The Mad Empress’s Secret Guard

A gentle yet domineering, bewitching empress (little princess) × a cool, calculating secret guard

Jiang Yingyue, the gentle and kind-hearted eldest princess, married Zhang Yuyin, her childhood sweetheart and the Crown Prince’s study companion. But Zhang Yuyin was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Half a month after marrying Jiang Yingyue, he allied himself with the Prince of Zhenbei and stormed the palace, personally killing her father, the emperor.

Jiang Yingyue was devastated. Her beloved grandfather and the man she loved had joined forces to kill her father, and she had even been made empress?

Jiang Yingyue knew she had to kill Zhang Yuyin with her own hands and avenge her father and brothers. Having lost her husband, father, grandfather, brothers, and uncle all at once, she had to rise to her feet and reclaim the empire that belonged to the Jiang family. And all along, someone had stayed by her side, through disgrace, danger, and even death, never once abandoning her.

“Princess, turn around and look at me. I’ve been here all along.”

Jiang Yingyue’s slender fingers, nails painted a dazzling red, tilted up his chin as she studied him carefully. “It’s not like I’m blind. I know you’re here, so quit standing around and get into bed.”

The man in black immediately brightened and leapt onto the bed, wrapping his arms around Jiang Yingyue and nuzzling her neck. “A-Yue, you smell so good.”
