【The fake aloof beauty and true born villain: a treacherous chancellor brother-in-law × The meek, kind, and honest widowed sister-in-law who runs away pregnant】
*

Unloved by her parents and widowed at a young age, Feng Yuzhen lived her entire life meekly, always submitting to adversity. When her aloof brother-in-law asked if she would live with him, she refused out of cowardice.
Living at the mercy of others in the old Cui family residence, she toiled without complaint for seven or eight years, only to be slandered for being unchaste, bound hand and foot, and drowned in a pond.
It was only after death that she learned they were all living in a storybook, and the protagonist of that story was none other than her brother-in-law, Cui Jingkong.
Cui Jingkong appeared noble and righteous, but in reality, he was diabolically intelligent and tyrannical by nature—a complete and utter hypocrite.
No one could have predicted that after his second attempt at the imperial examinations, he would achieve a triple first, his name appearing on the golden roll. He rose steadily through the ranks and, by the age of thirty, had entered the court as Chancellor, reaching the highest position a subject could attain.
During the decade he held power over the court, Cui Jingkong bent the law for personal gain and ruthlessly persecuted upright officials. The entire court was silenced by fear, and the people of the time secretly reviled him as the “Treacherous Chancellor.”

When Feng Yuzhen opened her eyes again, she found she had returned to her husband’s funeral.
At this time, Cui Jingkong was still just a Xiucai, dressed in shabby clothes. His face was impassive, his eyes dark and deep like soul-capturing black pearls, showing no sign of his future bloodthirsty nature. He parted his lips and asked her, “I wonder if Sister-in-law would be willing to reside with me?”
This time, Feng Yuzhen clutched her sleeves tightly, bit her lip, and nodded.
Later, in countless moments of burgeoning passion where she was powerless to resist, she would endlessly regret this decision, which was no different from letting the wolf in the door.
He pressed forward step by step, while she had no room to retreat. Even if she fled across a thousand mountains and ten thousand rivers, she could not escape his shackles. In the end, she could only let him possess her entirely to his satisfaction.

Cui Jingkong was a monster who lacked emotions and could not feel joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness.
Whether it was studying or serving as an official, every challenge was as effortless for him as drinking water or eating a meal. All variables were within his control. Therefore, he was indifferent to life and death, coveting only the pleasure of bloodshed.
The one exception came when he took it for granted that his widowed sister-in-law would wait obediently at home for him to become the top scholar, after which he would naturally bring her to the capital to marry—
And then, she ran away.
For the very first time, Cui Jingkong tasted the bitterness of pain.
The cowardly, weak widowed sister-in-law, no different from the vast majority of foolish people in the world, this ignorant Zhen’niang, had ultimately become a rope tied around his neck.
With just a gentle tug from her, Cui Jingkong could only bow his head in submission.
