The Cool One Meets the Unhinged One

Coming next: My Wife, Dead for Five Years, Has Returned. On their wedding night, she wakes up five years in the future. Xun Qi woke up one morning with a mother! Everyone told her that her mother was the Left Chancellor. This woman took her into the Chancellor's residence, and Xun Qi's life changed beyond recognition for the better. If she wanted money, her mother gave her money. If she wanted power, she was the Left Chancellor's only daughter. Just as she thought she could drift through life like this, she discovered that her mother was still a virgin. Her mother had never married or consummated a marriage, so how had Xun Qi been born? She began observing this cool, beautiful woman up close as her daughter, only to be shocked to discover she'd fallen into a gigantic scam. Everyone was lying to her. Yan Zhi'an had served the empress for many years, helping her kill her husband and seize the throne. She had been chancellor for only half a year when the empress sent her a daughter. The empress said, "Take her back and raise her in your residence as your illegitimate daughter. Once I have secured my power, I will bring her back." Yan Zhi'an had no choice but to take the "daughter" from the prison and tell her, "I'm your mother. I gave birth to you." The fool believed her and affectionately called her Mother. Yan Zhi'an frowned. She didn't like being called that. She intended to shape this ignorant young woman into a crown princess with the makings of an emperor. Xun Qi loved to cry, make a scene, and turn everything upside down, throwing the capital into chaos while Yan Zhi'an spent every day cleaning up her messes. The empress rested easy, leaving her daughter in Yan Zhi'an's care. If she didn't raise her well, the whole realm would fall into chaos. Later, the young woman exposed the deception. Looking at the thorny rose she'd personally raised, Yan Zhi'an was filled with regret. Xun Qi kept her confined to the residence, watching her every day. "The Left Chancellor lied to me for so many years. What are you going to give me in return?" There was nothing she could give. Xun Qi looked at the pure, immaculate woman before her, a smile in her deep eyes. "How about giving me your body, Left Chancellor?" You lied to me, so repay me with everything you have. Later, Yan Zhi'an faked her death and left the capital, hoping to escape this ill-fated relationship. But when she saw Xun Qi go mad, her heart softened. She had raised the girl for five years, and she cared for her more than anyone. Little scene: At thirteen, Xun Qi: Mother, look at me. At eighteen, grown up, Xun Qi: Yan Zhi'an, look at me. *Fake mother-daughter story, with a 14-year age gap. The related raising-up story, She Is Utterly Rebellious, is complete.
