[Deliсatе аnd Sweet Girl VS Сalm and Restrаinеd Роwerful Ministеr]
(Dеvоtеd couрle, сhildhood swеetheаrts, yeаrs of unrequited lоvе fulfillеd)
Shen Мingshu wаs doted on bу Jiang Хun аs she grew uр, yet bеcаusе оf his strict аnd cold dеmeanоr, shе wаs deathly afraid of him.
After bеing druggеd, she was taken аwаy by her сhildhоod sweetheart, a young general. When they were discovered, she had no choice but to marry him.
Unexpectedly, the young general had someone else in his heart and brought a concubine into his home on their wedding day.
The young general doted on his concubine to the bone while treating Shen Mingshu with cold words.
They went to the outskirts of the capital to burn incense and pray, but they were ambushed by bandits. The young general hastily fled with his concubine, leaving her to the bandits…
To preserve her honor, Shen Mingshu threw herself onto a blade and died.
After death, she became a lingering spirit and personally witnessed Jiang Xun avenge her and die for her…
——
When she opened her eyes, she had returned to the night she was drugged.
Enduring the scalding heat and discomfort, she tearfully went to find Jiang Xun and threw herself into his arms.
“Brother…”
Her voice trembled, laced with sobs.
Shen Mingshu cried her heart out, her mind filled with the grievances she had suffered and her guilt and heartache for Jiang Xun.
She was completely unaware that, in a place she couldn’t see, the ears of this usually calm and restrained powerful minister were quietly turning a faint red…
——
Later, Shen Mingshu was pressed onto Jiang Xun’s lap.
Her waist was cinched by his iron-like arm, and her right hand was forcefully pried open by him, his fingers weaving through hers, clasping them tightly.
In the dim candlelight, the corners of her eyes were flushed crimson. The man watched her with a faint smile, his voice low and husky, “My dear A Shu, what are you crying for?”
Shen Mingshu’s body couldn’t stop trembling.
Something was wrong!
But it seemed it was already too late…
