Coming soon: "The Widowed Woman Is Seized by the Regent" Blurb: After her mourning period ended, Lin Yi returned with her two children to her family home in Jianjing, planning to stay for a few months. The times were turbulent, and her family was planning to secure her brother’s position and protect the clan by arranging a marriage. As a daughter of the Lin family, Lin Yi was deeply worried about her loved ones’ safety and her family’s future. She never imagined that she herself would become the most important piece in their plan. When the old emperor died suddenly, foreign tribes watched hungrily from the sidelines. Yin Cangbei, a rough man with a cold and violent temper in the eyes of the court, became the all-powerful Regent, whose authority none dared defy. To curry favor with the young Regent, the great families of Jianjing tried every means to win him over, sending him rare treasures, gold and silver, precious stones, and fertile land in a single flood of gifts. Of them all, the Lin family was the most eager to please. With a smile, the family patriarch offered the Regent his daughter, claiming no woman in the world could match her beauty. Yin Cangbei raised an eyebrow and scoffed at the claim. But one day, while hunting on the western mountain, he happened upon the Lin women out on a spring outing. One woman had a face like peach blossoms. One glance, one smile, and Yin Cangbei stopped dead in his tracks. Turning to his subordinate, he said, “That old bastard from the Lin family wasn’t lying. Since he’s offered me a Lin daughter, take her back to my residence.” With that, he pointed from afar. Lin Yi, who had been chatting warmly with her nieces, was “invited” to the Regent’s residence. Blurb subject to change. A beautiful and resilient heroine × a domineering, forceful hero. The heroine is older than the hero. The heroine has no prior sexual experience; the hero does. Theme: Be kind to yourself and follow your heart
