The Night Before Her Release, the Honorable Minister Completely Loses Control

[Powerful Male Lead Falls Hard + Maid Heroine + Overprotective Older Brother] [Aloof, Secretly Passionate, Short-Lived Male Lead Who Pretends to Be Infertile vs. Brilliant, Miraculous Healer and True Heiress Heroine vs. Overprotective Brother]

(The romance develops slowly at first, a gradual reunion and recognition between the leads, along with an overprotective brother reclaiming the sister he lost.)

Reborn for a second time, Qing Dai finally saw the light. Instead of getting lost in love and hate, she would find herself a powerful patron, secure her manumission papers, search for her family, and build a career!

So she turned around and attached herself to the uncle of her former scumbag husband, his sworn enemy in her previous life.

Rumor had it that Shen Yu, the nation's chancellor, was noble and aloof, doomed to die young and leave no heirs, and colder than ice.

When Qing Dai first asked for his help, he was indifferent and detached, treating what passed between them as nothing more than a cold transaction in which each got what they needed.

But as spring deepened and summer drew near, affection and passion blossomed in the blink of an eye. Only on the night Qing Dai received her manumission papers and was about to leave the residence did he realize that he had already fallen deeply in love with her.

Later, Shen Yu discovered that the woman he loved so fiercely, and tried so hard to restrain himself around, was the long-lost white moonlight of his youth...

What was he to do? Dote on her with all his might!

A certain Court of Judicial Review official said sternly, “She's my own sister! If you want one, have one yourself.”

Shen Yu took that to heart. “Then we'll have one.”

Years later, a little boy who looked exactly like Shen Yu wrapped his arms around Xiao Ce's leg and called out in a soft, babyish voice, “Uncle~”

Xiao Ce gritted his teeth, furious enough to spit blood. “Well played, Shen Yu! I thought we were brothers, and you went behind my back and tricked my sister into having your baby?!”
