A cool, beautiful woman × a ruthless regent
[The powerful man bows to love | Forced romance | Household intrigue and revenge | Political scheming]
Lu Yao transmigrates into a book, becoming a doomed supporting character.
The original owner married into a general’s household and was neglected. Her husband had long been in love with her younger sister, who slashed her face with a knife and poisoned her until she lost her voice. In the end, she was given a cup of poisoned wine and buried in the wilderness.
Lu Yao decides to avenge the original owner by luring the general into a trap and taking everything from him.
On the path to revenge, Lu Yao catches the attention of someone she should never have provoked.
Rumor has it he is devastatingly handsome, but his cruelty and ruthlessness, along with his decisive nature, keep everyone at a distance. Later, she learns that this is only a facade he uses to intimidate his enemies. In truth, he loves his people as if they were his own children and is utterly devoted to his country.
She discovers his secret, and the ruthless regent wants to kill her to keep it hidden.
She quickly drops to her knees. “I’ll do anything you ask, Your Highness, as long as you let me live.”
“I need you to get close to Chu Xiaohan and find out what he’s really like.”
Later, on the day Lu Yao marries the general, Yan Qing arrives with his troops. That night, in the bridal chamber,
he acts completely out of character, barges in, and pins her to the bed. “A night of passion is worth a thousand pieces of gold. How about I spend it with you, Yao Yao?”
The general falls in love. “Yao Yao, I was wrong. Come back with me.”
Yan Qing shields her behind him. “She is my wife. Why would she go back with you? General, do show some respect.”
