The Empress Dowager's Husband Is a Minister

Please bookmark my new novel, “I’m the Villainous Heiress in a 1990s Period Novel”!

“Does the chancellor want my life, or my heart?”

Everyone at court knew that the Empress Dowager and the chancellor were mortal enemies. Few knew that many years ago, they had secretly pledged themselves to each other in a bamboo grove. He had promised that once he passed the imperial exams, he would marry her in a grand sedan chair. In the end, he passed the exams and became the top scholar, just as he’d hoped. But she entered the palace and became empress.

Two years passed in a flash. The late emperor died, and she became the youngest empress dowager in the history of the Southern Kingdom. The newly enthroned emperor appointed him chancellor.

When they met again, she stood high above him, while he bowed as he always had.

“Your humble servant Du Jue pays his respects to the Empress Dowager.”

He was born into humble circumstances. He should never have dreamed of winning the heart of a marquis’s daughter like her.

But he did more than dream. He did what lovers everywhere did, because he was certain she was the wife fate had destined for him. Yet she turned around and left him behind to enter the palace.

From empress to empress dowager, she grew farther and farther from him, yet kept insisting that she loved him.

“Your Majesty’s favor is more than your humble servant deserves.”

The leads are passionately at odds, and the heroine is a black lotus.

This is an alternate setting, so please don’t fact-check it. Thanks!

My new novel, “I’m the Villainous Heiress in a 1990s Period Novel,” is updating daily ₍^˶- ˕ -˵^₎

[The future tycoon she ruined once, who now wants to ruin her with his own hands]

[The villainous heiress desperately trying to get in close with the big shot from the period novel]

[The young lady gives in to both sweet talk and hardball, so why can’t he handle her?]

[They’re enemies, so of course they have to get all tangled up]

Qin Yue woke up one day to find she had transmigrated.

The good news: She had transmigrated into her favorite period novel.

The bad news: Her character was the wicked young lady who had tormented the male lead mercilessly.

She looked down at the male lead, forced to kneel before her and covered in whip marks, and asked timidly,

“Can’t we... make peace...?”

Make peace? In her dreams.

Her family in the book was guilty of countless crimes.

Her father, her brother, and she herself were all headed for terrible endings.

To stay alive, she grabbed her refined scoundrel of a father with one hand and her mad-dog brother with the other.

“Hey, family, can we start being good people today?”

Gu Jingyan noticed that Qin Yue had changed.

She stopped causing trouble for him and even secretly helped him.

He had no idea what trick she was up to this time, but he would never let anyone from the Qin family off.

Especially Qin Yue.

Once he rose to power, he would make sure her family was destroyed.

“Gu Jingyan, can you stop hating me?”

“No.”

“Fine. You’re charming even when you hate me.”

“...Qin Yue, are you trying to get yourself killed?”

At karaoke, his eyes red, he pinned her down.

“Qin Yue, what the hell did you drug me with?”

If she told him it was vitamins, would he believe her? ˃ ˄ ˂̥̥

Years later, he became President Gu, a man feared throughout the business world.

“I wish the Qin family could see you begging me like this.”

“President Gu... Can you stop using such a tired line?”

“Shut up!”

As he spoke, he pressed his lips hard against hers...

He looked down at her flushed cheeks.

“When I’m done playing with you, I’ll throw you...”

“Throw me where?”

Oh, she found out soon enough.

“President Gu, your bathtub is pretty big.”

“Qin Yue, can you for once just shut up?”

They’re each other’s first love. Light, sweet, and satisfying. The star-crossed hatred is just the leads’ foreplay (ᐡ⦁⩊⦁⸝⸝ᐡ )₊୭
