After Being Reborn, I Became the Lifesaving Medicine of My Mad Ninth Uncle

In her previous life, Shen Wan was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family's main branch, but her second uncle sold her to a sadistic eunuch in power to be used as a living medicine vessel. He drained her blood and tortured her to death.

Once, covered in blood, she begged her fiancé for help, but he thought she had sullied her virtue and watched as she was dragged back to hell.

Reborn on the night she was drugged, she knows the bridal sedan waiting outside will take her straight to ruin.

Desperate, Shen Wan stabs her thigh, runs barefoot into the rain, and risks her life to stop the carriage with its black iron lanterns.

It belongs to Pei Ji, the Regent Prince, the mad dog no one in the entire capital dares provoke.

Inside the carriage, Pei Ji's headache is flaring. His eyes are bloodshot, and he is about to draw his sword and kill someone.

Ignoring the blade's edge, Shen Wan clutches the hem of his robe and weeps like a pear blossom in the rain. “Uncle Jiu… it's Jiao Jiao. Save me!”

A faint orchid fragrance instantly stills his madness.

Pei Ji's icy fingertips close around her throat. He greedily inhales the scent at her neck, his voice hoarse and dangerous.

“It doesn't hurt anymore… Who sent you?”

Later

At first, Pei Ji regards her coldly. “Stay in the manor. You are not to go anywhere.”

Later, on every stormy night, he humbly locks her in his arms, snaps the Buddhist prayer beads around his wrist, and kisses the back of her neck again and again. “Jiao Jiao, don't go. I'll give you my life.”

…

Until the day of the palace banquet, when her scumbag ex-fiancé falls to his knees and weeps, begging to get back together.

Pei Ji kicks him over and calmly wipes his fingers, his voice sinister.

“Get a good look. She's the woman I protect. Get down on your knees and call her Auntie!”
