After Being Reborn, I Fled for My Life, and the Prince Regent Begged Me To...

[He strangled me with his own hands in my past life. After I was reborn and tried to run, he went mad]

The first thing Shen Zhao did after being reborn was avoid the regent. Staying alive came first.

In her past life, she had happily brought him osmanthus cakes, only for him to strangle her in his study.

He never told her why, not even as she died.

This time, she hid, ran, pretended to be ill, and refused his proposal.

But the man who killed without blinking cornered her and asked, his eyes red:

“Why are you avoiding me?”

Shen Zhaoxin could only answer respectfully, “This humble woman would not dare.”

Somehow, he heard that she liked osmanthus cakes, so he had every tree in the prince’s estate uprooted and replanted.

He was ruthless in court, but completely at a loss around her.

He was also raising a five-year-old emperor who kept coming to play matchmaker:

“Uncle, do you like Sister Zhao?”

After a long silence, he said, “She will marry me.”

Shen Zhao: ???

Only later did she learn that he had searched for her for eight whole years.

From the moment she gave him a steamed bun when she was eight, he had been hers.
