[A stunning marquise’s daughter who plans every move vs. a proud, powerful minister who bows his head for her]
[Sweet romance + conceiving a child by another man + reunion after years apart + rekindled love + revenge]
In her previous life, Liu Yuwan married into the Marquis’s household. Her husband was cruel and impotent, tormenting her day after day. After he died, her clan dragged her off to be buried alive with him because she had borne no children.
Reborn into a new life, she takes a dangerous gamble to escape the same fate: she finds a man and asks him to father her child.
After one passionate night, she finally sees his face clearly, and her blood runs cold.
It is the impoverished scholar she rejected six years ago.
But the penniless scholar of the past has become the most powerful chancellor in the land. By rank, he is also her husband’s uncle in name.
Liu Yuwan deliberately keeps her distance, wanting nothing to do with him. But Pei Jiyuan pursues her relentlessly, refusing to let her go.
She tells him not to get out of line, but he insists on doing exactly that.
Just then, word spreads that her marriage contract with her nominal husband is a fake. The agreement that trapped her was a fraud fabricated by the Marquis’s household from beginning to end. The government registry shows that she has never been married.
Unconcerned by everyone’s stares, Pei Jiyuan declares without hesitation, “My nephew was not fortunate enough to have her. The Marquis’s household still owes the Liu family a marriage alliance. In that case, let me marry her instead.”
Liu Yuwan’s fortunes transform, and she becomes Pei Jiyuan’s lawful wife.

On their wedding night, the red candles flicker.
Six years of longing surge in the man’s eyes as he forcefully corners her in a space barely wide enough for the two of them. The clear gaze he wears by day darkens with desire. “Wanwan, you were the one who tempted me first. Don’t even think about running!”
Though he is a powerful minister, he is a devoted servant at her feet alone.
