The Sickly Princess Is Turning Dark

[The arrogant, headstrong young princess versus the moody Grand Secretary] The first thing Wei Chi Lu did after being reborn was rescue Sheng Ji, the Grand Secretary whom no one had dared defy at the height of his power in her previous life, from the executioner. She promoted him to head of the Grand Secretariat and put him to work for her. In front of everyone, he personally bowed to her, prostrating himself at her feet. His voice lowered as he said, “This slave thanks the Junzhu for saving his life. From now on, this slave is at your command.” She smiled radiantly, the beauty mark between her brows seeming to bloom with breathtaking elegance. She lifted his chin with a hand stained with rouge and said, “Just remember who I am. Report to the Grand Secretariat tomorrow. From now on, there will be no more Sheng Huai, the guilty slave. You’ll be Sheng Ji of the Grand Secretariat!” She withdrew her hand and turned away haughtily, her bright scarlet palace robes trailing and swaying along the ground. No one else in the palace could match her dazzling arrogance when it came to snatching someone from the hands of the prison guards. Sheng Ji bowed his head. He did not dare lift it until the delicate fragrance had completely faded from his nostrils. The corner of his mouth curled up, and a thick, furious menace flashed between his brows. Later, Wei Chi Lu let a wolf into her home. She raised a guilty slave to a position of power, only to find her days turned into misery. In fury, her eyes bloodshot, she stepped on his shoulder and shouted, “The eighteen commanderies of Yanzhou and the thirty-six cities of Taibei were conquered by my father for me! How dare you cede territory to another country? I’ll kill you!” Sheng Ji gripped her slender foot and gave it a slight squeeze, leaving her unable to move. He chuckled and said, “From now on, there will be no more Junzhu Wei Chi Lu of Jianping. There will only be Wei Chi Lu, wife of the Grand Secretary!” (Other works: The Madam Is the Power Lord’s Beloved and Two Babies at Once: The CEO Is Swamped. Group number: 374934356)
