[Mad, aloof power-wielding minister × clear-eyed, self-serving concubine]
Duke Su, Song Henian, held power over the court and never showed interest in women.
The one time he made an exception, he kept a mistress.
After using him, she fled while he was in danger.
When they met again, she stood beside his nephew and timidly called him “Uncle.”
His nephew knelt before him. “Uncle, I will marry no one but her.”
Song Henian didn’t look at his nephew. He watched the woman trembling from head to toe.
She’d run away so resolutely back then. Now she finally knew how to be afraid.
That night, he pushed open her door and locked it behind him.
“You used to call me your husband. Why so formal now?”
