Climbing the Ranks! The Aloof Prime Minister Is So in Love

[A 190-cm, devastatingly handsome, mad-boned, jade-faced Grand Chancellor VS a beautiful young wife] [Multiple male supporting characters] [Romantic tension] [Devoted pampering]

Yin Ling gave up everything she had and traded her beauty for a bride price, marrying into the Xu family to pay for her gravely ill mother's treatment.

She thought she had found a way to survive. Little did she know she had walked into hell.

A chance encounter brought the two of them together.

Seizing an opportunity to climb the social ladder, Yin Ling knelt for an entire day and night. By good fortune, she was admitted to the Marquis of Zhao's residence. Kneeling by his feet, she wept pitifully: "My lord, please have mercy on me."

Later, when the truth came to light, Yuwen Yuan gave her a cool smile. "She's just a woman."

But before long, he would eat his words.

He said, "Your heart, your body, everything you have, was nurtured by me. You can belong to no one but me, Yuwen Yuan."

Her husband, who commanded the troops guarding the palace: "How can the Grand Chancellor disregard the bonds of human decency!"

Yuwen Yuan, with his elegant looks and madman's core, replied: "Then the Left Palace Commandant should present her to me with both hands, to prove his loyalty."

The foreign Prince of Jing offered Yin Ling another way out, promising to take her far away to a foreign land, where she could escape the predatory Xu household and live free from the constraints of Central Plains propriety.

Fictional setting...

Both leads are sexually pure, okay?
