After My Husband's Death, I Seduce a Noble and Powerful Minister

[Sister-in-Law vs. Elder Brother-in-Law, Tea-Scented Little White Flower vs. Ascetic Male Nanny]

Ji He’s husband dies of illness, and her mother-in-law plans to have her buried with him. In desperation, Ji He lies that she is carrying her late husband’s posthumous child.

Her mother-in-law believes her and stops treating her harshly, but Ji He looks down at her flat belly and is at a loss.

After much deliberation, Ji He turns her attention to her late husband’s elder brother, a man with immense power at court.

The man is handsome and dignified, with an innate air of nobility. Ji He thinks that if she bears his child, he will surely help her if she ever falls on hard times.

That night.

With tears on her long lashes, Ji He leans against the man’s chest, her voice impossibly sweet and coquettish. "Elder Brother, please take pity on me and help me just this once..."

Xu Heng comes from a prestigious family and holds a high position. He is like snow atop a lofty mountain and a bright moon in the distant sky, the ideal husband cherished by every noblewoman in the capital.

His younger brother has died a tragic death, leaving behind only a lonely, pregnant sister-in-law. Xu Heng decides to take good care of her and the child on his brother’s behalf.

Later, spring passions rise and fall.

After one night together, Xu Heng gazes at the sleeping woman in his arms and thinks that staying hidden in the shadows and continuing to care for his sister-in-law like this for the rest of his life might not be so bad.

Later, her supposedly dead husband returns, having faked his death. By then, Ji He has already given birth to the child she had with Xu Heng.

Afraid the truth will come out, Ji He leaves in the dead of night with the child.

Ji He thinks she can finally live a peaceful life, but one day, the child comes home with a familiar man.

The man still seems as untouchable as ever, but madness and obsession churn in his eyes.

At a single glance, Ji He feels as if she has fallen into an abyss.
