Where Can the Chancellor Run?

[My Spoiled Husband has started updating. Blurb below, please add it to your collection~]

Song Wanjin's birth mother died young, and her father is cold and greedy, focused solely on currying favor with the powerful.

Wang Yiniang, a concubine in the household, used her family's connections to become his second wife.

To establish her authority, she often bullied Song Wanjin, the thorn in her side and bane of her existence.

Song Wanjin appears obedient and gentle, but she's long been hatching a cunning plan.

The current chancellor, Zhu Hesheng, is young, accomplished, and brilliant, with the bearing of an immortal and a face as handsome as jade.

Powerful and influential, he's the perfect person to lean on.

The Chancellor's residence is hosting a banquet. She steels herself with a little wine and slips into the plum garden, the chancellor's favorite. Tipsily, she says, "My lord Chancellor, I hear your household is still in need of a wife. I've admired you for a long time, so today I've come to offer myself. Would you accept?"

Zhu Hesheng's expression shifts, and he says with a hint of disgust, "What audacity. Have you no shame?"

Song Wanjin pats her chest. "If that won't do, I'd be happy to be your concubine. And if the chancellor still finds that difficult, you could keep me in a separate residence as your mistress."

The usually aloof and reserved chancellor slams his hand on the desk and roars, "Get out!"

Song Wanjin gets a little nervous, but she's already thrown caution to the wind, so there's no point holding back now.

The next day, she gets ready and rushes off to stir up trouble again.

As Song Wanjin keeps at it, she never expects that she'll actually make some progress. Looking at the chancellor pinned in a corner by her, she can't help laughing.

"So, noble Chancellor, you've finally met your match~"

Watching Song Wanjin trip and fall, Zhu Hesheng lets out a deep sigh and rubs his forehead. "I've met plenty of clever women, but you're the only one in the whole capital who's this stupid."

---- Upcoming Novel ----

Before meeting Qu Ning, Shen Shuxing was also a notorious young gentleman, skilled at every kind of pleasure. Not only was he blessed with a handsome face, he could also wield a brush and compose poetry. Though he was occasionally a little frivolous, countless women still fell for him.

But even a playboy who's been around the block can take a fall.

Of all the people he could have provoked, he shouldn't have picked Qu Ning, the only daughter of the much-favored General Qu.

During the New Year festivities, Qu Ning brings ninety loads of betrothal gifts and storms into the Shen residence with 108 burly servants wielding long sticks, surrounding Shen Shuxing.

The hand holding Shen Shuxing's bowl of rice trembles slightly. He swallows, tries to look calm, and stammers, "Qu... Qu Ning, you brought so many people... You didn't come all this way just to wish me a happy New Year, did you?"

Qu Ning gives him a sly look and asks with a perfectly serious expression, "Shen Shuxing, are you afraid of pain?"

Shen Shuxing: "Huh?"

Qu Ning: "I've brought the betrothal gifts. You have two choices: marry me with these gifts, or I'll have them beat you half to death, then marry you with these gifts anyway. These people hit hard, but you're tough. Just grit your teeth and you'll be fine."
