(Black Cut Black Villain ✖️Ascetic and Cold-Hearted Master)
In her previous life, Pei Jingxu was a widow for three years because of her husband Rong Xuanzhou who died in battle, but she waited for him to return to the capital with his comrade-in-arms widow Bai Shutong and their two children.
Rong's parents remained silent and only advised her to be virtuous and generous.
The widow was extremely beautiful and soon after she came to the capital, she became the envy of the powerful people in the capital. Even Rong Xuanzhou was attracted to her and treated her with tenderness and care.
In the end, Pei Jingxu was used as a token of loyalty by Bai Shutong's pursuer and drowned in the lotus pond.
On the verge of death, he realized that he was actually living in a popular storybook and was a stumbling block on the road to becoming the most favored heroine in the capital.
After living a new life, Pei Jingxu, a vicious female supporting role, realized that she had to find a backer for herself before the heroine returned to Beijing.
Therefore, Pei Jingxu's mind turned to the unparalleled and elegant eldest son of the Rong family, Rong Jianxue, the current young master.
That night, Pei Jingxu's eyes were bloodshot, her thin clothes were penetrating her bones, and she was crying like a pear blossom in the rain. She knocked on his door and said, "Brother, Erlang is not here. Ah Xu is really scared..."
Rong Jianxue's eyes were cold and the Buddhist beads in her sleeves tightened.
--
After Rong Xuanzhou returned to Beijing, he found that his wife, who had shared his hardships with him, no longer stayed with him, but instead frequently visited his brother's house.
Knowing his brother's strictness, Rong Xuanzhou said to her coldly, "If you give in, I'll let you go."
Behind the screen, Rong Jianxue grabbed half of her arm.
The man's eyes were dark, and he answered for her in a hoarse voice: "She deserves to be punished."
--
Later Pei Jingxu ran away.
Outside the city, private soldiers lined up, and the man approached step by step, with a monstrous delusion in his eyes: "A Xu is right, it's time for us to have a child."
Back row reminder: The male lead and the male supporting role are not brothers~

However, during a sect mission, Xiao Ren was criticized for being too ruthless for killing all the bandits!

[Alternate history + multiple female leads + power struggle + strategy + no system]
During the prosperous Kangxi era, the emperor was young, and the empress oversaw the court.
Qin Yuangang transmigrated into the body of a eunuch and was captured by the empress to serve her personally in the palace.
First, palace maids were giving away money like crazy, then concubines from various palaces were vying to offer themselves to them.
Nonsense! How could I, a grown man, cling to a woman's leg?
Unless, of course, those long legs are also white, straight, and fragrant!
The young emperor, who had been watching anxiously from the side, grew impatient.
You promised to take me to a brothel to listen to music and peek at the palace maids bathing!
Transmigrated into the heir of the Prince of Zhenbei, the emperor demands that I take the capital as a hostage? My initial encounter with a prince's provocation leads me to retaliate by mobilizing troops, seizing horses, and cooking meat.
The emperor's chief eunuch dares to spy on him? He'd be slapped across the face and thrown out.
I've heard the most beautiful and talented courtesan in the capital is unparalleled? I'll snatch her!
What? She's the daughter of a great military strategist, burdened with a blood feud and seeking my help?
No problem, I, the young master, will overturn your wrongful conviction!
What rules and laws? I, the young master, am the rule!
In the imperial palace, he directly demanded the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review from the emperor, uttering arrogant words.
"Very slick... Oh no, I'm very interested in this official position!"
Three days as temporary ruler? Enough! With the intervention of the Northern Liang forces, the political landscape of the capital is in turmoil because of him.
This is an exhilarating story of a prince who, despite his father's arrogance (just kidding), stirs up the capital city with his own strength!
[A sweet and delicate girl versus a calm and composed powerful minister]
(Both are virgins, childhood sweethearts, and their long-standing unrequited love has finally come true)
Shen Mingshu was pampered by Jiang Xun as she grew up, but because of his strictness and coldness, she always feared him as if he were her own life.
After being drugged, she was taken away by her childhood sweetheart, a young general. When they were caught in the act, she had no choice but to marry him.
Little did the young general know that he had someone else in his heart, and on his wedding day, he took a concubine into the household.
The young general doted on his concubine, yet he spoke coldly and indifferently to her.
They went to burn incense and pray to Buddha in the outskirts of Beijing, but unexpectedly, bandits attacked. The young general hurriedly fled with his concubine, leaving her with the bandits...
To save herself, Shen Mingshu committed suicide by walking into a knife.
After death, she became a ghost and witnessed Jiang Xun avenge her and die for her...
——
When she opened her eyes, she was back to the night Shen Mingshu was drugged.
Despite the burning sensation and discomfort, she cried as she went to find Jiang Xun and threw herself into his arms.
"Brother..."
Her voice trembled, choked with sobs.
Shen Mingshu cried bitterly, her heart filled with the grievances she had suffered and the guilt and heartache she felt towards Jiang Xun.
I never expected it, in a place she couldn't see.
The usually composed and restrained minister's ears subtly flushed red...
——
Later, Shen Mingshu was pinned against the wall by Jiang Xun, with the cold wall behind her and his burning breath in front of her.
Her breathing was erratic, her eyes were red, and her fingers were trembling slightly.
Only at this moment did she truly understand—
She messed with someone she shouldn't have!
Jiang Xun... is not at all what he seems!
