The Day I Was Betrothed to the Regent, My Entire Family Was Exiled!

[Main story complete] [Historical fantasy + palace and household power struggles + regent + two strong leads redeeming each other] Everyone knew that the powerful Regent had kept a beloved woman in his heart for years. No one expected the Retired Emperor to arrange his marriage to Zhu Anzhi. But right behind the imperial decree came an order to confiscate her family’s property. The crowds sighed in dismay. Overnight, Zhu Anzhi was thrust into the eye of the storm, and everyone speculated whether the Regent would kill her on their wedding night or send her into exile with her family. No one expected their feelings for each other to deepen, the imperial order to be overturned, and the Zhu family to be cleared of charges and restored to their former posts. The red gauze curtains stirred without a breeze, and the golden bell around her ankle rang sharply. “Princess Consort, are you truly willing?” He feigned reluctance. “Does Your Highness not want this?” She modestly confessed. “I could not ask for more.” His dangerous words coaxed her on.
