The Rebellious Daughter of a Prestigious Family

A greedy father, a vicious stepmother, and a scheming second sister... Not one of them is easy to deal with. And that’s not even mentioning her betrothal to Pei Wenfeng, a treacherous rebel. If she wants to rewrite her fate, she may as well start by ending the engagement. Using the Qingchuan disaster-relief corruption case as leverage, she demands that Pei Wenfeng give her a letter dissolving their engagement. Pei Wenfeng says, “There was no matchmaker’s word or betrothal letter. You’re the only one who took it seriously.” Afterward, Pei Wenfeng schemes at every turn, calculating every move. When he returns, he has become a powerful minister who dominates the court. Meanwhile, Song Yuzi has become a notorious rebellious daughter of a noble family in Yunjing, and is about to be married to a playboy heir. Song Yuzi says, “I want to end my engagement. Chancellor Pei, help me.” Thinking of the rumors about her in the capital, Pei Wenfeng replies, “Help you? You weren’t satisfied with me, and you’re not satisfied with the heir either? Would you only be satisfied as the most honored empress in the land?” Later, Pei Wenfeng holds her as they sit on the dragon throne. “Whatever you desire, I shall give you.”
