Unusual Peace

[Female Chancellor Heroine x Devoted Doglike Hero]

Li Shurong holds high office and great power. She is the only woman to have served as chancellor since the dynasty was founded. Strict in upholding the law and dedicated to pleading the people's case, she is deeply beloved by the people.

The only time she ever made an exception was when she freed Yan Ning from his status as a slave.

She admired the ruthlessness in his eyes, so she brought him into her residence and ordered its tutor to teach him martial arts and calligraphy.

But the first person this vicious dog bit was her.

Yan Ning turned around and became a disciple of her rival. When the rival showed off to her, Li Shurong only sneered and remarked, "That's a fierce dog that knows how to bite, but it betrays its master. It can't be trusted with important work."

Yan Ning was standing just outside the door, but Li Shurong didn't care. So what if he heard her?

Later, the new emperor ascended the throne and, wary of her power, had her household confiscated and sent her into exile on charges of treason. To prevent her from rising again, her enemies arranged to have her sold to a neighboring kingdom along the way.

Meanwhile, Yan Ning was steadily climbing the ranks and was at the height of his success.

Li Shurong thought she wouldn't run into anyone she knew for years. But as the old woman raised her whip to strike, Yan Ning stepped in front of her.

Li Shurong hadn't expected him to follow her to a foreign kingdom. She gave him a cold smile. "Are you here for revenge?"

Yan Ning simply unlocked the chains around her and took her to see a doctor.

For the first time, Li Shurong cursed him out and told him to get lost. This time, Yan Ning didn't stay silent. Looking at her, he said, "I'm a dog that knows how to bite."

Li Shurong's gaze turned cold. Yan Ning said earnestly, "But I would never betray my master."

Li Shurong saved Yan Ning on a whim, but he quietly fell in love with her. To Yan Ning, however, Li Shurong was like a god, someone too sacred to profane. He fought with all his might to grow stronger, hoping that one day he would be worthy of standing by her side.
