The Foolish Beauty Lies Flat After Being Stolen Away by a Powerful Minister

[Airheaded Beauty x Black-Bellied Powerbroker]

Ever since her sinister stepsister caused her to fall and hit her head, making her even slower to react, Zhu Yunjie began dreaming frequently.

The person in every dream was always the same:

Feng Xu, a young powerbroker staying at her home while he recovered from an injury. He was considerate in every way and handsome as a jade tree in the breeze.

She had spoken with him a few times and thought he was just as others described him: graceful and refined, with a bearing fit for a dragon, the sort of man who inspired love at first sight.

Yet the Feng Xu in her dreams was completely different from the man in reality.

The first time she dreamed of him, he stood atop tens of thousands of corpses, dressed in a disheveled blue robe and covered in blood, a sword in his hand. He was like a bloodthirsty demon, having slain countless enemies.

Later, her dreams changed. She saw him arguing with scholars in court, persuading every last one of them until the entire hall fell silent. At last, the new policies were put into effect.

Later still, she dreamed that he rejected a beauty who threw herself at him in disarray, then cruelly cut off the hand that had touched his body and the nose that had smelled his incense before tossing her out to the dogs.

Every time Zhu Yunjie woke up, she would tremble for no reason. Not from fear, but from excitement!

Feng Xu was just so impressive! With him, she could surely deal with her hateful stepmother and stepsister, her cousins who often helped bully her, and even her male cousin, whose gaze was growing increasingly strange.

But Feng Xu was terribly busy, and seeing him even once was harder than reaching the heavens. So Zhu Yunjie came up with a plan: she wrote down her problems and worries in a little booklet, then slipped it among the official documents he had to handle, asking him to come up with solutions.

Things went just as she hoped. Feng Xu's suggestions worked wonderfully, and she gave everyone who had bullied her a thorough lesson, finally holding her head high at home.

One day, Feng Xu's close friend came to visit. As she watched him, her heart began to race. She realized she had fallen in love with him at first sight.

She racked her brains but couldn't think of a good way to get close to him, so she asked Feng Xu in the booklet once again: How can I make your friend Xie Guanyun fall for me?

That day, Feng Xu had someone summon her to his study. He looked at her with an amused smile.
