Gorgeous beauty × max-strength young monk (The neighboring novel, Marrying the Disabled Heir to Bring Him Good Fortune, is currently updating. If you're interested, cute readers, go check it out~)
Before meeting Helan Shen, Pei Min only wanted to cling to Empress Wu's powerful protection. In her spare time, she'd debate the scholars and show off her schemes, striving to go further and further down the path of a corrupt official in the Tang dynasty.
Nine out of ten officials would spit and say whenever she came up: "This woman is part of the empress's faction, and has no regard for the law!"
Pei Min herself replied, "Pah!"
Someone advised her, "Secretary Pei, it doesn't matter who you offend, but don't ever offend Helan Shen. He's the terrifying enforcer the emperor sent to keep you in line!"
Remembering the handsome young monk whose headwrap she'd removed and whom she'd pinned down that night, Pei Min replied lazily, "A little late for that warning. I've not only offended him, I've taken liberties with him. No matter how formidable he is, he's still just a young man. What's the big deal?"
Until one day, she yawned as she went out to welcome her new superior, only to find him strangely familiar... Wasn't he the handsome monk whose headwrap she'd taken off and whom she'd teased?!
Helan Shen received an urgent appointment and left the Buddhist clergy for the imperial court. Before taking charge of the Pure Lotus Bureau, he'd always thought Secretary Pei was all pretty face, with no backbone or integrity, and universally disliked.
But he never expected that she had once been a dashing young woman, full of passion and courage. Even after her rise to power was cut short, her eyes remained bright and bold.
"Little monk, do you think there's a star in the heavens shining just for me?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes." He gazed at her and answered firmly.
"An unruly minister who bows to just one person."
She didn't know that someone was willing to give up his devotion to Buddhism, grow his hair long, and surrender himself at her feet.
A gorgeous, carefree heroine who picks a fight with anyone who challenges her and never takes a loss × a composed, reserved former monk who always takes her side.

Reader's guide
1. Historical romance. The woman is two years older than the man. A romance wrapped in an officialdom story.
2. Set in the Tang dynasty, but you can ignore the historical backdrop. It's largely fictionalized, and everything serves the romance. History buffs, beware. Logic is dead, so don't scrutinize the history!
3. The male lead is handsome and powerful, but the female lead is even more beautiful and powerful. Expect a beautiful, strong, and sweet romance.
Next novel: Marrying the Disabled Heir to Bring Him Good Fortune
A mistaken diagnosis of the imperial consort implicated more than ten physicians from the Imperial Medical Bureau. To save her father, who was the chief physician, Ming Wan volunteered, packed her things, and tearfully married the heir of Marquis Xuanping:
Wen Zhi, an eighteen-year-old, gloomy young man who had lost his family on the battlefield and his legs.
He was sensitive and fragile, gloomy and distant, bristling with cold, sharp barbs. Every word he spoke was like a knife, and he wouldn't stop until he had left himself and everyone else covered in wounds. He was like a foul stone that would never warm up.
But even the gentlest and most cheerful person eventually runs out of patience. Ming Wan thought, "Who cares? I'm done trying to warm up this foul stone!"
She resolved to leave and give them both their freedom.
But then came a crash behind her as the wooden chair toppled. Wen Zhi fell awkwardly to the ground. His legs wouldn't move, but one hand reached desperately forward as if trying to grab something. He said fiercely, "If you dare leave, then when I catch you someday, I'll make sure you never know a moment's peace!"
Ming Wan turned back and looked into his bloodshot eyes. After a long while, she said softly, "If you want to bring me back, you'll first have to get those legs working and walk up to me yourself, one step at a time."
Five years later, Ming Wan stood in the rain with her "son" as the youngest chief minister in the dynasty walked toward her, steady and slow, holding an umbrella...
Ming Wan shut her eyes, trembling.
She knew her good days might be over.
P.S. The male lead has a terrible temper early on, but he loves the female lead deeply. A groveling pursuit of his wife, no major angst, and mostly sweetness, sweetness, sweetness (whispered).

Sahua, I like the female protagonist the most, followed by the male protagonist, the senior sister, female protagonist, brother, and the second male lead. They are also great. What is rare is that the characters of this book are consistent from beginning to end. I stand up.
Love this article! Finished reading it in one sitting!
It's been a long time since I've seen such a good novel. I'll continue to catch up on the next one...
You really can't buy it for five yuan and suffer a loss?
The ending is rushed, but it doesn't affect viewing
Good-looking, good-looking! ! ! ! Sisters go and see
I hope that the male protagonist can go back to the time when he first met the female protagonist and reverse the fate of the female protagonist.
It looks good. It would be better if it were longer.
I followed this book from Disabled Persimmon Chongxi, but I found this one to be more interesting. I really like this young couple. They are both alone, living alone in the world, hugging each other for warmth, and piecing together a complete family. I hope that Min'er will be in better health, have another baby with Master Helan, and live happily for a long time...
