I Stole the Heroine’s Halo and Became the Powerful Minister’s Beloved

Luo Ning was the youngest executive director in the history of the Bai Tea Group. She never expected to wake up as Ning Heng, a minor character in a comic who gets her family confiscated right from the start. To stay alive, Ning Heng has no choice but to enter the game herself and become the blade in the hands of the young Imperial Tutor. She helps him purge the court and bloodily cleanse the bureaucracy, while he promises to give the Ning family a chance to survive. In a world bound by the plot, she rejects her predetermined ending and vows to protect every important person at any cost. From a disposable minor character, she transforms into a strategist famed throughout the capital, every step she takes a challenge to fate. As they work side by side, Ning Heng gradually develops genuine feelings for him, until the night a knife is held to her throat. “If the Imperial Tutor surrenders, I’ll let your beloved go.” Gu Nanzhou: “Then kill her. She’s just a pawn.” Ning Heng gave a soft laugh, the last warmth fading from her eyes. “Fine. You can’t force a melon to be sweet. There’s no shortage of men in this world. I’m done serving you!” From then on, she was gone from the capital, no longer there to brew tea and discuss strategy over a chessboard. Yet the usually cool and composed Imperial Tutor grew more unhinged with every long night she was away. When they met again, she was listening to music aboard a pleasure boat on West Lake, laughing and chatting with a handsome young scholar. He seized her wrist, his jade ring pressing a red mark into her snow-white skin. “Having fun? I’ve been looking for you for three whole years!”
