After My Face Was Disfigured, the Regent Kissed Me Every Night

On the first day after I transmigrated, I was disfigured and thrown into the Cold Palace. A cruel nanny poisoned me, leaving me trapped in a desperate situation.

The System urgently warned me: [The Regent outside is dying. Hurry and save him!]

I dragged the unconscious, gravely wounded Xiao Yan inside and stripped off his clothes to treat his injuries. In a daze, he grabbed my chest and murmured, "So soft..."

[Virality +100!]

When he woke, he gripped my throat and demanded coldly, "A spy?"

I replied, "Jiujiu."

He left me with the words, "I'll be back," then turned and walked away.

The next day, a carriage full of precious treasures was sent to the Cold Palace. The letter contained just one word: Miss you.

To restore my looks, I disguised myself as a man under the assumed name Shen Jiu and opened a gambling house to earn points.

To cure my poison, restore my appearance, and make a place for myself in the capital, I put on a painted-skin mask,

disguised myself as a man under the assumed name Shen Jiu, and opened a gambling house while secretly building an intelligence network.

From then on, the Regent, who held power over the court and showed no mercy,

sat alone in a corner of the gambling house every day, his gaze dark and fixed on me, never looking away for a moment.

Rumors spread throughout the court. Everyone said the iron-blooded Regent had turned out to be a lovesick man.

He accepted it openly and indulged the rumors without a word of denial, letting the whole city buzz with scandal.

Everyone knew there was an ugly, lonely girl in the Cold Palace, and that a young prodigy named Shen Jiu had appeared in the streets.

What no one knew was that the lowly captive Shen Jiujiu and the young man Shen Jiu, whom he watched so closely and favored so openly, were one and the same.

When the mission was complete, the little white fox left with tears in its eyes.

Years later, my hair white, I sat alone in the courtyard watching the sunset. The white fox returned through the flowers and settled on my knees. [Host, I missed you all.]

I smiled gently. "I knew you'd come back."

After all the twists and turns of transmigrating, he became my lifelong companion, and the fox, my home.
