After Marrying the Tyrannical Chancellor

"Thank you for supporting the official release. Please read the blurb and content warnings before starting. Thank you!"

They say the young Chancellor is full of bloodlust, with blood on his hands, and will kill at the slightest provocation. So though he's handsome, no one dares marry him.

As soon as Ruan Rou came of age, her father "sold" her into the Chancellor's residence, making her the Chancellor's wife, a position no one else would dare accept.

"I heard the Chancellor got drunk last night and killed another person."

"Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites impeached him, then died that very night!"

"And there's more..."

Rumors and gossip reached her ears every day. The young girl trembled constantly, afraid that she might anger him and lose her life.

Luckily, the Chancellor rarely showed his face, but every day she received a little box.

Sometimes it held candied fruit, sometimes a sugar figurine, sometimes a sweet milk cake... They were all things she loved to eat.

Ruan Rou suddenly felt that the Chancellor's residence didn't seem so frightening after all.

Until one day, someone hurried into the kitchen.

"Chancellor, when will you take this to your wife?"

Wen Yan, standing by the stove, neatly placed lotus seed paste cakes in a box, then brushed the flour off his clothes.

"It's her favorite. I'll take it to her myself."

[Bonus Scene]

Wen Yan: "I hear General Liu has just had a daughter."

Ruan Rou: "Oh."

Wen Yan: "Lord Li also has a son and a daughter now."

Ruan Rou: "Mm."

Wen Yan: "Since you think children are so cute, why don't we have one too?"

Ruan Rou: "Huh?"

Trying to trick her into having a baby again?

*The dynasty and setting are fictional, so please don't nitpick. The author is terrible at history, so just assume it's all made up.*

*The heroine is just a young girl. She may not be smart and might even be a little silly early on, but she'll grow as the story progresses. This is also the author's first time writing a sweet, naive heroine. If it bothers you, please close the page and leave. Let's all have a good time~*
