Aligned Reverence

Xie Yunyan’s methods strike like thunder—ruthless and without scruple—and the entire court trembles in fear at his reputation. In his eyes, there is no Son of Heaven and no nobility; in this world, the only person who can ever make him submit is none other than Yuanniang from the Su family.

“My Ah Yuan is unparalleled in both talent and beauty.”
“My Ah Yuan possesses a refined nature and a gentle heart.”
“My Ah Yuan is the treasure of our household; no one dares to mistreat her.”

When Su Jinyuan was reborn, the entire Xiao family was condemned, her betrothed perished on the battlefield, and the general’s household was left with only the adopted son, Xie Yunyan.

Yet she never expected to be pinned against a wall by a man whose eyes burned with passion.

“Ah Yuan, I’ll give you my love, my life, the entire world—you are the one I desire.”
