A crazy, teasing beauty x a gloomy, ruthless, and deeply wicked minister

Reborn on the day I married at eighteen, I wanted to avoid marrying the fiance who had bullied me to death in my previous life. So I drugged Zheng Yan, the powerful minister of the court, and had him take my virginity an hour before the wedding.

Zheng Yan's first love was the girl next door, three years older than him. Unfortunately, that was my mother.

So I used Zheng Yan without a shred of guilt. I stabbed my fiance to death several times, and because of my mother, Zheng Yan had no choice but to clean up the mess for me.

But Zheng Yan had a bad temper. He punished me, saying, "From now on, you are nothing but a lowly female slave."

I didn't care whether I was a slave or a young lady from a respectable family. But when I found out that Zheng Yan had killed my parents, the only reason I had to keep living after being reborn became this: revenge.

I had nothing, except for a pretty face.

I wanted to use myself as bait, win Zheng Yan's heart, and then kill him.

Zheng Yan was so cold and clearheaded that he saw through every trick I tried, then scolded me harshly: "You have no shame."

His words were cruel, but his eyes stayed fixed on me.

He thought I was a helpless, fragile orphan. In truth, I was a hunter, and the best kind: one who knew how to disguise herself.

He thought I was his prey. In reality, he had already fallen into my trap.

In the end, I schemed until Zheng Yan had nothing left. Everyone turned against him, the whole world condemned him, and finally I sent him to the executioner's block.

·

At first, Zheng Yan protected her because he had no other choice, and naturally hated her.

Later, Zheng Yan gave her his whole heart and loved her, hoping to ease her hatred. So he willingly became one of the forbidden descendants and sank into ruin.

"I only wish for her to live without worry or fear, and to enjoy the rest of her life."

He died without regret.

The main story is told in third person.

Blurb:

Her ex-boyfriend's best friend becomes Lin Qianxun's newest prey.

Beneath the neon lights, she pretends to be drunk and drapes herself over him, whispering sweetly in his ear, "Gu Liangxiao, I'm drunk."

The girl's scorching breath brushes his ear, and Gu Liangxiao feels as if he is standing inside a furnace.

He doesn't dare hold her, only gently steadying her on her feet. He really shouldn't be getting this close to Qianxun. After all, she's his good friend's ex-girlfriend. But when he finds himself unable to stop wanting to get closer to her, once, then again, Gu Liangxiao feels despicable.

Amid the dazzling lights, Lin Qianxun sees his Adam's apple bob and the restraint in his hands. She knows that if she looks up, she'll see the struggle in Gu Liangxiao's eyes.

She's been wild for more than twenty years, and has dated enough men to make up almost two soccer teams. She's never met a man like Gu Liangxiao.

He clearly likes her desperately, yet insists on following his rigid rules of brotherhood. His love surges like a raging sea, yet he insists on suppressing it.

Lin Qianxun loves this side of Gu Liangxiao.

For three years after they met, she changed boyfriends again and again, and Gu Liangxiao congratulated her every time.

Before starting each new relationship, she would tease him with a grin: "Gu Liangxiao, I'm about to be taken again. Is there anything you want to say to me?"

But Gu Liangxiao never said a word.

So they stayed caught in between, never getting closer and never growing apart, with no idea when it would end.

Then Yan Ge appeared, so pure and passionate that he took all of Lin Qianxun's attention for himself. For the first time, Gu Liangxiao got drunk enough to lose control.

"I have something to say!" Gu Liangxiao blocked her at the doorway, unusually forceful.

His handsome face was deathly pale. Qianxun watched him with amusement, waiting for him to continue.

"I..."

"You what?"

Gu Liangxiao's chest rose and fell, but in the end, he couldn't say a word.

Lin Qianxun smiled unconcernedly and turned to leave. But the man, usually as calm as a gentle lake, pinned her against the wall and kissed her hard, his lips lingering over hers.

Theme: Hatred knows no end, and can only be ended by love.
