[A sweet little story about redemption~ Upcoming story blurb↓]

Qi Nianyao dreamed that six years in the future, a coup would erupt in the Great Wei dynasty. Qi Ze, the adopted son of the third master of the Qi family, would raise an army and declare himself Regent.

Because the third master had treated Qi Ze poorly, Qi Ze would confiscate the entire Qi estate. Even Nianyao would be implicated and exiled a thousand miles away.

Terrified, Nianyao hurried to the outskirts of Yanjing that very day, dug her future imperial uncle out of a mud pit, and took him home.

*

Everyone in the Qi family knew that Nianyao loved cleanliness. Her room had to be cleaned three times a day.

Looking at Qi Ze, who was covered in mud, Nianyao stepped forward and pinched his ragged sleeve between two fingers. "I, I'll take you back to the Qi estate."

Qi Ze, the filthy little kid and wolf cub, shot her a fierce glare, yanked his sleeve away, and plopped down on the ground. No way!

Nianyao's eyes immediately reddened. Everyone thought the fussy, fastidious Nianyao was about to burst into tears. Instead, she took out a silk handkerchief and wiped Qi Ze's hands clean. With a red nose, she pulled him to his feet. "You can share my courtyard from now on, but you can't stay this dirty."

The girl's cheeks were tender as peaches. Her soft, sweet scent lingered at the tip of Qi Ze's nose. By the time he came to his senses, he was already at the Qi estate.

At first, the wolf cub was all: "I won't eat or drink! Nobody tell me what to do!"

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

*Little extra

Years later, the little wolf cub became Regent, fierce and ruthless, making decisive calls. Everyone's knees went weak at the sight of him, yet he still confiscated the third master's estate.

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

Qi Ze pulled her into his arms and carefully stroked her rosy cheek. "Nianyao, how about I exile you to be my wife, so you can stay by my side for the rest of our lives?"

She was his most precious treasure, the darling he kept in the palm of his hand.

Reader's guide: One-on-one romance, not siblings. The male lead is two years older than the female lead.

The male lead has always known his true identity and is protected by hidden guards. As a child, he was a fierce little wolf cub. Awoooo!
