After Marrying the Regent, I Let Loose

Synopsis:

[Marriage Before Love] [Power Couple] [Palace Intrigue and Political Scheming] [Chasing His Wife to the Crematorium] [Sweet Romance]

A marriage contract turns her from the most beloved Zhaoyang Princess of Great Yan into a caged bird in the hands of her sworn enemy, Regent Xiao Jue. Everyone says she is arrogant and unruly, that her only asset is her beauty, and that she is unworthy of the powerful Xiao Jue, nothing more than a pawn to help him consolidate his power. On their wedding night, she tosses aside her phoenix crown and boldly declares, "Xiao Jue, if you think I'll obediently do as you say, think again!" He responds with a cold laugh: "Your Highness's claws will be pulled out one by one, sooner or later."

Everyone expects to watch her lose favor and fall from grace, but who could have guessed that this princess would play by her own rules? She tears apart hypocrites, tramples political rivals, opens businesses, and builds an intelligence network, turning the Regent's palace and the entire capital upside down. As the court's fortunes shift and schemes pile up, she becomes Xiao Jue's staunchest ally, using her mastery of medicine and poison to protect her young brother and stabilize the court.

Later, the cold-faced demon king everyone fears is making her a meal in the middle of the night, then drawing her into his arms. His voice hoarse, he whispers, "Nini, I'll offer you the empire as my bride price and serve you as your subject. Don't leave me." Only then does Chu Yunni realize that their marriage, which began as a scheme, has long since become a love he planned from the start. But when he first asked to marry her, was it for imperial power, or was there something else behind it?
