Raising a Sickly, Possessive Prime Minister

One-line summary: A reborn empress takes to the battlefield, rebels to purge the court of corrupt officials, raises an ill-fated military strategist to become her chancellor, and takes him for herself. (Both are each other's first and only.)

Jiang Shan had no grand ambitions in this life. She only wanted to return to the battlefield, protect her family, and look after the brothers who had fought alongside her.

But after she bought a beautiful little slave along the way and made him her strategist because of his talent, everything changed.

In Jiang Shan's eyes, her little slave was beautiful, delicate, and thoughtful.

Meiren: "This slave gets cold when he's alone. Feel my hands, they're freezing."

In everyone else's eyes, the strategist was cunning and ruthless. He was not someone to mess with.

Meiren: "Pull out his tongue. Let's see how he can flirt with my general then."

As the people of Feng Kingdom cursed Meiren as a devastating beauty who led men astray, he put in a little extra effort and got Jiang Shan to rebel for him!

"If you have a matter to report, step forward. Otherwise, court is dismissed."

"This minister has a matter to report." The tall, elegant chancellor stepped forward.

"What is it, my chancellor?" Jiang Shan sat on the imperial throne, gazing down at Meiren in his purple court robes.

"This minister is still unmarried." His enchanting eyes brimmed with grievance as he looked around.
