The Powerful Minister's Beloved

Lu Jinrong is the second legitimate daughter of the Earl of Kang'an. Her birth mother died young, her father favors the legitimate eldest son from his first wife, and her stepmother has a pair of biological twins. The only ones she can rely on are herself and her older sister, Lu Jinyue.

The daughters of the Lu family are born to be bargaining chips in marriage alliances, paving the way for their fathers and brothers. Lu Jinrong is no exception. She was betrothed to the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an as a child and married him after coming of age.

Her older sister becomes pregnant, and her brother-in-law refuses to accept the concubine forced on him. The pair are both bullied by his mother, so they send a servant to fetch help.

Lu Jinrong storms straight into the other family's home and turns it upside down. Her fierce reputation spreads throughout the capital.

Terrified of this home-wrecker, the Marquis of Wu'an's household hurriedly calls off the engagement.

They run into each other at a restaurant. The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an says, "You're so jealous and possessive, you'll never find a husband in this life! Why not beg me to give you the position of secondary wife?"

Lu Jinrong smiles faintly. "People say that if you marry, you should marry Song Yulang. Do you measure up?"

The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an says, "Song Yulang has no interest in women."

Someone pushes open half a window and smiles gently. "When Rongniang and I marry, I will be sure to send an invitation to the Marquis of Wu'an's household!"

Lu Jinrong is shocked and confused: "???"

The heir of the Marquis of Wu'an is horrified: "!!!"

Song Yulang! Weren't you supposed to have no interest in women?

Song Fan, courtesy name Ziyu, is as handsome as Pan An and virtuous as jade. People call him "Song Yulang."

In his previous life, Song Fan spent his whole life as a powerful minister, carefully tutoring the young emperor and returning power to him in good time. In the end, his family was destroyed, and his grave was dug up and his corpse whipped after his death.

The late emperor entrusted his heir to me? The people and the realm? Who cares!

Now, all he wants is to steal the heir of the Marquis of Wu'an's fiancée and win her heart.

She is the one who weathered half a lifetime of storms with him, yet was never his.

A certain prince is so anxious he jumps up and down. "Teacher, don't! The emperor has let you down. Look at me! I'll be your student, half a son to you!"

Song Fan's face darkens. "My wife hasn't even agreed to marry me yet, and you're already eyeing my daughter. Are you even human?"
