The Grand Secretary's Everyday Devotion to His Wife

Blurb

Before being reborn, Xu Huaijin was kind and mild-mannered. Hiding that she was a woman, she lived quietly in the Ministry of Ancestral Rites, content to spend the rest of her life in peace.

But who could have known that her lifesaving benefactor would be bewitched by a wicked woman and steadily driven toward the throne? The young emperor, enraged, sent troops to surround her benefactor and have him executed beneath the walls of the imperial city.

Unwilling to remain at peace any longer, Xu Huaijin raised the executioner's blade and pointed it at the young emperor, hoping to save her benefactor. But events had already gone too far, and in the end, she could not save him.

After living again, Xu Huaijin returned to the time before her benefactor met the wicked woman. She vowed to expose the woman's true nature, help her benefactor rise to power, and encourage him to keep a low profile and avoid the young emperor's suspicions.

But some things cannot be avoided simply by hiding.

Yi Hechuan gripped Xu Huaijin's chin and locked her in the study. His face cold, he asked in a low voice, "Xu Huaijin! You still haven't seen Li Haoyi for who he really is? He wants me dead! And you still want to make excuses for him!"

Xu Huaijin gripped the candlestick beside her and lowered her eyes to avoid Yi Hechuan's gaze.

Yi Hechuan glanced at the candlestick in her hand and gave a mocking laugh. He pulled Xu Huaijin into his arms and said fiercely, "Even if you like Li Haoyi that much, I still won't let you go! I was the one who saved you! You're destined to be mine!"
