The Regent Keeps Losing His Disguise

At seventeen, Liu Mianmian was abandoned at the Marquis’s residence. She thought she had finally found a home, never realizing that her maternal grandfather had taken her in only to use her. Amid the infighting within the household, she secretly teaches herself medicine to protect herself, but unexpectedly saves Gu Yunsheng, the regent who is pretending to be a dissolute wastrel. He buys her candied hawthorn, teaches her to climb over walls, and says he wants to marry her and take her home. But on their wedding day, she finds a blood-written letter in his study. His father, it turns out, was the culprit behind her birth mother’s death. Caught between the vengeance owed for her family’s destruction and a love that runs deep, should she bow to fate or take up her sword for revenge? And behind Gu Yunsheng’s gentle smile, whom will the long sword that has broken countless spines be pointed at this time?
