The Regent’s Darling in His Palm: My Lady, Don’t Even Think of Escaping

[Historical romance + household intrigue + devoted couple + sweet romance + heroine who grows over time] The heir’s wife at Duke Xingguo’s manor had a husband who was not dead, but might as well have been. She had lived like a widow for years. What a pitiful life. Then one day, the regent, who held power over the entire court, became entangled with her. But who knew that the regent had only intended to use her as a stand-in? He never expected to become deeply attached to her... He refused to betray the woman he held dear in his heart, but as time passed, the woman before him increasingly began to overlap with the one in his memories. Only later did he learn that the person he had been searching for all along was right in front of him! And so the regent, usually so haughty and self-assured, underwent a complete change of heart and followed his wife around day after day. “Yun’er, my heart belongs to you!” “Yun’er, can I sleep on the couch tonight?”
