I Heard the Baby's Thoughts, Broke Off My Engagement, and Married the Regent

On the day of Yun Zhiyue's wedding, her unborn child speaks in her mind: [Mother, don't perform the wedding rites! My father isn't the groom! Xiao Chen is plotting against you!] She tears off her veil in front of everyone, exposes her half-sister Yun Ruyan's pregnancy, tears away the Jin Prince's household's hypocritical facade, then turns to the terrifying Regent, Yan Jiuqing. He says he's unable to have children. She replies, "Your Highness, I'm carrying your child!" He says taking her with him isn't worth the trouble. She stakes her million-tael dowry just to get him to say, "I will protect you." From then on, she breaks off her wedding and marries the regent, takes down scumbags, fights the unbearable, and takes charge of the family estate. She thought that in this life she'd be alone and independent, having to rely on herself for everything. She didn't know that the man behind her had already been willing to give her the whole world. When she scolds someone, he hands her tea. When she beats someone up, he gets her a whip. When she kills someone, he hands her the knife and cleans up afterward. Everyone in the capital says that the Commandery Princess of Dingguo is growing more and more lawless, relying on the regent's influence. He only replies coolly, "She's mine. I can do as I please." Then a young, handsome, honey-tongued prince arrives with the envoys from the Western Regions. Yun Zhiyue takes two extra looks at him and praises him as "quite handsome." That night, the regent disappears. The next day, an urgent message arrives from the border: the regent has personally led an army to the Western Regions and is threatening to trample their royal court. The ministers kneel before the princess consort, begging her to make peace. Yun Zhiyue hurries to the military camp, pregnant, and lifts the flap of the command tent. There she sees the man, who always wears black, dressed in an outrageously flamboyant pink battle robe, his hair bound with a gold crown. "Let's see whether he's younger and more handsome, or whether I'm more to your liking."
