I Accidentally Married Up, and Now the Aloof Powerful Minister Won't Let Me Go

[Cold on the outside, ruthless on the inside, a calculating orphan + revenge + power struggles + 1VN + all male leads are virgins]

[The men seem harmonious on the surface, but secretly compete for her affection and claw at each other]

(Please note: The heroine is not an absolute do-gooder. She knows how to read the situation and take advantage of it. If that’s not for you, don’t read.)

After her mother was abused to death by a powerful family, Jiang Chuhe had nowhere to turn for justice. She sold herself to pay for her mother’s burial and was carried into the Cui residence in a sedan chair. After signing a marriage contract, she became the personal maid to the Cui family’s mentally disabled son.

From then on, her face was cold and her heart even colder. If the powerful could treat human lives as worthless, she too could do whatever it took to climb the ladder, until no one could ever step on her again.

The outside world was full of danger, and the Cui residence was a den of wolves. Though she was raised to be the young master’s bride, she was practically under house arrest.

With her wedding to the foolish young master drawing near, Jiang Chuhe vowed to find a way out for herself. She refused to be trapped in the residence, scheming and fighting over this tiny patch of land.

Wait, why is the story going in a strange direction?

The emperor’s trusted aide comes running over as soon as she beckons?

A member of the imperial family insists he’s her old flame?

And why has the foolish young master who’s been by her side for years suddenly stopped being foolish, chasing after her with their marriage contract?

Jiang Chuhe: Hey, wasn’t I supposed to be in a revenge story? How did I become everyone’s dream girl?
