A Treacherous Official's Guide to Self-Preservation

Yun Yan transmigrated into history's most vile and corrupt minister.

Driven by a personal grudge, the minister had married an unfavored princess on the surface, while secretly abusing and tormenting her. When the truth eventually came out, the princess inherited the throne and ordered her to be torn apart by five horses and left exposed in the wilderness.

When Yun Yan opened her eyes, it was her wedding night. She held a long whip, and the proud, noble woman was bound to the bed, her clothes disheveled, her phoenix eyes bloodshot. Her wedding robes and phoenix crown lay scattered across the floor.

Yun Yan froze. She dropped the whip, her legs weak as she untied the woman, then took off her cloak and draped it over her bruised, jade-like body.

Then she turned around and slammed her head against a pillar, spraying blood three feet high.

Yun Yan knew nothing about transmigrating and had no experience with it. But as a modern person, she knew a little about scientific breeding and improving farm tools.

So, to save her own skin, she had no choice but to work diligently as an official, encourage farming and sericulture, and build waterworks. At the same time, she pampered the princess, providing her with fine clothes, delicious food, and precious jewelry.

Even when the princess had certain needs, Yun Yan could only bathe, burn incense, grit her teeth, and do her duty, day after day, until she was exhausted, dizzy, and aching in the wrists.

Day after day, she finally made it to the day the princess was summoned back to the palace and ascended the throne. Yun Yan thought she could return to the modern world, and happily galloped off on horseback.

But halfway there, someone pulled a sack over her head and abducted her. When her vision returned, the woman in her imperial robes leaned over her, hooked a finger under her chin, and looked at her with desire blazing in her eyes and red lips like fire.

"My dear subject, where do you think you're running?"
