Click to see how many steps it takes to reform a little wolf cub!

Qi Nianyao has nightmares for ten days straight. Before long, Qi Ze, the adopted son of the Qi family, will gather troops and declare himself regent. Then the regent will raze the entire Qi estate, and Nianyao will be implicated and exiled to the northern desert.

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

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

Nianyao looks at Qi Ze, covered in mud, and steps forward, pinching his ragged sleeve between two fingers. "I... I'll take you back to the Qi estate."

Qi Ze, the little dirty kid, the wolf cub, glares fiercely, yanks his sleeve away, and plops down on the ground. No way!

Nianyao's eyes immediately grow red. Everyone thinks that the delicate, fastidious Nianyao is about to cry. Instead, she wipes Qi Ze's hands clean with a silk handkerchief, her nose red, then still pulls him to his feet.

"I'll let you live in the same courtyard as me from now on, but you can't get this dirty, all right?"

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

At first, the wolf cub: I'm not eating or drinking. Nobody can make me!

Later, the wolf cub: I only want Nianyao to feed me and raise me. Nobody else touch me!

"Little scene"

Years later, the little wolf cub becomes regent, fierce and ruthless, decisive in his killings. Everyone trembles when they see him, but he still confiscates the estate of Old Third Qi.

Nianyao's lashes flutter. "I-is the regent going to exile me?"

Qi Ze pulls her into his arms and carefully strokes her rosy lips. "Would you let me exile you to be my wife for the rest of your life?"

She is the only light that pulls him out of the abyss.

Reading guide: One-on-one romance, a sweet little story about redemption.

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

P.S. There are many fictional details, drawing on customs, clothing, and official systems from various dynasties. Please don't nitpick.

Next novel: My Minister Husband Is Sickly and Doglike. Please preorder it~ Blurb below.

Yue Lanyu, the only daughter of Prefect Yue, is a beauty famous throughout Jiangnan. Since childhood, she has been engaged to Wei Zhanchen, the younger son of the Duke of Wei.

Unfortunately, before the wedding, Wei Zhanchen is suddenly poisoned and attacked. They say he won't live for more than three years.

Prefect Yue feels sorry for his daughter, breaks off the engagement, and marries Yue Lanyu to Su Ziyao, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review.

But Su Ziyao already has a lover. The Su family only wanted the Yue family's wealth, and as soon as Yue Lanyu arrives in the capital, Su Ziyao sends her to a separate residence.

Reborn into a new life.

On her wedding night, Yue Lanyu meets the Director Wei.

He has a sickly, deathly pale face, but beneath his clothes is a strong, well-built body.

The Director Wei, feared by everyone in the capital, leans against the bed and gazes impassively at the peerlessly beautiful face before him.

"Your husband is frail. I'm afraid I won't be able to satisfy you, A Yu."

Yue Lanyu's lashes tremble, and she doesn't dare raise her head.

The next day, Yue Lanyu gets up with tears in the corners of her eyes, rubbing her sore, aching waist. "Since your poisoning hasn't fully healed, husband, you should be careful not to overexert yourself from now on."

After Wei Zhanchen woke from the poisoning in his previous life, he learned that his engagement had been broken off. Now, looking at Yue Lanyu beside him, he curls his lips in a cold smile. "What? Am I still not as good as your dear cousin?"

Yue Lanyu: ...? This is bad.
