The Brocade Phoenix Returns: The Regent's Cherished Darling

She was the legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister’s household, but after her mother died young, she suffered under the cruelty of her stepmother and endured years of bullying, until she was ultimately framed and killed.

When she opened her eyes again, Jiang Wanyan had returned to the age of fourteen, on the anniversary of her mother’s death. In this life, she swore to rip away her stepmother’s hypocritical mask, expose her half-sister’s vicious schemes, and make every enemy pay in blood!

**She plotted at every turn, laying her plans with care:**

✔ **Tearing off the mask of hypocrisy:** Her stepmother seemed virtuous, but was ruthless beneath the surface. Jiang Wanyan would make her suffer the consequences of her own schemes!

✔ **Destroying her half-sister’s engagement:** The half-sister who stole her fiancé in her previous life would be disgraced and become a laughingstock in this one!

✔ **Uncovering the truth about her mother’s death:** Her mother’s death was tied to a royal secret. She swore to kill the true culprit with her own hands!

**On the road to power, she crossed paths with the Regent:**

✔ **Their first meeting:** She climbed over the wall to leave the residence and was spotted by him. Regent Xiao Yujin narrowed his eyes. “The little girl from the Prime Minister’s household is quite interesting.”

✔ **Testing each other:** At a poetry gathering, she disguised herself as a man and debated scholars. He smiled faintly. “Have we met before, young master?”

✔ **Joining forces:** She investigated an old case with him. He drew her into his arms. “Wanyan, be my princess consort. I’ll share half this realm with you.”

**From a legitimate daughter seeking revenge to the Regent’s princess consort, she trod carefully at every step, yet he cherished her in the palm of his hand:**

“My lord, I’m only using you to get revenge.”

“No matter.” He chuckled. “I’m more than happy to oblige.”
