The cold regent x the down-and-out rich lady [double strength/mutual redemption/utilizing true love]
The Taifu's Mansion was accused of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" overnight. All the men in the family were beheaded and the women were banished to slavery. The legitimate daughter Shen Qingci was tortured in the Cold Palace Laundry Bureau, and every day she heard the good news that her enemies (concubine and ex-fiancé) were about to get married. Unwilling to sink into this, she decided to take the risk.
She took advantage of the opportunity to deliver clothes to the palace and deliberately bumped into the honor guard of the regent Murong Yuan. Everyone in the world is afraid of this "living king of hell", but Shen Qingci knelt on the cold stone slab, raised his face that was covered with dust but could not hide its beauty, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, the daughter of the people has a business that she wants to do with the prince. Use me to exchange for the innocence of the entire Shen family."
Murong Yuan lowered his eyes to look at her. This thin woman was trembling, but her eyes were astonishingly bright. He remembered that three years ago, when the late Emperor was here, he had seen the most talented woman in the capital from a distance. At that time, she was as bright as the spring sun, but now she was as cold as winter snow.
He took her away by mistake.
In the regent's palace, Murong Yuan thought she was just a pawn seeking revenge by any means necessary, and watched her struggle with cold eyes. Shen Qingci thought that he was just using himself to deal with Shu Fei's group of strategists, and carefully hid all his vulnerabilities.
However, when someone assassinated Shen Qingci, the usually calm regent lost his temper for the first time and cut the assassin into pulp with his own hands; when Shen Qingci risked his life and almost fell from the building in order to obtain evidence, Murong Yuan flew to the rescue regardless of the danger and held her tightly in his arms in front of everyone.
In this cold transaction, they saw each other's deepest scars.
