Shen Ningzhen endured for sixteen years to survive, until her stepmother wanted to marry her to a notorious dandy in the city.
In despair, she turned her attention to the powerful, cold-blooded young chief minister - Han Yanchen.
During an "accidental encounter", she deliberately left behind an old belonging of her mother.
The second time they "met", she wet her clothes and temples in the rainy alley where he must pass.
Three times...
At first, Han Yanchen just watched this clumsy and deliberate trick with cold eyes.
Even when she "happened" to appear again, she indifferently reminded: "Miss Shen, your veil is too poor in acting."
Shen Ningzhen's cheeks were hot, but she stubbornly met his scrutinizing gaze: "Master Chief Assistant, how did you know that... This is not a willing person taking the bait?"
Later, when the Jinluan Palace was arguing over the New Deal, the first thing he did when he left was to take a detour to the west of the city just to buy a pack of halva she had mentioned.
Later, he blocked her in the study, his breath was hot, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Who taught you to tease people like this?"
At that time, Shen Ningzhen had quietly grasped the bargaining chip for a comeback without him noticing.
Intention: In a desperate situation, she turns love into the sharpest sword, stabbing at the seemingly invulnerable peak of power. She thought it was a desperate gamble, but little did she know that she had already quietly become the chess player when the hunter was staring at his prey.
