The Mad Power Minister Oversteps His Place and Knocks on Her Door Night After Night

(There is no palace or household scheming. I can't get the tags changed. This is a sweet romance!!)

[Gentle beauty & unhinged powerful official]

[Raising him + faking her death + coercive love]

In a ruined temple amid wind and snow, Ling Yanru was barely clinging to life when a kind couple found him and brought him home.

Ling Yanru fell for Su Wanqing at first sight.

But she was his benefactor's wife.

Gratitude was a cage, yet love had already taken root in his heart, growing into an all-consuming obsession.

Later, when his benefactor died, he finally got what he wanted.

Su Wanqing never knew that the timid young man of the past would become a powerful minister who held the court in his grip.

Nor could she have known that one day she would be imprisoned in a residence, entangled with him day and night.

“Before he died, my benefactor told me to take good care of you.”

“I thought it over, and the only way not to disobey my master's dying wish is to marry you.”

“Ling Yanru! You're ignoring all rules and decency!”

“Rules? Then who's going to spare a thought for me? The person I love married someone else long ago. Am I not allowed to be pitied?!”
