Summary
To destroy his chances at the chancellorship, Wen Yu’s political rival gives him a drug that can make a man conceive. Wen Yu responds by climbing into an enemy king’s bed. Handsome, ruthless, and inconveniently bound to his first lover, Jing Yao offers him a dangerous bargain: produce an heir or die. Wen Yu wants more than a place beneath the royal quilts. He wants office, influence, and a sovereign worthy of his talents. As court rivals circle and affection tangles with ambition, keeping the king wrapped around his finger may require letting the king hold the chain.
