The Kingdom of Women

Ji Xuanxi leaned against the couch and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep. She looked as if she were drunk, as though she'd completely forgotten the Wang Jun kneeling below her.

Shen Xingchen lowered his eyes and continued kneeling without moving.

A quarter of an hour later, Ji Xuanxi asked coolly with her eyes still closed, "What brings the Wang Jun here?"

"I... I have come to... to ask for the rules, my lady." Shen Xingchen stammered through the sentence.

At the same time, he took the disciplinary cane from his sleeve and respectfully presented it with both hands.

Ji Xuanxi opened her eyes and saw a pair of hands trembling slightly.

Afraid? Then why come here?

By rights, a wife laying down the rules was supposed to happen on the wedding night. Since she hadn't been there last night, had this man foolishly come to make up for it?

Hah, it seemed he had come here only to get her attention. What a hypocrite!

The thought suddenly filled her with anger. She sprang to her feet, took the cane, and slapped it twice against her palm to test its strength.

At the sound of the cane, Shen Xingchen shut his eyes and tensed all over.

Ji Xuanxi, the fourth princess of Great Qian, had won countless military honors and avoided men like the plague.

Though she had obeyed her mother's orders and brought the son of the Shen family into her household, she had left him aside and ignored him.

When time turns back, will there still be time for her to regret it?
