The Regent's Sole Favorite: The Princess Will Not Accept His Love

[1v1, both devoted only to each other] (A pure historical romance, no rebirth or transmigration. The male lead isn't an idiot, and there are no heart- or kidney-removal scenes. The angst is emotional, not physical. Any mistakes are the author's fault (⋟﹏⋞))

“What's it like to taste the Regent's woman?” On the night she was bestowed to him in marriage, he came under cover of moonlight, took her innocence, and demoted her to a secondary consort.

She was the emperor's daughter, an unloved pawn. Entering the prince's household, she maneuvered between her father and the regent. He schemed against her, and she indulged him, drawing him ever deeper.

The woman in his heart had been cruelly killed by her father. Just as he began to give his heart to her, that woman appeared, covered in wounds, and reclaimed the affection she had struggled so hard to win.

In the end, he climbed the steps on his knees, one by one. He proclaimed to the world both his crimes against her and his love for her, finally earning the right to marry her openly and honorably.
