You Forced Me to Bear Your Child to Save Her? I Married a Powerful Minister and Got Spoiled Rotten

A resilient, gentle, sweet-natured woman vs. an iron-handed, calculating regent

[Older man guides her + groveling ex-husband + bittersweet push and pull + mutual salvation]

Su Yuyi stayed home to care for her family for three years. When her husband finally passed the top imperial examination, she went to the capital to find him, only to discover that a princess had moved into the top scholar's residence.

She became an obstacle to the top scholar and the princess, a clingy nuisance who wouldn't leave him alone.

The whole capital despised her.

It turned out her husband had welcomed his first wife into his home only to protect his reputation.

After Su Yuyi was made unable to bear children, he demanded that she have another one to treat the princess's illness.

He even said she was making a fuss, telling her to be patient and stop acting spoiled.

After he abandoned her on a mountain that day, leaving her nearly frozen to death, she decided to divorce him.

But her husband didn't care.

"You have no one to rely on. Where could you possibly go without me?"

Su Yuyi had already made up her mind. She had laid out a path for herself.

But it seemed someone else had appeared along that path.

Later, the Regent drew her into his arms.

"A princess? Even if it were the emperor, if he dares to hurt her, I'll make him pay with his life."

Later still, her scumbag ex-husband knelt at her feet, crying and begging for forgiveness.

But Su Yuyi kicked him away.

"Sorry, I'm not taking the risk of going back to an old flame."

When they first met, she had been abandoned in the snow and wind, alone and on the brink of death.

Xiao Yanyu thought he had acted out of nothing more than compassion.

But when he couldn't stand seeing her neglected and mistreated, and grew desperate to take her for himself, he realized his feelings were genuine.

"You are mine, and mine alone."
