The Geese Fall at Wuwang: The Regent’s Heartfelt Scheme

【One-on-one romance + age gap + devoted to each other + sweet romance + happy ending】 【Shrewd, calculating big bad wolf x clever, sly little fox who never lets a grudge go】 Overnight, the Anping Prince’s manor on the northern frontier is falsely accused of treason and colluding with the enemy. An imperial decree summons Mu Beiyan to the capital under the pretense of granting her an honorable retirement, but in truth, she is being kept as a hostage to keep her family in check. Everyone thinks she is walking straight into a tiger’s den. What they do not know is that this is exactly what Mu Beiyan wants. Her father’s disappearance and her mother’s tragic death must be connected to capital powers conspiring with foreign enemies. She will tear through the layers of deception and uncover the truth. In the capital, Xie Wuwang, the regent who holds power over the entire court, has already concluded that there is more to the case than meets the eye. He does not believe the late Anping Prince betrayed the country, and he finds himself increasingly intrigued by the hostage princess from the northern frontier. When they first meet, he is an aloof, terrifying living King of Hell. She is not afraid in the least, and brazenly calls him by name. Rather than getting angry, he smiles with hidden meaning. Much later, he will have the woman in his arms crying, then gently coax her in a husky voice: “My little queen, won’t you stop crying?” One uses her status as a hostage to uncover the truth, step by step. The other watches and tests her, only to gradually grow impressed. Their mutual wariness slowly turns into a bond that takes hold of both their hearts.
