Shi Yu, also known as Shi Yunqi, holds the position of Grand Marshal and wields power over the entire court.

He's a ruthless figure feared even by the emperor.

Five years ago, at the deathbed request of an elder in his family,

he married the daughter of the Le family and set a five-year term.

In those five years, he never once saw her.

He would simply wait until the term was over, then divorce her,

after which their paths would never cross again.

What he never expected was that

the woman he met for the first time, dead drunk,

would so easily set his heart aflutter.

Content warnings:

1. An alternate setting, partly inspired by the Han dynasty, with a chaotic era needed for the story of aiding the throne.

2. The heroine is beautiful, with some over-the-top descriptions. She's neither stupid nor a saint.

3. This isn't a wish-fulfillment story. The everyday pacing is slow, so proceed with caution.

4. The hero loves the heroine without question.

5. There are no golden fingers to speak of. Everything relies on wit.

[Reborn Empress × Resentful, Long-Suffering Minister]

The Xian family was framed for treason and the entire family was executed. Only Xian Zhiyuan narrowly escaped.

She originally intended to clear her family's name, but after learning the cruel truth, she chose to endure the humiliation. She raised an army and seized the throne in a single stroke.

The first thing she did after becoming emperor was slaughter all her enemies, sparing only Luo Qingwu, the man she had once loved.

She hated herself for being so blind.

Using his mother's life to threaten him, she imprisoned him in the throne hall and humiliated him in every way she could.

Wasn't he so proud of his scholarly virtue and integrity? Then she would strip away his dignity and make him a laughingstock across the land!

But he died before her.

Looking at his broken, lifeless body, she said nothing. She turned around and ordered five cities slaughtered, finally provoking public outrage.

Empress Qingzhao was abandoned by all and eventually met her end at an assassin's hand.

Fate played a cruel trick on her, allowing her to be reborn at the age of seventeen.

Looking back on her life, she had avenged her family, but walked alone in misery and pain. Given another life, she would stop everything from happening and change her family's tragic fate!

When she met Luo Qingwu again, she kept her distance after making use of him, with no time to get entangled with him again. Who could have guessed that he, so long-suffering and restrained, would start closing in on her at every turn, relentlessly clinging to her?

*

Luo Qingwu loved Xian Zhiyuan, but she seemed unaware of it.

When he saw the Xian family fall into danger, he racked his brains and even risked his own future, determined to help her through it.

But she suddenly turned cold, avoiding him as if he were a plague. The closer he got, the farther away she ran.

He always thought she was too burdened by family matters to care about love, until he saw her laughing and chatting with another man. Unable to hold back any longer, he cornered her against a wall and demanded with red-rimmed eyes, "Why did you abandon me? I'm still useful. I can do so many things."

*

He could accept her using him and deceiving him, but not her failing to love him.

Since she can't bear to see the weak being humiliated, he can just keep pretending to be weak.
