Gentle, sweet girl x a great villain always on the verge of going dark. [A crisp, sweet little tale of salvation.] Add it to your collection to see how many steps it takes to tame a little wolf cub!

Qi Nianyao dreams of a coup six years in the future, when Qi Ze, the adopted son of her Third Uncle Qi, rises with an army and declares himself regent of the Great Wei dynasty.

Because Third Uncle Qi treated Qi Ze poorly, he has the entire Qi household executed. Nianyao is also caught up in it and exiled thousands of miles away.

Terrified, Nianyao rushes out to the outskirts of Yanjing that very day, digs her future imperial uncle out of a mud pit, and brings him home.

*

Everyone in the Qi household knows that Nianyao loves cleanliness. Her room has to be cleaned three times a day.

Nianyao looks at Qi Ze, covered in mud from head to toe, and pinches the sleeve of his tattered clothes between two fingers. "I... I'll take you back to the Qi household."

Qi Ze, the little dirty child and wolf cub, shoots her a fierce look, yanks his sleeve away, and plops down on the ground. No way!

Nianyao's eyes immediately turn red. Everyone expects the fussy, delicate clean freak to burst into tears. Instead, she uses a silk handkerchief to wipe Qi Ze's hands clean, then pulls him to his feet, her nose red. "You can live in the same courtyard as me from now on, but you can't be this dirty anymore."

The girl's cheeks are as tender as peaches, and her soft, sweet scent wafts past Qi Ze's nose. By the time he comes to his senses, he's already at the Qi residence.

At first, the wolf cub says, "I won't eat or drink! Nobody bother me!"

Later, the wolf cub says, "I only want Nianyao to feed me and take care of me. Nobody else touch me!"

*Bonus scene

Years later, the little wolf cub becomes regent, fierce and merciless, decisive in his killing. Everyone trembles at the sight of him, and he still has Third Uncle Qi's household executed.

Nianyao's lashes flutter. "R-Regent, are you going to exile me?"

Qi Ze pulls her into his arms, carefully brushing his fingers over her rosy lips. "Nianyao, let me exile you to become my wife. Stay with me for the rest of my life, all right?"

She is his most precious treasure, the darling he holds in the palm of his hand.

Novel blurb:

In her previous life, Zhao Xingcai, the legitimate daughter of the chancellor's household, married the wrong man and was betrayed by her husband, leaving her family destroyed. Now she has awoken from a dream and gets to live her life over again.

She is accidentally kidnapped into the palace and misses the imperial decree arranging her marriage. But the Fifth Prince, Wei Zhaoqian, recognizes her in her little eunuch disguise.

The Fifth Prince narrows his eyes. Xingcai swallows, her hands trembling.

Who is the Fifth Prince? The future emperor who will usurp the throne and overthrow the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace!

When she was young, she relied on her elder sister being a consort to steal the Fifth Prince's lotus-scented cake, break his glass beads, and smack his noble rear end...!

Xingcai looks at the cool, aloof prince, now two heads taller than her, and feels a sudden ache in her backside. Swallowing her pride, she slips a piece of lotus-scented cake into his hand.

"Y-Your Highness, have some!"

P.S. One-on-one sweet romance. The setting is very fictional, so please don't nitpick or demand historical accuracy.
