Possessing Her Beauty

[Possessive Pursuit] [Old-School Groveling Redemption]

[Disguised-as-a-Man, Delicate Prime Minister] [Ruthless, Cunning Regent]

Ming Shu was born into a prominent family in Jiangnan. When her older brother fell gravely ill and could not travel to the capital to take up the post of prime minister, their entire family was slaughtered by an old enemy.

Given a second life, Ming Shu has no choice but to disguise herself as a man, take her brother's place as prime minister, and help the eight-year-old emperor govern the country.

The court is in turmoil, especially under the watchful eye of Prince Qin, who sits high above the rest. Sharp and ruthless, he sees everything.

Probing, suspicion, and constant clashes.

Ming Shu spends every day on edge, treading carefully under his gaze, until she accidentally enters Prince Qin's bedchamber and they spend one reckless night together.

Taking in the delicate, peach-blossom beauty before him, Xiao Si toys with her chin, a strange glint hidden in his phoenix eyes.

"I never imagined our esteemed prime minister was such a sweet little girl."

To save her own life, Ming Shu sets aside her pride and begs him to keep her secret. In exchange, Xiao Si demands that she marry him and become his pawn in the struggle for power.

From then on, by day she is the dignified, noble prime minister in everyone's eyes, while by night she is the mysterious Princess Qin everyone whispers about.

Under Xiao Si's tutelage, she learns to review memorials and navigate the world with finesse. From a naive young girl, she gradually establishes herself at court and develops feelings for him that she should never have had.

But Xiao Si uses her, humiliates her, and torments her. After climbing step by step to the position of regent, he keeps her imprisoned at his side, indulging himself with her day and night.

By then, her brother has recovered. Heartbroken, Ming Shu fakes her death and switches identities with him, returning to her old home in Jiangnan to live an ordinary life.

When Xiao Si hears that Princess Qin is dead, his eyes suddenly redden and he spits out a mouthful of blood. Only then does he realize that he has long since fallen too deep.

Later, in the springtime splendor of Jiangnan's waterways, Xiao Si sees a figure that looks just like the person in his dreams.

But another man is already by her side, and she offers Xiao Si nothing more than a polite smile.

"Ming Shu is only a commoner. How could she possibly know someone as noble as the regent?"

[Sweet Groveling Redemption]

Wen Shutong repeatedly ruined Wei Xiao's plans. Wei Xiao dreamed of strangling that woman.

One day, he stormed into the Wen residence to settle the score. But the woman who usually had a vicious tongue only blinked her innocent almond eyes and held out some freshly made pastries. "Husband, you're home."

Wei Xiao: ?

After losing her memory, Wen Shutong mistook Wei Xiao for her husband. Overnight, she became sweet and clingy.

At first, Wei Xiao thought she was up to some new trick. Later, he realized she really couldn't remember anything.

So the man gave a wicked smile. "Fine. You've lost your memory and fallen into my hands, have you?"

Later, Wen Shutong regained her memory. Thinking back on how she'd served that bastard tea, washed his feet and clothes, praised his broad shoulders and narrow waist in bed, and clung to him night after night to do those things, she snapped her hairpin in two.

He's. A. Dead. Man.
