Gao Yuchen knew she probably wouldn't be able to bear a son legitimately in this lifetime. She wanted to adopt an heir for the Duke's residence, so that one day, when she retired from public life and laid down her armor, she could leave in peace.
She thought she was adopting a sweet, obedient little rabbit. Who could have guessed that beneath his respectful
exterior lurked a vicious wolf?

Gao Heng had tasted the bitterness that came with power, so naturally he wanted to climb to the top and experience what it was like to command the clouds and rain. But he couldn't understand how someone could be so good to him without ever asking for anything in return. In all his past experience, that made no sense, even if they shared the faintest trace of blood ties.
If such a good thing existed in this world, then he couldn't be blamed for taking advantage of it. He wanted the benefits, and he wanted the person, too. Once he'd made up his mind, it didn't matter whether his uncle was a man or a woman. All that mattered was that it was her.
