Ruling the Court: The Regent Prince and She Who Ruled the Realm Again

[Reborn + pseudo uncle-niece relationship + political intrigue + two powerful leads + revenge + heartbreak + feel-good story + past and present lives] In her previous life, the entire Chancellor’s household was condemned to execution. Only as Shen Zhaoning’s blood stained the execution ground did she realize the truth: the Crown Prince’s promise to make her his crown princess had been nothing but a scheme to use her to bring down the Chancellor. The charge that her father had betrayed the country was fabricated by the Crown Prince and the Chief Grand Secretary. In her final moments, she saw Gu Yanzhi, the Regent who held all the power at court, storm the execution ground in a frenzy. He slaughtered three thousand imperial guards for her, then cradled her body and rasped, “Zhaoning, in our next life, I won’t be your uncle.” Reborn, Shen Zhaoning opened her eyes and immediately kicked down the gates of the Crown Prince’s residence, rejecting his proposal in front of everyone. Her next move was to avoid the name on the imperial marriage edict, the man she both hated and feared: the Regent, Gu Yanzhi. The entire capital laughed. The Regent, who wielded power over the court, had actually been granted a marriage? And he was marrying his niece in name? But no one knew that on their wedding night, the decisive and ruthless Regent knelt before her, his eyes filled with the madness he had suppressed across two lifetimes. “Zhaoning, this time, no one will ever separate us.” Even if I am your uncle.
