    🎉Jiang Chuyue had loved Xiao Ji for ten years, and as his nominal "sister," she could only watch helplessly as he took one concubine after another. At a palace banquet, to protect his beloved concubine, Xiao Ji forced her to marry the Regent. Xiao Ji told her, "The Regent is my close friend. He won't consummate the marriage with you. You can divorce him after things have calmed down." Jiang Chuyue's heart turned completely cold. On their wedding night, the Regent, known as the "Living Yama," lifted the red veil. Jiang Chuyue asked, "I heard from my brother that you won't consummate the marriage with me?" The Regent replied, "I wish, is that alright?" Jiang Chuyue closed her eyes and said, "Yes." Jiang Chuyue felt she didn't know the Regent well, but unexpectedly, after the marriage, she was immediately "slept with," and received the unique love she had longed for since her youth. Later, news of Jiang Chuyue's pregnancy spread, and Xiao Ji, who was fighting on the border, turned gray overnight, rushing back to the capital day and night. Xiao Ji trembled and said, "Little Yue, I regret it."
