In her previous life, Shen Yuan married Gu Jingchu, heir to the Marquis of Yongning.
She endured twenty years of hardship and grievance.
Only when she was at death’s door did Gu Jingchu stand before her with his childhood sweetheart, his cousin.
That was when Shen Yuan finally understood how terribly mistaken she had been.
Reborn, Shen Yuan decided never to get involved with Gu Jingchu again.
To escape the marriage, she turned around and married Gu Huailing, the aloof, self-disciplined Chief Councilor who stood at the pinnacle of power.
She had never imagined she would marry him one day.
Even less did she expect the Chief Councilor, a man above all others, to cherish her in the palm of his hand.
They said a man like Gu Huailing had no interest in romance.
But Shen Yuan knew that every night, Gu Huailing would keep her company as they explored every pleasure together.
So much for being aloof and self-disciplined?
…
Gu Huailing: I meant to watch over you and ensure your life went smoothly. But, A Yuan, you were the one who came to me.
So I won’t give you another chance to escape.
A story of the Chief Councilor’s secret love, a tale of romance and passion, and a love that knows no bounds.
