Help! The Tyrannical Regent Insists I Date Him

Disguised as a man ➕ sweet romance ➕ an alternate-history ancient setting ➕ doted on by everyone ➕ nouveau riche Nan Chuxian always felt she was born to be forced into love. Her mother forced her to disguise herself as a man. Her emperor father forced her to be raised as the crown prince. Even the empress from a rival household forced her to face assassination. After eighteen years of enduring it all, her mother was dead, her father was gone, and her enemies had fallen. She packed her bags and headed straight to her fief to enjoy retirement. But then her tyrannical uncle blocked her way. Twirling a strand of her hair, he looked like a wronged husband. “A Jing, you used your uncle and now you want to run?” Nan Chuxian exploded. One night together and he expected her to take responsibility? No way! “An uncle and his niece must keep their distance!” But her tyrannical uncle leaned down and kissed her, his voice languid. “Come work at the Prince Regent's residence. Your monthly salary will be a thousand taels of gold.” Nan Chuxian's expression changed in an instant. She took a rose between her lips and hooked an arm around his neck. “Uncle, are we going to your place or mine tonight?” Uncle, we were never meant to be. It just took money to bring us together! (A lighthearted, silly style. Don't take the wording too seriously.)
