After Marrying Into the Family of a Mad Minister

Xu Yunqian was a concubine-born daughter of the family. When she was little, she caught smallpox, and her stepmother cast her and her mother, a concubine, aside in a remote village to fend for themselves.

But Yunqian grew into a strikingly beautiful, alluring young woman, and the main household set its sights on her early.

When the legitimate eldest daughter ran away from her wedding, the family feared offending the powerful man who had been betrothed to her. So they dragged Yunqian away from the village, where she had been about to marry her childhood sweetheart, and hastily bundled her into the bridal sedan.

Yunqian cried all the way, but her stepmother still held the lives of her mother and little brother in her hands.

She had heard that the powerful man was cold and ruthless, and could not tolerate the slightest flaw...

Though resentful and terrified, Yunqian had no choice but to put away her grief, assume her stepsister's identity, and serve him with utmost care.

After Yunqian married into the Lu family, no one, from her parents-in-law and husband down to her sister-in-law and young niece, ever treated her kindly.

Even though she worked diligently, serving her demanding, critical in-laws and young relatives by day, and satisfying her insatiable husband after dark...

Yunqian had had enough of this life.

She was supposed to spend her life happily with the young man who lived next door, her childhood companion.

Yunqian waited and waited until her childhood sweetheart returned home in glory, wielding great power, and came to find her.

That night, her heart racing with excitement, Yunqian eagerly wrote the truth into a divorce agreement, preparing to leave. But before she could finish, a cold embroidered spring saber suddenly pressed down on the paper.

His towering figure advanced on her step by step. Remembering how ruthless he could be, Yunqian's legs gave way, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

The man swiftly began unfastening his austere flying-fish uniform. His eyes brimmed with fury as he glared at her through clenched teeth.

"Trying to run off to your lover again!"

"Xu Yunqian, do you think I'm dead?"

Lu Xun had served in the Northern Garrison Command for years, interrogating prisoners and torturing them for confessions. His hands were stained with blood almost every day.

He had never considered himself the sort of man to lose his reason over a woman's beauty. But the moment he saw Xu Yunqian, even knowing she wasn't his wife, he still took her in the most despicable way.

Just like the blood on his hands, once it stains you, it can never be washed away.
