Breaking Spring: The Powerful Minister's Handbook for Taming Her Husband

Local leads + sweet romance + healing marriage + thriving in both the frontier and the capital

Jiang Wanyin takes her cousin’s place and marries Lu Shiyuan, the cold-faced Commander whose name is enough to stop children crying at night.

Before the wedding, everyone laments that such a beauty is doomed to die young, certain she’ll meet her end at the hands of that madman.

After the wedding, though, Jiang Wanyin turns her life into a poem.

Lu Shiyuan has always hated delicate, pampered noblewomen. At first, he declares, “Don’t even think of climbing into my bed. I have no need for a woman.”

Jiang Wanyin is delighted to have the freedom. Every day, she audits the books, counts the money, and takes on the worst troublemakers, keeping the marquis’s household in perfect order.

But little by little, the cold-blooded, proud Lord of Death changes.

When he sees Jiang Wanyin smile at another man, he gets so jealous he can’t eat for days. If she suffers even the slightest injustice, he’ll draw his sword and demand answers from the emperor.

He drops all his defenses and pretenses, giving her all his tenderness and possessiveness.

“Wanyin, I was mired in the muck, but you pulled me out and showed me the beauty of spring in this world.”

In a nutshell: How a high-EQ noblewoman turns a lone wolf into a loyal puppy.
