The Minister's Wife

Shen Liyue was jilted by her childhood sweetheart, the Marquis of Jing'an.

But she had given him her chastity. If anyone found out, she would be caged and drowned.

That very night, she dreamed that a Bodhisattva bestowed holy water on her, saying that if she made Xiao Yuan drink it, he would change his mind.

With nowhere else to turn, Shen Liyue could only give it a try.

But on the night of the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, the man who pinned her down on the narrow couch behind a side hall's screen and drank all the holy water from her body was none other than the emperor himself.
