Su Ruanuan transmigrates into a book and becomes a cannon-fodder princess, destined to be the male lead’s stepping stone and executed by the villain.
In her previous life, her family was wiped out and she died miserably in the street. The lonely, helpless young villain Xie Jingchen, meanwhile, climbed to the top over a sea of blood, becoming a regent with power over the court, a madman feared by all.
This time, Su Ruanuan only wants to stay alive. She avoids the male lead and intercepts the boy who is so hungry his eyes have sunk into their sockets, offering him the first piece of bread.
“Xie Jingchen, I’ll protect you from now on. Just promise you won’t turn evil, okay?”
Xie Jingchen grips her hand tightly. His fingertips are cold, but his hold is firm. “Protect me? Then I’ll give you my life.”
From then on, everyone in the capital knows that Regent Xie Jingchen is cruel and ruthless, yet he bows to Princess Su and does whatever she says.
Her half-sister frames her? The regent wipes out her entire family.
A prince plots against her? The regent storms the palace.
Someone asks, “Regent, aren’t you supposed to be the villain? Why are you so afraid of your wife?”
Xie Jingchen draws Su Ruanuan into his arms, his eyes bloodshot as he murmurs adoringly, “She is my life. Whoever dares touch her, I’ll slaughter the whole world.”
