You Want Me to Marry an Old Man? I’ll Turn Around and Marry the Regent

[Bold, radiant heiress to a wealthy merchant family × cold-faced, scheming, lovesick regent who dotes on his wife]

[Reborn male lead protects and pampers his wife and seeks to make their marriage official + lofty beauty turns into a sly little green tea + play the pig to eat the tiger + scumbags get their comeuppance]

On the eve of her wedding, Lu Zhuozhuo catches her fiancé in bed with her stepsister, then overhears her father and stepmother plotting to make her switch grooms.

Furious, she decides to throw caution to the wind and forcibly marries the regent’s most beloved male companion, the one everyone has been talking about.

“Go tell your regent, the one who loves to slaughter people left and right, that I’m stealing his man. Let him come smash my wedding and wipe out the Lu family.”

The male companion puts on a fierce front, though he’s clearly scared. “You’re done for! Stealing your man from my lord means your whole clan will be executed!”

Lu Zhuozhuo: “My whole clan?!”

I acted too rashly!

You can’t just mess with a weapon of mass destruction.

She’ll have to rely on herself to return to the wedding and expose the adulterous couple in public, shattering their dreams.

When she learns her scumbag father was the one who killed her mother, she joins forces with her uncle to take back everything that belongs to her.

She can’t let the pretty little husband she forcibly married out of her sight.

Seeing how useless yet handy he is, she simply keeps him around like a pet for entertainment.

Just when a happy life seems within reach,

her scumbag father ingratiates himself with powerful families in the capital, drawing the regent himself all the way from the capital.

Lu Zhuozhuo feels a chill at the back of her neck. “The theft of my husband is an unforgivable grudge. If I don’t want to die, I have to run.”

She promptly abandons her useless pretty husband and flees in the dead of night.

But she has barely passed through the city gate when well-trained private soldiers pour in from all sides and surround her in layers.

A man in dark robes approaches, his face cold.

“Madam, you left your husband behind and hurried off. Where exactly were you planning to go?”
