[Revenge after being reborn + winning back his wife means competing hard for her + light political intrigue]
[An outwardly innocent, inwardly calculating heroine who never forgets a grudge, strikes decisively, and grows stronger]
[An older male lead who is partly amnesiac, brooding, obsessive, devoted, and a little too sweet-talking]
The bitter winter snow was the last nightmare of Jiang Dai’s previous life.
She had gone south to recover for three years, but in her absence, her family had taken in an adopted daughter who stole her identity, status, and every scrap of her family’s affection.
She refused to accept it, crying and fighting back, but her closest relatives joined forces to torment her. In the depths of winter, she died of illness at home.
When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the carriage taking her home.
The blood and tears of her past life remained vivid. This time, she would reclaim everything she had been denied!
Mercy was not in her nature, but by a twist of fate, she rescued him from a pile of corpses. She had no shortage of guards, but she was one bed-warmer short.
When his identity was finally revealed, Jiang Dai learned that the man who knelt every night to warm her feet was none other than Qi Xian, the regent who wielded power over all under heaven and had slaughtered countless people.
Jiang Dai quietly pulled her feet back, hoping to keep her distance, but he seized her and pressed her onto the bed. “Mistress, have I done something wrong?”
“N-no... You’ve been wonderful.”
“Then when will Dai Bao be willing to give me a proper title?”
He stood above a multitude, took her hand, fended off open and hidden attacks, and kept her safe and at peace year after year.
[Apologies for revising the novel. If the story feels uneven in places, it may be because I’m still working on it. Sorry, sorry! Only chapters with four-character titles have been revised.]
