Jade Slave: The Chaste Regent’s Sinister Plot

At court, Sheng Jingting’s word was practically law.

Power and status came easily to him in this life, but he had to fight to survive amid blades and shadows.

Then a beauty appeared from among the countless flashes of steel, like a blazing blade,

and threw herself into his arms like a moth to a flame, yearning to be held in his grasp.

Sheng Jingting lost himself in her, until the blade drew blood and he realized it had never been meant for him.

It was poison, sent to kill him.

The Shen family was accused of treason, and the whole household was thrown into the prison.

Only Shen Mingzhu, the legitimate daughter who had already married, and Shen Qiyan, the legitimate daughter sent away to a country estate as a child, were spared.

The former had married into the imperial family. The latter

was selected from the entertainment quarters and volunteered to go to the Regent’s palace.

Everyone thought she did it for her family in prison. Only Shen Qiyan knew

that from the very beginning, she had wanted one person dead, but had somehow fallen for him.

Sheng Jingting: “Now that you’ve provoked me, do you really think you can stay out of it?”

Shen Qiyan raised an eyebrow. “I have to try.”
