The Craftsman Chancellor

Ambitious, beautiful craftswoman x smiling, ruthless, uncompromising powerful minister

The beauty flees again and again, while the powerful minister chases her every step of the way.

[High offense x high defense, knows exactly how to flirt x refuses to take the bait]

Yuwen Jia was the last surviving member of a legendary family of craftsmen. When she first met Lu Zhirou, the young man's faint smile seemed no different from a bloodied, gaping maw.

He used the deep sea of vengeance as bait, all to trade information with her.

She was set on a revenge road with no clear destination. Was Lu Zhirou friend or foe?

His father died horribly while serving as chancellor, and he and his widowed mother struggled to carry on. His background was pitiable, but he was a formidable schemer.

Yuwen Jia couldn't escape his grasp.

The imperial capital was a dangerous place. When she was branded a spy for an enemy kingdom, he traveled a thousand miles to win glory for his country, then took her punishment in her place despite his grave injuries.

He certainly knew how to prove his sincerity.

At last, she let down her guard and gave him a chance.

He immediately asked her to marry him, opened the palace gates for her, promised her a fortune, and swore to accompany her to the end of her road to revenge.

The old secrets hidden within the palace were terrifying. Their fathers' murders and their families' destruction were no coincidence. The secrets ran deep and implicated countless people, and the slaughter was immense.

But on their wedding night, their enemies set a trap for them, and they were separated for three years.

Three years later, she had found a husband in the Western Regions, while he had fought his way to success and fortune, becoming a powerful minister who held sway over the court.

“My husband, I was in the wrong back then. May I ask if this marriage contract still stands?”

He bit down on her neck. “If you're going to use me, you'll have to show me some sincerity.”

After three years as a widower, he had a lot of resentment to let out.

Since she had chosen to come back, she couldn't blame him for keeping her captive in his grasp, never to leave him in this life or any other.
