After Picking Up a Fallen Powerful Minister

Synopsis On the first day of her rebirth, Song Yuhe found a man lying outside her dilapidated house. Amid the shadows of Tumi blossoms strewn across the ground, the man was covered in wounds and barely breathing. Yet his face was so strikingly handsome it seemed to catch the light. Though cold and taciturn, he was honest and dependable. He chopped wood and cooked for her, washed clothes, swept the house, and even repaired the roof. With his broad shoulders and narrow waist, he could stand in the courtyard and make the shabby house seem more beautiful. Song Yuhe began to entertain a thought. Under cover of night, she blushed, gritted her teeth, and said, “Stay. I’ll take care of you.” Beneath the moonlight, the man said nothing. His face was as cold as a jade statue of a bodhisattva. Song Yuhe thought, Fine. There’s plenty of time. Sooner or later, I’ll warm him up. Then one day, she happened to glimpse the jade pendant he always wore. Her vision went black. She nearly fainted on the spot. The man was Zhao Yuanyin—the future powerful minister who would hold the court in his thrall, commit every manner of atrocity, and ultimately vanish without a trace. In her previous life, he had been an accomplice in the death of the person who had raised her! Song Yuhe briskly packed his belongings. “Out you go!” ** Zhao Yuanyin had made a name for himself while still young. Decisive and ruthless, he was a favorite of the rebel prince. Then disaster struck, and a delicate young woman took him home, where she put him to work as a servant. He couldn’t cook rice properly or get the laundry clean, yet he had the nerve to claim she ought to support him. He scoffed. A true man stands between Heaven and Earth. How could I settle for living beneath someone else’s thumb for long? Later, as he watched her swiftly pack his things, Zhao Yuanyin’s gaze turned icy, and a chill seemed to rise all around him. She really wants me gone that badly?! He bent over her, bracing his hands on either side of her and casting her into shadow. “You can invite a spirit in easily enough, but getting it to leave is another matter. You want me gone now?
