Returning to When the Cold Power Minister Was Young, I Made Him Cry!

Historical Romance · Time Travel · Sweet and Intense Romance

A charming, radiant noble young lady × a paranoid, scheming high minister.

Only after dying did Wen Yunwan learn that she had been living inside a storybook—as the male lead’s dead first-love wife.

After her death, the male lead remained alone, until one after another, women who resembled her began to appear. These women all shared the same title: clearers.

The male lead would be moved by these clearers, and after playing out a drama of “he pursues, she runs,” he would finally arrive hand in hand with them at his dead wife’s grave to thank her.

That was what Wen Yunwan heard, while she was a ghost, from the inner thoughts of one such clearer.

What? Was she just a plaything for all of them?

She was so furious that she fainted even in death. When she opened her eyes again, she had returned to the year she was fourteen, to the very day she first met Song Yanzhou.

—

Song Yanzhou was born into poverty but was brilliantly intelligent. It took him only four years to go from poor scholar to grand chancellor.

He learned everything quickly, except how to love someone—there had never been anywhere for him to learn that.

Later, he met Wen Yunwan, a bright and lovely young girl who looked as though she would never have anything to do with him.

Yet she became his wife.

He had never loved before, and did not know how to treat her well. Afraid of frightening her, he restrained himself and hid his obsessive desires.

But later, she died.

And Song Yanzhou went mad.

A man who had never believed in gods or Buddhas sought out a way to keep her shattered, incomplete soul by his side.

But when a face similar to hers appeared, the red string around his wrist snapped.

She vanished.

Gone forever.

Song Yanzhou went completely insane.

He killed every person who had a face similar to hers, and after all the killing, even that lost its meaning.

He came to his wife’s grave and plunged a blade into his own heart.

He wanted only to be forever entwined with his wife beneath the earth.
