What?! I Became the Regent’s Stand-In for His One True Love

[Both leads are devoted to each other + political intrigue + female-centered + a universally adored heroine + romantic rivals battling it out + loyalty to country and family | possessive, jealous regent x bright, resilient ray of sunshine]

Luo Jinshu lost her parents at a young age and spent years studying martial arts with her master deep in the mountains. She became a force to be reckoned with, able to split mountains and cleave peaks, and to capture bandits and slay beasts.

A year ago, her master suddenly vanished without a trace. To find him, she traveled alone to Lin'an, where she was swept into the treacherous currents of court politics.

On her very first day in Lin'an, she stabbed the reigning Prince Jin in the chest, leaving a bloody hole.

The next time they met, she sent Prince Jin flying with a single palm strike and shattered his ribs.

Heavens above! Is she and Prince Jin doomed to be at odds?!

Before long, rumors were flying all over Lin'an. Everyone said she did whatever she pleased without a care in the world, all because Prince Jin protected her. The streets were buzzing with another rumor: Prince Jin indulged her so much because she looked a little like the woman he could never forget, his first love.

Luo Jinshu: Hmm... I'm a substitute?

The person beside her gently brushed crumbs from the corner of her mouth. “You should read fewer romance novels.”

She came home late yet again. Chu Yingchuan, who had been left alone for ages, leaned in close, his strikingly beautiful features enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat. “Where have you been? Why are you only getting back now...?”

Luo Jinshu pushed him away, reeking of alcohol, and said flatly, “Didn't you say if you meddled in my business again, you'd be a dog, ”

Chu Yingchuan lowered his eyes and rested his forehead against her soft neck. “Woof, woof... Please take pity on me, my lady.”

The romantic rivals' battleground: the possessive Prince Jin, the heir of Northern Yan, her childhood betrothed and senior brother, her gentle cousin... all lining up to make their entrance.
