I Used Poison as a Betrothal Gift, and the Prince Regent Became My Devoted Admirer

[Two formidable leads + poison doctor + contract marriage + intense push and pull + mutual salvation]

Shen Qingdai, the sole survivor of the Shen family, will do anything to avenge her family's slaughter. She offers poison as her bride price and signs a life-and-death contract with Xiao Lin, a regent with power over the court who has been struck by a strange poison.

His memory is unreliable, and he treats her like a caged bird; she advances step by step, turning him into a blade in her hand.

Bound by the Wangchuan Gu, they share life and death, and grow intimately close.

“Your life belongs to me, Your Highness. Anyone who dares touch you, I'll kill.”

Later, he regains his memories and learns that she is “A Heng,” who saved him on a snowy night years ago, and also the daughter of his enemy.

The officials of the court all declare that she is a wicked consort who must be executed.

Yet he shields her fiercely, his sword's icy gleam stretching across fourteen provinces. “She gave me my life. Anyone who dares touch her is my enemy!”

From a cage forged by contract to offering her the realm as a bride price, he gives her his entire empire, all to secure a lifetime of peace for her.

“A Heng, I offer you the realm as my bride price, with its mountains and rivers woven into your dreams. Will you marry me?”
