Sure to Be a Lover (Reborn)

[Add it to your collection, and let your dreams set sail~*]

To escape the mire of Pingkang Ward, Ji Wan hurriedly sought Pei Shu's protection.

Everyone said that Minister Pei Shu was a humble gentleman, as elegant as a verdant bamboo.

Only Ji Wan knew it was all a lie.

This refined, fair, and courteous minister was actually a scheming madman bent on overthrowing the world.

By day, he was impeccably dressed, a picture of dignified restraint.

At night, he stirred up trouble without the slightest restraint, nothing like a gentleman.

What's more, he liked killing people.

Every time he killed someone, he twisted off their head and sent blood spraying through the air.

At times like that, he would smile warmly, though his eyes glinted with viciousness.

In Ji Wan's eyes, Pei Shu would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. That was why he had sent her to the lecherous Censor Xiao.

Just before the ornate sedan chair departed, Pei Shu's gaze darkened.

He suddenly called Ji Wan back and lifted her chin, warning her: "Don't even think about running away on the way there."

His hand tightened, sliding to her delicate, pale neck. He smiled handsomely. "Or I'll crush it with one squeeze."

Ji Wan lowered her eyes.

But she didn't listen to him. She ran.

Unfortunately, she was shot dead with an arrow along the way.

Reborn, Ji Wan returned to the time before Pingkang Ward fell.

This time, she thought, she would avoid that madman Pei Shu at all costs.

Pei Shu had endured hardship and bided his time for years to gain the status and position he had now.

He was decisive and ruthless, and had never fallen for anyone. Yet he stumbled over a woman he should have treated as a pawn to toy with.

"This servant would be glad to ease Minister Pei's troubles by becoming a beauty in Censor Xiao's household." Reborn, Ji Wan spoke softly and sweetly, hoping to escape him.

For a long while, there was no response. Ji Wan looked up in confusion, only to see Pei Shu gritting his teeth.

His fingertip brushed her lips. In a low voice, he said, "There are many ways you can ease my troubles."

His suggestive words drifted along her slender neck, vicious and tearing. "Say another word, and the whole realm will be in mourning."
