22 Chapter 176: The One in Her Heart: Arms Folded, Watching from the Sidelines

Twins were considered an ill omen. From the age of ten, Zhao Huairen became Zhao Huaijin. The capital teetered on the edge of chaos, and the Zhao family, already battered by turbulent times, could not withstand the devastating news of their heir's untimely death. The family needed an heir to carry on. Beneath her mother's tearful gaze, Zhao Huairen forever lost her own name and stepped into her brother's role. The white-clothed prime minister, as refined as jade. Whether she had immersed herself too deeply in the role or possessed a natural gift for it, she became the capital's renowned gentle young master. Everything was seamless. The only unexpected element was her not-yet-wed sister-in-law. On one side lay the life of an innocent woman; on the other, the survival of the entire Zhao clan. Zhao Huairen could only wrong one of them. On the day she married Yan Yiqing, Zhao Huairen secretly vowed in her heart that she would treat her well for the rest of her life. If Yan Yiqing later found someone she loved, she would do everything in her power to make it happen for her. But later on...

Who would have thought that fate would twist in such an unexpected way... * In Zhao Huairen's eyes, Yan Yiqing was perfect in every way. The only problem was that she was simply too captivating. Not falling for her was truly difficult. In Yan Yiqing's heart, Zhao Huairen was perfect in every way. The only problem was that she was far too steadfast and pure. Seducing her was truly difficult.
