After Being Reborn, the Young Lady from a Collateral Branch Only Wants to Escape, but the Powerful Minister Pursues Her Relentlessly

[Past and Present Lives] [Abduction and Possessive Love] [A Desperate Husband's Pursuit]

In her previous life, Jiang Zhiyi's life was full of twists and turns. She seduced her distinguished, noble cousin, and after they became enemies, entered the palace and became empress.

Sadly, two years later, Xie Chenzhou, who had been demoted and sent north to live as a slave, raised an army in rebellion and marched straight for the capital. On the eve of his arrival, she drank poison and took her own life.

Reborn, she found herself back in the days when she was entangled with her cousin.

At that time, Xie Chenzhou had yet to become a traitor. He was still the upright, aloof, self-restrained minister of the cabinet.

She was an illegitimate young lady of the Duke's mansion, with no proper standing, and she clung to him to survive.

By day, he wore the mask of a sage, immaculate as an immortal.

But at night, he was passionately devoted to her, intent on keeping her as a caged songbird.

Jiang Zhiyi refused to repeat the same mistakes. She could only humor him, secretly amass money, and wait for a chance to escape.

Who could have guessed that the usually aloof and dignified Xie Chenzhou would press her at every turn?

His eyes bloodshot, he clutched her hand and pressed the tip of a knife to his own heart, pleading again and again,

"Tell me, what would it take for you to stay?"
