The Minister's Wife Is Radiant and Alluring

1.

The heir of the Prince of Zhenbei is handsome, refined, and graceful. Everyone says Luan Ning is lucky to have such a good marriage.

As his consort, Luan Ning is lovely and alluring, but after a year of marriage with no child, her mother-in-law constantly makes things difficult for her.

Only she knows the truth: her husband is impotent.

With no other choice, Luan Ning sets her sights on her husband's elder half-brother.

A man as noble as jade, bright and peerless, yet low in status and easy for her to control.

That night, tears streaming down her face, she leans against the man's knees, her soft, boneless hand sliding upward.

"Brother, please be gentle with me."

The man's lips curl slightly, his eyes deep as an abyss.

"Your husband is right outside," he says, his cool face bearing a faint smile. "Do you think he'll hear us?"

2.

Luan Ning expects to end this arrangement and get away soon.

But the cool, aloof man is powerfully built, and he keeps taking her through the night, only stopping at the third watch.

After she becomes pregnant, she leaves him money and has her husband send him off to the northwest.

Half a year later, the emperor dies. She enters the palace with her husband to pay respects to the new emperor.

And there she sees...

The man who should have been in the northwest is now wearing the imperial robes, gazing at her with a knowing smile.

But when he sees her pregnant belly, his eyes turn bloodshot, and he crushes the wine cup in his hand.

Frightened, she spills wine on herself and is led to a side hall to change.

As soon as she steps inside...

A large hand covers her slightly rounded belly. Before her stands the lover she hasn't seen in six months.

"Your husband is right outside," the emperor says, his voice edged with resentment and teasing. "Do you think he'll hear us?"
