Ordered to Be a Concubine? I’ll Find a New Husband and Make Chief Advisor Pei Blush

In her previous life, Shen Xiyuan repaid a debt of gratitude by making Qiao Nanzhi take the blame for her half-sister, who shared the same father. He ruined her reputation and caused her to die under the crushing weight of rigid social conventions. After death, she became a spirit. With her own eyes, she saw the powerful minister who had killed her brother, the enemy she hated most, slaughter the entire Marquis's household to avenge her. In the end, he was sentenced to death by a thousand cuts! When Shen Xiyuan opened his eyes again, he held her and wept with remorse, saying he was sorry over and over... She knew he had been reborn too! But when her stepsister came to him for help once more, he still chose to sacrifice her in repayment for the life-saving favor his stepsister had done him. When Shen Xiyuan used an imperial edict to force her to become his concubine, desperate and with nowhere else to turn, Qiao Nanzhi threw herself into Chief Councilor Pei's arms and whispered flirtatiously, “Brother Pei, will you marry me?” She never expected that the powerful minister who could sway the imperial court would be so easily flustered. Just one sentence from her was enough to make the tips of his ears turn red... Everyone said Pei Shiyan was as beautiful as an immortal, brilliantly talented and dashing, the dream lover of every woman in the land. The only pity was that he did not like women, only men. But no one knew that he had defied an imperial decree to refuse marriage, deliberately ruined his own reputation, and remained unmarried and childless his entire life, all because he had coveted another man's wife. He never imagined that one day the moon in his heart would melt into his arms, soft and tender, and take the initiative to tease him in a trembling voice.
