Reborn, I Rely on the Villainous Power Minister to Stay Alive

[Mutual devotion, sweet romance] In her previous life, Su Wan trusted the wrong people and became a stepping stone for someone else to ascend to the throne. Her family was destroyed, and every member of it died unjustly.

Reborn in a single moment, Su Wan had not yet settled the scores from her previous life when she discovered that she was afflicted with a strange illness. The only thing that could ease it, even slightly, was being near Qi Yan, the most powerful official in the court.

To stay alive, Su Wan had no choice but to seize every opportunity to get close to Qi Yan.

During the imperial hunt in the Northern Frontier, Su Wan suddenly suffered heart palpitations. She pretended to feel dizzy and fell toward Qi Yan, only for an assassin to appear out of nowhere. Su Wan happened to block the sword aimed at him.

When plague broke out in Huainan, Qi Yan personally entered the worst-hit area. Su Wan overcame obstacle after obstacle and raced a thousand miles to his side, facing danger with him and risking her life alongside his.

When the court was thrown into turmoil, Qi Yan was imprisoned and badly wounded. No one in the court dared approach him, but Su Wan alone cared for him meticulously, openly touching and embracing him while secretly extending her own life.

Looking at this woman who was “deeply in love” with him, Qi Yan's usually dark eyes revealed a burning intensity. “I understand how you feel about me.”

By then, Su Wan had recovered and was getting ready to run away. “Huh? Understand what? I've got somewhere to be, so I'm off.”

Qi Yan's eyes flashed with emotion. Without changing expression, he drew her into his arms.

“How about a deal? A grand wedding procession, a vast realm, and the position of empress: I'll give them all to you.”

“What do you want in return?”

“You.”
