Young Lady of the Duke's Estate, Your Chief Councilor Is Both Charming and Adoring

Lin Jiangnan had always abided by propriety. The most outrageous thing she'd ever done was fall in love with the younger brother her mother had adopted as her sworn brother.

Zhuang Qing was the most elegant and captivating man in the capital, as well as the powerful chief grand secretary.

He was always restrained and reserved, eccentric and cold, careful with every word and deed. The most rebellious thing he'd ever done was fall in love with the daughter of his enemy.

At first, she obediently and politely called him “Uncle.”

Later, he crossed the bounds of propriety, coaxing and tempting her into his trap. “I don't like that title. You can call me Qinglang.”

And then...

His identity was exposed, stunning the world overnight. The fallen Jin dynasty had a descendant after all. The kingdom's heirs had returned to reclaim their throne, and the court was soon awash in bloodshed.

She became a pawn he discarded.

Heartbroken, Jiangnan chose another man, never expecting that one day he would appear at her wedding, still as dashing as ever, and abduct her. He pinned her firmly against a wall, eyes red.

“I won't let you marry another man!”

She smiled faintly and called him, “Uncle.”
