[Coercive Possession, Powerful Minister x Subordinate's Wife]
Three months into her marriage, her husband is implicated in a rebellion case and thrown in prison to await trial.
Ye Manyuan stays by his side and does everything she can to help him.
But who could have guessed that, to save himself, her husband would turn around and send her straight into the powerful minister's hands?
She was the eldest legitimate daughter of the Vice Minister of Justice, peerlessly beautiful and once honored by the emperor while still unmarried.
She married the utterly ordinary Xu Zhishan, and didn't care that her mother-in-law was difficult or her brother-in-law had designs on her.
All she cared about was Xu Zhishan himself. He was gentle and dutiful, cherished her, and was devoted to her.
But it turned out it had all been an act.
That night, the powerful minister looked down at her, his voice hoarse.
"I've been waiting for you a long time."

Duke Pei Ji of Zhenguo was a rough man who had clawed his way up from the bottom of the military ranks. Cold-faced, ruthless, and hard-hearted, he was feared by everyone in court and beyond.
He had no family and no weaknesses. So when, for the first time, he gave his subordinate's wife a second look, someone immediately understood what he meant.
After nightfall, she was delivered into his hands.
The knot he'd carried in his heart for years was finally undone.
"We were once betrothed, weren't we, my lady? Don't you remember?"
*
Before long, all charges against Xu Zhishan were dropped. The moment he was released, he received a letter of divorce from Ye Manyuan.
It was what he'd expected. Though Xu Zhishan felt reluctant and wistful, he comforted himself with the thought that he had now secured a connection to the Duke of Zhenguo, and a bright official career was just around the corner. A great man could always find another wife.
But little by little, Xu Zhishan realized just how much he missed the little wife he'd once had.
He went back to find her and crawled to the entrance of her inner chamber, separated from it by a folding screen, begging her to take him back.
No one answered from inside. Only hurried breathing could be heard faintly.
Xu Zhishan quietly raised his head.
On the screen, the shadows were a tangled mess.

That night, in the emperor's bedchamber, the curtains are warm and the air is thick with springtime passion.

Why isn't he dead? Wasn't she supposed to become empress dowager at twenty and enjoy a life of freedom?

"A Yao, don't move..."

Pre-collection of the article "Looking for the Emperor's Love" [Taking force and plundering, also known as "The Tyrant Chasing His Wife in a Waistcoat"] A prosperous family in Xijing has been wearing hairpins for generations. Now there are two cabinet ministers in one family, and he is a well-deserved leader of the scholarly community. As the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, Sheng Hongyuan got engaged to the Crown Prince of Wu while peeing. Her life of stability and wealth had come to an end early. Until one day, the city of Xijing was destroyed. Hongyuan's father and brother were strong-willed and would rather die than draft edicts for the new dynasty. When her father and brother were imprisoned and the Holy Order entered the palace, Hongyuan thought that the Dog Emperor wanted to kill her nine clans, but unexpectedly, it was actually an edict to make her his queen. The jackal on the Jinluan Palace looked at her from a distance, curling his lips and sneering, "I can rob you of you, but you still want to escape?" Hong Yuan could not escape for the time being, so she entered the palace in tears for the sake of the Sheng family. The jackal probably wanted to humiliate her, but he never showed her face after the marriage. On the contrary, Hong Yuan was happy and happy to be at peace. He had been in the palace for three months and had no idea what his husband looked like. One night, she sneaked out of the palace, intending to visit her ex-fiancé who had been imprisoned for a long time, but she met a guard on the way. The guard stopped her politely and said, "Whatever message your Majesty wishes to convey, I will handle it on your behalf." Hongyuan felt that he had met a good person. She asked the guards to deliver a message to the Sheng family, "Your Majesty is cruel and does not allow my family to enter the palace to see me. Sir, you are kind-hearted, please help me." She asked the guards to bring a snack from outside the palace, "Your Majesty is cruel, and the imperial kitchen bullies me and shows no favor. I can only rely on you, sir." The guards were gentle and polite, and obeyed her requests. Hong Yuan's gratitude gradually turned into a heartbeat for this obedient and good-looking man. She ordered her guards to set fire to help her escape from the palace, "Your Majesty is cruel, what should I do if one day he thinks of taking my life? You help me, and I will marry you." The guards were willing to take risks and did everything for her, and the two of them escaped from the palace smoothly. The mountains are high and the sea is vast, making me feel uncomfortable, but Hong Yuan found that the guard seemed to have changed him. After nightfall, he is cruel, greedy, and demanding. Hongyuan shivered. Every morning, he woke up with tears. Only then did she realize that she had escaped from the wolf's den and entered the tiger's den. She whimpered, "I really misjudged you." His eyes darkened, and he smiled coldly, "You are from a scholarly family, a noble girl, but my queen wants to have an adulterer with her husband and wander around the world. I misjudged you." But there was something he didn't say. With a million troops sent to Xijing, he immediately reached the top of the country. There is a girl in the Sheng family who is famous all over the world, and he conquers the world all because of her.
Not bad, the writing is okay,
Looks great, why are there so few comments? Damn it
I like the little emperor, my ignorant first love, and hope that he and his queen will be harmonious and beautiful. The young emperor and his wife are the most precious.
What kind of serious illness does this family have? If it gets messed up, the whole family will be ruined?
No one commented. It's so well written, it's the best and most straightforward article I've read recently.
