My Ex Became Prime Minister

[Completed]

[The author's latest completed novel, When the Empress Lost Her Memory, is fresh and ready to read]

Rekindled romance + mutual pining

After Wen Jing returned, Ren Yao resolved to treat him only as a brother and never cross that line again.

Unexpectedly, after three years of exile in the northern frontier, Wen Jing had now risen to become chancellor, and was no longer the gentle, modest young gentleman he once was.

He held all the power in his hands and wielded it with ruthless, vicious resolve. Once, in a single night, he ordered the homes of over a hundred nobles in Chang'an searched and seized, his merciless decisiveness enough to make anyone tremble.

Ren Yao felt guilty, and a little afraid.

Because if they were to honestly talk about the absurd affair between them back then, it seemed that... she had been the one to seduce Wen Jing and then abandon him.

A little scene

Wen Jing gazed at Ren Yao with deep affection and asked gently, "A Yao, would you marry me?"

Ren Yao stared at him blankly and said nothing.

Wen Jing tenderly brushed the loose strands from her temples and said softly, "If you don't want to speak, you can answer with a nod or a shake of your head. Nod if you agree, shake your head if you don't. It's entirely up to you. I won't force you."

Ren Yao gritted her back teeth and glanced from the corner of her eye at the sword resting against her neck...

He wouldn't force her... He wasn't forcing her. He was only holding a sword to her throat...

Could she really shake her head? The blade gleamed coldly, pressed firmly against the side of her neck. If she shook her head, wouldn't it slice her neck in two...?

Up next: The Noble Consort Keeps Trying to Kill Me

Chu Yu, daughter of a powerful traitor, was sent into the palace and made a noble consort. She was destined to throw the court into chaos and pave the way for her father.

She thought that between her and Emperor Xiao Yi, there was nothing but false affection and playacting.

Until Chu Yu's father fell from power, Xiao Yi took full control of the throne, and the Chu family fell into ruin overnight. She became the daughter of a convicted official, and with her standing on the verge of falling from the heights, she could only plan her escape while pretending to dote on Xiao Yi to keep him off guard.

She thought everything would go as she wished and she would regain her freedom. Who knew Xiao Yi would toss the bundle she had tried to smuggle out of the palace, stuffed with silver ingots, down in front of her and say calmly, "When did I ever say I would let you leave?"

She thought it was all an act, but the person playing the role had quietly fallen in love.

Xiao Yi: I've made up my mind. The Chu family can fall, but I won't kick them while they're down. As long as you stay in the palace and be my noble consort, in three or five years I'll make you empress.

Chu Yu: ?? I've been seriously fighting you for three years, and now you come out with this?
