Coming soon: The Minister's Wife. See the blurb below and the pinned comment. Feel free to take a look if you're interested~
After her family's company went bankrupt, Jiang Sheng's mother was summoned by the court on charges of financial crimes and faced prison time.
Some people laughed at her and suggested she go beg Liu Yu, to see if she might offer her a way out.
Jiang Sheng begged everyone she could. At last, she found an opportunity to appear outside Liu Yu's room.
Liu Yu didn't look at her, but as she entered, she grabbed Jiang Sheng by the wrist and dragged her inside.
From then on, Jiang Sheng was no longer a promising young painter or the fiancee of the genius painter Chen Shifan. She became the unspeakable woman at Liu Yu's side.
*
During their three-year arrangement, she tried her best to play the perfect kept woman, never discussing love with Liu Yu.
Yet on countless heavy, ambiguous nights, when Jiang Sheng's nails raked restlessly down her back, Liu Yu would sometimes lose control, gripping her waist and demanding that she say she loved her.
*
They met again at an art exhibition, where Liu Yu already had a beauty by her side.
The gallery buzzed with activity, but in a secluded room, Liu Yu blocked Jiang Sheng's way out.
"You were the one who started this." Usually composed and self-controlled, Liu Yu pinned her hard against the wall, raised her leg, and bit her lip until it bled. In a voice full of resentment and coldness, she said, "Take it."
And yet beneath all that hatred, it was as if she had said "I love you" countless times.
Reader's guide:

The Minister's Wife
At the victory banquet, Jiang Ling often felt the emperor's deep gaze upon her.
She worried so much that she couldn't sleep, but her wife said she was imagining things. How could the noble and righteous emperor ever overstep his bounds and gaze at his subject's wife?
That was, until the emperor caught Jiang Ling by the ankle beneath her skirt in the rock garden and covered her mouth.
*
On the day Zhang Qingyun returned to the capital after successfully negotiating with the Kingdom of Qing, Zhou Xiangyi was so pleased that she asked what reward Zhang wanted.
Zhang Qingyun lowered her head with a smile and said that all she wanted was to spend more time with her wife now that she was back.
Zhou Xiangyi had heard about her wife, said to be a sickly beauty who needed constant care.
When a subject made a request, the emperor naturally had no reason to refuse.
During the autumn hunt, Zhou Xiangyi shot down a white horse, startling a woman until she burst into tears.
The woman covered her face as she cried. When she looked up, Zhou Xiangyi saw a tiny red mole at the corner of her eye, giving her a tender, affectionate look.
At the victory banquet, the woman's restrained manner around Zhang Qingyun could not hide their intimacy.
Zhou Xiangyi sat at the head of the table, her gaze indifferent.
What a pity that it had to be the wife of her own right-hand woman.

So what?
Theme: Pursuing freedom and independence
I like it very much, and I have never been in the habit of writing reviews. It has been almost half a month since I read this book, but I like it so much that I can't help but come back and write.
It's rare to see an article that includes the gold master/canary in the setting, which can naturally and delicately depict the canary's sense of humiliation and the trance when she realizes that she has fallen. This is a small detail that I like very much. Too many articles just borrow the shell of a setting and lightly describe the money transaction contract. The humiliation and humiliation of the inferior person in the relationship was lightly touched on. When he found out that he fell in love with the nominal sponsor, he seemed to have no burden, or he wrote a few symbolic words of inner condemnation, and it was even sweeter after they got together. How could the unequal relationship in the past be so easily erased? .
Liu Yu's portrayal is also very good. It can be said that he is the most impressive "capitalist" in all the articles I have seen. I really like this character so much. He is sharp and cold enough, and his methods are cruel enough. There are so many times in the article that it seems that the next second will make people shake. The confrontation of power makes people fear for Liu Yu, but at the same time, they can't help but think, "But this is Liu Yu, she can definitely do it." (Here I praise the author's previous foreshadowing and portrayal of Liu Yu). Sure enough, Liu Yu has overcome all the small twists and turns or the chasm.
In addition, the author has revealed the "bloody" label of his article several times in the introduction (even the title of the article is so old-fashioned, haha), but except for the kidnapping and rescue at the end, the sense of déjà vu is not really "bloody" (the fight between wealthy families may also be considered a part of the "bloody" category? But jj now the protagonist is always a rich lady, so I think this is okay). In fact, if it were set as a common scenario where heroine A met heroine B when she was a child, fell in love at first sight, and agreed to it when he asked for a favor, I would feel stupid. So this is my favorite article, and it is also the reason why I like the character Liu Yu - there is no such thing as first meeting when I was young. It's just that I fell in love with your paintings before I met you and didn't know you existed in the world. I saw my soul, so I knew your name. What's even more valuable is that ordinary gossips may have started "I want to know her information within three minutes" and started to rob her, but Liu Yu didn't. She just carefully treasured the painting of her soul until she met her soul painter by various coincidences.
Therefore, the shortcomings of the article are negligible. For example, the two of them have obviously reached the point where they can talk to each other, because some plots always give readers a sense of suffocation, "What if you two breathed in advance?" Haha, but then again - this is an all-female article! It's not all girls with facial makeup, but you can really feel the character of each female character in the text through the text. Except for the pure evil final boss, everyone has a complicated face. People who seem kind can also be calculating, and people who seem vicious can also have weaknesses (again, praise the author's writing skills).
Finally, maybe this kind of article title is easier to get clicks? But I always feel that it is not worthy of the quality of this article haha. For example, I originally wanted to read it as a brainless financial author, but I didn't expect it to be so surprising.
Chen Shifan should have someone who loves her
Can you please update the happy life of this family of three? They are so happy 🙏
Babies, this extra chapter talks about getting married and life after marriage will be over, but it took too long to write, and everyone has been waiting for too long. There are still some things to write and make up for, so I will post a bonus extra for everyone to read for free. It is roughly estimated that there are still tens of thousands of words. In case some babies don't like it, you can choose to read it. Currently tentative bonus extras: Sheng Sheng and Liu Yu's daughter appears (if you are concerned about having children, skip this and it will not affect the original ending, nor will it affect everyone's reading and subscription of the text); Liu Yu and Sheng Sheng's if line Pilot
I hope Jiang Sheng and Liu Yu in parallel time and space can always be happy 🧋
At the end of the second brush, I continued to watch the if line. Jin Shu and Jiang Xin did not get separated by accident, Jiang Fan lived peacefully with Tan Tan, and Sheng Sheng and Liu Yu did not start an unequal relationship (although Liu Yu still left a bad impression on his wife). They were so complete and happy 🥺 🥺
Hhh makes people want to violate it
The other world is so wonderful, everyone is happy 🥺
Chen Zifan should have someone who loves her
The corners of my mouth were raised throughout the whole process after watching 🧋
