The Bandit Minister

On the surface: [A wine-loving, lecherous bandit chief x A gentle, refined bookkeeper, a master of poetry and painting] In reality: [The legendary swindler and sole descendant of the Li Clan of the Qian Sect x A ruthless, scheming, and obsessive Crown Prince who stops at nothing to achieve his goals] [Power Couple] [Mystery Elements] [Political Intrigue] [Country and Realm] Li Yan, the bandit chief of Feilongzhai, kidnapped a handsome official. Taking advantage of his amnesia, she stubbornly deceived him into believing they were childhood sweethearts, making him the mountain stronghold’s second-in-command. She tricked him into joining her “rebel ship” to oppose the government and enticed him to play the zither for her as they drifted down the river. While it seemed like a beautiful romance, a storm was brewing on the horizon. Amnesia eventually fades—one can lie for a moment, but can one lie for a lifetime? When all that was beautiful turned out to be a fleeting illusion and they looked back, they both fell into a bottomless abyss. Li Yan, caught in a storm and having lost everything, meets Shen Hanzhou, who has regained his memory only to find his position has been usurped. With everything on the line, they join forces to set a final trap. Stepping over the bones of their enemies, they are determined to take back everything that belongs to them. — Description from novelcodex.orgFull novel: The Bandit Minister — read the rest free on N​o⁠v​e⁠l​C⁠o​d⁠e​x⁠.​o⁠r​g⁠
