After Keeping an Actor, the Cool and Upright Courtier Couldn't Keep It Together

When she was young and confined to the Cold Palace, Yang Qianxi met Shao Yanzhi by chance. He gave her a piece of candy, and from then on, she couldn't stop thinking about him.

Yang Qianxi chased after Shao Yanzhi, ignoring everyone who said it was beneath the dignity of the royal family. She fussed over him and looked after him, but Shao Yanzhi was cold by nature and would only say, “I am not worthy of you, Your Highness. Please find someone who can truly cherish you.”

Later, Yang Qianxi gradually seized power until a single thought from her could decide whether someone lived or died.

She wore a gentle smile, but never hesitated to kill behind closed doors.

Her ruthless methods left Shao Yanzhi shaken to the core.

A princess regent was a grave taboo. As a loyal official, he ought to purge the court of her influence and serve his sovereign. But he couldn't control himself: he had fallen for Yang Qianxi.

One day, Shao Yanzhi swallowed down his jealousy and asked Yang Qianxi with a grave expression, “I heard Your Highness brought another actor back from Tingyu Tower.”

Yang Qianxi looked at him with interest. “I did, but you scared him off just now. How are you going to make it up to me?”

Yang Qianxi never stopped loving Shao Yanzhi. But little by little, she discovered that power was even more addictive.
