A Treacherous Love

Eight years ago, he was an aimless young master from a prominent family. All he wanted in this life was to be a little street vendor, selling candied hawthorns and osmanthus cakes. That way, the woman he loved would look at him and drool... Years later, he placed first in the imperial examinations and rose to the highest ranks of office, but his hands were stained with blood. To clear the name of the woman he loved, he brought down corrupt ministers, only to become an even greater villain himself. He could only watch the woman he loved and drool. How could the name of a corrupt minister possibly suit her peerless beauty? × × × × × × Some say Shen Qingsheng is the backbone of Great Zhou. Others say he is a corrupt minister who holds the whole court in his grasp. Only Lu Juanshu knows the truth. He isn't a corrupt minister. He's a devoted hound. Both leads are virgins. Angst first, then sweetness. It's really a sweet childhood-friends romance. The blurb is written from the male lead's perspective, but most of the story is told from the female lead's perspective. Lots of romance, little court intrigue. A cheesy, silly story. If that's not your thing, don't read. The setting is fictional, and the official ranks are all over the place. Please don't compare or nitpick the historical details.
