The Chief Minister Wants a Proper Title

After a sudden upheaval, the former Minister of Works' household was left with only a widow and her two children. Their mother was bedridden, and their little brother was still young. As the eldest daughter of the household, Jiang Yuqiong had no choice but to shoulder the responsibility. But it wasn't only the relatives on the side branches of the family who were eyeing them hungrily. Even her once-devoted fiancé shut her out. In an instant, the Minister's household was besieged on all sides. Even a delicate flower like Jiang Yuqiong was fair game to anyone. Just as she was struggling to take a step forward, a close friend sent her an invitation to gather at her home. But when Jiang Yuqiong arrived, the only person she saw was the young Grand Secretary she'd always been desperate to avoid. He stood unhurriedly on the steps, seemingly having waited for her for a long time. A little scene: In a room warm with dim candlelight, a woman was forced to lie on the bed, biting her lip, her eyes shimmering. From outside came the sound of her friend calling out for her. She tensed, her back rigid with anxiety and helplessness. The man's long, well-defined fingers rested on her fragrant shoulder as he bent over her. His voice was low and slow: "If you behave and break off your engagement to that man, I will protect your entire household." At the end, with no one else around, he nuzzled her close, fully satisfied yet unhurried: "Come earlier next time."
