[A little political scheming + marriage first, love later + face-slapping + power fantasy + happy ending + 1v1]
[Reborn, deranged regent king + transmigrated-into-a-book, drama-queen general]
Shen Li transmigrates into a book and becomes the cannon-fodder side character who clings desperately to the male lead, only to end up dead in the wilderness.
From the start, she's in hell mode: she's lying on the regent's bed, beside the most deranged villain in the entire book.
His hand tightens around my throat, his voice sinister: “You'd better give me an explanation.”
Shen Li launches straight into it: “Your Highness, please investigate this thoroughly! Someone framed me!”
Xiao Lin sneers.
He doesn't believe her.
But the next day, in front of the entire capital, he takes the fortune-telling slips my parents prepared and tucks them into his sleeve:
“I'll send the betrothal gifts in three days. No, two.”
Wait
She was only trying to cling to a powerful patron and stay alive. How did she end up marrying him?!
Pei Jinan puts on a false show of trying to keep her: “A Li, no matter what happens, I won't break off our engagement.”
Shen Li throws down the betrothal jade pendant. “But I've slept with the regent. Do you still want me?”
The whole city is in an uproar.
Only Xiao Lin lowers his head and grips her chin, his eyes blood-red:
“Shen Li, you died horribly in your previous life. In this life, even if I have to go mad, I'll protect you to the end.”
She's stunned.
A previous life?
What exactly is this madman hiding...?
