The Villain Father's Darling

Yun Weimian, a modern psychology PhD, wakes up transmigrated into the body of a five-year-old girl. She is the biological daughter of Gu Jue, the powerful, notorious villain known as the Nine-Thousand-Year Lord. Her father shows her no affection, the servants bully her, and she is on the verge of dying from illness.

When they first meet, he stands tall and elegant, his phoenix eyes icy. He is the legendary “Jade-Faced Asura,” said to be terrifying enough to silence crying children. He says, “I, Gu Jue, have no daughter.”

To survive, Yun Weimian must hide her sharp edges and embark on a life of acting sweet and cute, winning everyone’s affection.

She clings to her father’s golden leg, calling out in a soft, childish voice, “Daddy, I’m hungry. Pick me up!”

She wins over her father’s sworn brothers, a group of men destined to become great powers in their own right: “You’re the best brothers ever!”

She charms the young emperor on his throne and is named a “Princess Who Protects the Nation” by imperial decree.

The entire court believes Gu Jue’s little darling will be a warm, comforting presence.

But no one knows that beneath that sweet exterior lies a black-hearted schemer.

Yun Weimian plots her way forward, stirring up turmoil at court in a child’s body, all to save herself and her villainous father from the catastrophe that awaits them.

She plans for everything, but never expects that her father, decisive and ruthless, who treasures her like a jewel in his palm, will lay the entire world at her feet on her coming-of-age day just to see her smile. Nor does she expect Xie Heng, the young general who is as cool as the moon and commands the secret guards, to lay down his armor for her and willingly bow his head.

When the dust settles, she realizes that what she thought was a struggle to survive was, in fact, a long-planned, all-consuming act of devotion. All she wanted was to stay alive, but they want to give her the whole world.
