Forced to Marry a Playboy? I Accidentally Won the Regent's Affection

Everyone in the Great Yin Dynasty knows that Prince Regent Xiao Jingyan holds immense power and is utterly ruthless. He is a living King of Hell who clawed his way to the top over mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

But no one knows that this cold-faced ruler is privately treated like a male companion by a fearless young girl.

She was the celebrated Princess Xuening of Zhenbei Pass, but the emperor summoned her back to the capital with an imperial decree ordering her to marry.

Her groom was a notorious playboy, the heir to a noble family in the capital.

“He wants Father to go to Zhenbei Pass and risk his life for him, so Father has to go. He's afraid Father will become too powerful, so he wants me to come back and marry, making me a hostage in the capital. But too bad for him. I, Nangong Xuening, never accept my fate or let anyone else control me. My life, my marriage, my choices are mine to make. I decide my own destiny.”

By a twist of fate, she mistook this living King of Hell for the male companion her subordinates had prepared for her.

After one wild night, she erased all traces of herself and vanished without a trace.

Then, at her wedding to the playboy heir, her blood-red wedding dress seared his eyes. He cornered her and asked coldly, “You slept with me and thought you could just walk away?”

“What do you want, then?”

“To marry you.” His voice was hoarse, but his eyes concealed a possessive fire. “I'll offer you the empire as your bride price. Give me a place in your life.”

Nangong Xuening was dumbstruck.

Wasn't he supposed to be the cold-blooded Prince Regent? Who was this man clinging to her leg and begging her to take responsibility?

Later, the whole capital was in an uproar.

That bloodthirsty King of Hell had actually disbanded his harem for a woman. He even willingly knelt outside the Prince of Nan's residence in the pouring rain for three days and three nights, just to beg her to call him “husband.”
