A Dream of Huizhou on a Pillow (Reborn)

[After Marriage, Then Love] [Sweet and Adoring] [Dual Rebirth]

When Yin Mei first arrived in the capital, she had a terrible nightmare.

In the dream, the Crown Prince took a fancy to her. The sinister and cruel prince treated her like a plaything, and she could no longer bear the humiliation, so she took her own life.

As she watched the dream come true piece by piece, Yin Mei fought with all her might to save herself.

At a spring banquet, her brother set a trap and offered her to the Crown Prince.

Yin Mei remembered that many powerful nobles would be there, including the Grand Secretary and Prince Rui.

Though Grand Secretary Shen Yunshu was a newly risen power in the court, rumors said he was ruthless and had no interest in women. She could hardly count on him.

Prince Rui was gentle and courteous, and treated people with generosity. He seemed like a good choice.

Yin Mei had finally managed to find Prince Rui when the effects of a drug suddenly took hold. By a stroke of bad luck, she stumbled into someone's arms.

He had the poise of a pine and the grace of a crane, and was quite tall. With one hand, he restrained her as firmly as iron chains. "Miss, something seems amiss with you. Do you need help?"

"Th-thank you, sir. You truly are a kind man."

"..."

When she woke, she saw the powerful Shen Yunshu, then at the height of his influence in court, lying beside her. Her eyes reddened with tears. "This isn't the kind of help I meant..."

Wasn't he supposed to have no interest in women?

The newly appointed Grand Secretary Shen Yunshu wielded power with ease in the political arena. Deeply calculating, he was feared by everyone, yet no one knew how to win his favor or what he liked.

No one knew that he had been reborn.

He still remembered his previous life. The Crown Prince had invited him to his residence to admire a "beautiful sight." There, he saw the beauty from the Yin family, with her fair skin and stunning looks, chained to a bed made of gold. Her body was covered in bloody marks, and her eyes were lifeless.

By the time he finally killed the Crown Prince and seized power, he heard that she had taken her own life in the Eastern Palace, her life cut short.

In this life, he cared nothing for etiquette or propriety. He wove a vast net around her, waiting only for her to fall into his trap.

Scheming, deceptively ruthless yet devoted Grand Secretary X soft, adorable, slightly oblivious beauty with a fierce will to survive
