioned her, they spat in disgust.

That night, she crept into the Cui family young master’s bed in the dark. No, she’d climbed into the wrong bed.

She was meant to share a pillow with a Lu, but instead found herself in Cui Yan’s arms.

The moment the lights came on, she thought her time had come.

But the high-and-mighty Eldest Young Master Cui, who had never once spared her a proper glance, merely wiped his fingers and said carelessly:

“Go on.”

Only later did she learn that he’d kept her around simply to see just how low a woman who willingly debased herself could sink.

But she didn’t know this:

Cui Yan had always despised those who fawned on the powerful, yet for the first time in his life, he made an exception for her.

And she knew even less that on the day she was about to leave, this man, usually so coldhearted, stopped her with red-rimmed eyes.

“...Don’t go.”
