[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!
