The Power Minister's Scheme

Xie Yan had once been a sheltered young lady. The most daring thing she had ever done was secretly write storybooks to earn money without her father’s knowledge. She had always believed she would live a proper, uneventful life, until she met that despicable man named Yan Xuxing. He was sinister and cunning. Not only did he get her father demoted, he also coerced and manipulated her into doing all sorts of things she would never have done, or dared to do, on her own. From then on, Xie Yan’s life took an uncontrollable turn. In the eyes of the world, Yan Xuxing was a treacherous minister. In the emperor’s eyes, he was a great talent. If there was one thing he regretted most, it was getting his future father-in-law demoted! But no one had told him he’d fall for a young woman named Xie Yan! A clever, low-key heroine who grows over time vs. an arrogant, willful villainous minister.
