[Historical romance and political intrigue + reborn in an apocalyptic age + adorable children and farming + satisfying domestic drama + two powerful leads devoted exclusively to each other] Five years ago, after one wild night at a palace banquet, she vanished without a trace, leaving behind only a jade pendant. Five years later, he finally spots the white-clad figure he has dreamed of day and night on the street, with two miniature versions of himself in tow! He is the regent, a cold and ruthless man who commands a mighty army and trusts no one. She is the illegitimate daughter of a duke’s household, presumed to have “drowned” five years ago, now back in grand style with their twins. He desperately pursues her, but she sneers, “I gave birth to these children and raised them. They have nothing to do with you.” The arduous pursuit begins in earnest On the first day, he calls on her. She refuses to open the door. On the tenth day, he sends her every rare treasure imaginable. She returns them all. On the thirtieth day, he climbs over the wall. She sits in the courtyard as though she knew he would come. Under the moonlight, he opens his heart to someone for the first time. “Give me a chance to prove myself.” After a long silence, she says, “All right. One chance.” But then Consort Xian sets a trap to kill her. The Crown Prince’s faction launches a night raid, and assassins surge in like a tide. He shields her, taking a deadly arrow in her place. “Whoever lays a hand on her, I’ll wipe out their entire clan!” Watching his bleeding arm, she feels a crack appear for the first time in the heart she sealed away five years ago. And the best part? Those two little ones The daughter uses flowers to coax information out of people, while the son drives off assassins with a wooden sword. One is in charge of being adorable; the other protects their mother. Together, they lead the powerful around by the nose. Zhi Nian blinks. “Daddy, if you want to pursue my mother, you’ll have to get past us first.” Zhi Heng holds his sword and says coldly, “If you’re not good to Mother, I’ll kill you.”
