In his previous life, Shen Qingci was exploited by the third prince until he died. He was poisoned and drunk in the cold palace, and his entire family was destroyed. On the day she was reborn and returned to hairdressing ceremony, the first thing she did was to reject the imperial decree granting marriage.
Turning around, she found Xiao Jingheng, the powerful regent - the cold-faced King of Hell who was said to be prolific in murdering people and not being a womanizer.
I thought it was just an alliance of interests, but he made exceptions time and time again. When she was assassinated, he personally destroyed the killer's lair; when her family was wronged, he did not hesitate to make the whole court an enemy; when she said "she doesn't want to get married," he promised not to force her in her life.
Later, everyone in the court knew that the Shen family's eldest daughter was the regent's favorite, and touching her was tantamount to courting death.
From abandoning her son in the cold palace to becoming the most powerful person in the world, it was him who would protect her in this life.
