The Chancellor’s Pampered Maid

[Pure historical romance, no rebirth or transmigration] Arched brows, almond eyes, a hibiscus face, and a bewitching beauty that makes the whole room bloom like spring. When a woman with a beautiful face has someone to lean on, she is a lovely young lady. When even her parents do not cherish her, she is a beguiling temptress, a beauty who brings disaster. *Jiang Yun spent sixteen years as a bullied legitimate daughter, one month as an imperial consort, and one year as a servant in the Chancellor’s Estate. At last, she found her chance, took her revenge, and walked away. She wanted to make her own way in life, but every step was a trap, and someone went to great lengths to lure her back to the Chancellor’s Estate. The treacherous official drawled, “You’ve been using my influence all this time. Do you really think you can just leave?” *Su Mingzhang clawed his way out of a pile of corpses and rose to become the most powerful official in the court. His fellow ministers called him “Chancellor” to his face and “treacherous villain” behind his back. He knew he was no good man, with cruel hands and a cruel heart. But one day a woman climbed into his carriage, her eyes misty with tears. “Chancellor, I’m willing to testify and expose the Empress Dowager’s faction. I only ask you to find a way to save me…” Two tears fell at just the right moment onto his boots. Su Mingzhang was momentarily distracted, and spared Jiang Yun’s life. He did not know that once he made an exception, he would make it again and again. He let her use his influence to take revenge and let her borrow his authority to throw her weight around. But he would not let her walk away once her business was done, and he certainly would not let just any stray cat or dog steal her away.
