A Beautiful Woman Seeks to Marry: She Avoids Powerful Ministers and Falls into the Arms of the King.

Shen Tang is the most destitute legitimate daughter in the uncle's house. Her mother died young and her stepmother was mean. She knows very well that in this cannibalistic family, without a backer, her end will be to be randomly assigned to any widower to fill the house. So she put on the most gorgeous dress and went to every banquet, patiently waiting for the one who could turn her around to be caught. She calculated the hearts and minds, weighed the pros and cons, and screened all the dignitaries of the right age in the capital, but she was most afraid of Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan had a face like cold jade and eyes like cold pools. Just standing there would send chills down one's spine. Every time Shen Tang met his eyes that seemed to see through everything, she instinctively wanted to run away. She knew that this man was too dangerous and she couldn't afford to offend him. … Xiao Yan watched with cold eyes, watching her deal with everyone, deliberately clinging to others, and making a living everywhere. He looked down upon her utilitarian calculations, but he also knew that she was helpless and vulnerable to protect herself. Until a banquet, the noble ladies teamed up to make things difficult for her. She endured the punishment and lay drunk in the pavilion. In her hazy sleep, she mistakenly recognized the cold and powerful minister as an old friend, and took the initiative to wrap her arms around his neck, feeling soft and intimate, and her breath was hot.
