The Regent’s Cherished Darling

[Reborn · strong heroine · devoted husband · sweet romance · royal uncle · princess consort · historical romance · legitimate daughter] In her previous life, Feng Xiyao was blind to the truth, and her entire family paid the price. She herself met a gruesome end, skinned and dismembered. After dying with hatred in her heart, she opened her eyes to find herself reborn three years earlier, before any of it had happened. Feng Xiyao proceeded with caution, staying alert at every step. Her vicious half-sister wanted to climb into the royal family’s favor, so Feng Xiyao would gladly help her along, tear away her white-lotus mask, and make her suffer for the rest of her life! The scumbag wanted to exploit her and her father’s influence to seize the throne, so Feng Xiyao would ruin his path to the crown one step at a time, leaving him wishing he were dead! Yet just as Feng Xiyao carefully plotted her revenge, worried that anything might go wrong, why did her royal uncle Shen Jinglan keep appearing at her side? He was usually reclusive and aloof, indifferent to worldly affairs, and known only through rumor. Feng Xiyao looked at Shen Jinglan, who was as cool and distant as an immortal, and hesitantly began, “Royal Uncle, since you haven’t had anyone you love in all these years, and Grandmother is worried about your marriage, perhaps we could marry in name only. I, Feng Xiyao, have the same concerns, and the Prince of Zhennan’s household doesn’t want to be used as someone else’s stepping stone, either. Once everything is settled, we can each go our own way. What do you say?” Shen Jinglan gave a cold snort, neither agreeing nor refusing, his expression distant and detached. But after they married, the usually aloof and handsome regent transformed into a devoted husband, with Feng Xiyao filling his every thought.
