The Heir Despised Her, So the Reborn Heiress Married the Regent Instead

Yun Nian always thought she was her parents’ favorite, until her cousin moved in. She watched as her parents fussed over the girl and picked the crabapple blossoms Yun Nian loved most for her; her brother scolded Yun Nian on her behalf; her childhood friend and secret guard praised her; and even her fiancé fell for her. Yun Nian cried and fought to win back their affection, but all she got in return was scolding, confinement, and the desperate agony of being tortured to death. Given another life, she will never fight for their love again. Her parents, her childhood friend and secret guard, her fiancé, and her brother: she wants none of them.

Could she be in love with him? Fine. He’s the only one who can handle a delicate, high-maintenance woman like her. He might as well keep her by his side and grant her wish. But when he asks Yun Nian what she looks for in a husband, she says one of His Highness’s guards would be perfect. Wei Qingjue corners Yun Nian against the wall, his eyes filled with deep, burning possessiveness. He looks at her rabbit-like, reddened eyes and threatens through clenched teeth, “Try marrying someone else. Let’s see who’s foolhardy enough to marry my queen.” Yun Nian just wants to coast through life, but everyone keeps pushing her to grow up...
