Who Says the Second Male Lead Can't Win? [Matriarchy]

Blurb:

While passing through the Western Regions on a military campaign, Bian Yun hears that the region is famed for its beauties and casually flirts with one. The beauty is indeed beautiful, but also rather fierce.

After their flirtation, she swears an oath, but can no longer give her heart to anyone.

Perhaps she should never have pursued that person.

But life is unpredictable. Though she never meant to pursue her, she becomes deeply entangled with her.

In the bonfire's glow on the eve of Eid al-Adha, that person's figure sways beneath a veil of blue gauze, as if stirring the heart that had never once been moved.

That lovely blue silhouette lingers so vividly beside her. With just one glance, she knows she loves her.

A grand happiness ends before it can even begin.

Yin Sha has never been so grateful for her status as a holy son. The cold blue jade brings that warm person to her side. She no longer has to wait in lowly disgrace. She can claim her openly and honorably.

--

"In this life, you owe me. If there is a next life..."

"I'll make you repay me."
