The Cruel, Treacherous Official's Darling

Lu Yan had been dreaming a lot lately. In his dreams, a woman wept, with skin as white as snow and a figure like carved jade. Four or five red birthmarks trailed down her body to her ankles... He found it annoying.

When Po Jun returned, he saw a woman standing with his useless older brother in the main room. She looked back at him, the red mole by her ear breathtakingly beautiful.

She timidly called him, "Uncle."

In her previous life, Cheng Wu married the heir to the Duke's estate. He died in battle, and she met a tragic end.

In this life, she wanted a divorce more than anything, but she was powerless to make it happen and needed help. As luck would have it, the true power behind the Duke's estate had returned. Seeing how handsome, gentle, and harmless he looked, she decided to try to get on his good side.

She clumsily sewed him a fur collar.

After blowing up the kitchen twice, she brought him a bowl of soup, covered in soot.

When Lu Yan was covered in blood, she cleaned and bandaged his wounds.

When others cursed him, she gritted her teeth and stood in front of him...

After all that effort, the man still wasn't moved in the slightest???

Lu Yan wielded power over the court. Born wicked, he seemed gracious and refined on the surface, but was really a cold-blooded monster without a shred of feeling. He knew nothing of love and was mired in a quagmire...

But one day, when his nominal sister-in-law tenderly wiped the blood from his hand, her moist eyes fixed intently on him. Her face became one with the woman from his dreams.

No one knew that he'd developed a mad obsession with his sister-in-law.

At first, Cheng Wu was only pretending, but later she truly came to care for him. Then one day, as she brought him some pastries, she overheard that Lu Yan had already given his heart to someone, who also had a red mole behind her ear...

Only then did she understand: she was nothing but a substitute.

At last, after getting the divorce papers, Cheng Wu smiled and patted Lu Yan on the shoulder, sincerely thanking him. "If you ever need help, just ask. I should get going and find my next husband now~"

Before she'd even finished speaking, she reached out, and the man suddenly seized her hand. His gentle smile fractured bit by bit, revealing a sinister, twisted expression.

He pressed a dagger into Cheng Wu's hand, his voice low and crazed. "Sister-in-law, who are you going to find? If you don't love me, how about we die together..."
